On the west side of the island, the open Bay of Gourna appears. The beauty of the landscape is supplemented by attractive country homes, gardens, orchards and plantations of citrus trees. It is one of the villages that is quite popular with all visitors to Leros, particularly because of the large, sandy beach. 

 

 

 

After passing Gourna southbound, you we will find the settlement of Drymonas. In this area, there is the small church of the Virgin Mary Gourlomata with remarkable, religious frescos inside. The church was built in the 14th century from building materials derived from a ruined building of ancient times. The settlement is sparsely developed and it has and excellent view. It has small units and rooms to rent.
