Bus trip to Lakki

14 March 2018 | Leros - Lakki
We had a great bus trip to Lakki, the main town on the island of leros, the bus driver beeps his horn at everyone along the way and drives with precision along the narrow streets.

The bus passes the beautiful bays of Alinda and Krithoni and you can see the Pandeli Castle high up on the hill top above Agia Marina.

The town of Platanos is high up on the hill and we will go an visit the castle and the town once we are back in the water, which will be approx a week from now.

Everyday here in the boatyard you can hear the call of the bugle from the nearby military base and of course the arrival of the planes just beside the yard. There are a few more people arriving now to ready their boats for the season.
