The Municipality of Leros is proceeding with immediate interventions to deal with dangerous spots after the damage caused by the stormy winds, with work that started in Drymonas and continues in Merikia, as announced by the Mayor of Leros, Timotheus Kottakis, in a post on social media.

The Mayor of Leros, Timotheus Kottakis, made an extraordinary two-day trip to Rhodes, participating in a long meeting with the South Aegean Region regarding the course of critical infrastructure projects, such as the landfill and the restoration of the port of Lakki.

About 80 members of Harley Davidson Club Hellas are expected on Leros from 16 to 20 September, extending the island's visitor season.

The General Directorate of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage, of the Ministry of Culture, is proceeding with the recruitment of one thousand five hundred people with a fixed-term contract, lasting seven months, throughout the country, among them about thirty people in archaeological sites throughout the Dodecanese.

Associations and organisations across Leros are joining a campaign to strengthen voluntary blood donation and wider community volunteering.

The situation in emergency pre-hospital care on Leros and the smaller islands in the area is a matter of immediate public safety and cannot be delayed further.

Press Release – The situation that has developed on the coastal road of Alinto (before the Koulouri coast) is now alarming and requires immediate intervention by the Municipal Authority.

With Leros counting wounds on its coastal front, the road to Drymonas will remain closed from the playground to Ai Giorgi, due to the serious problems caused in the area by the bad weather.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION

According to initial reports, a request is expected to be submitted by the Mayor of Leros, Timotheos Kottakis, to declare Leros in a State of Civil Protection Emergency, due to the serious problems that have been recorded in the port infrastructure of the island.

Mayor Timotheos Kottakis described the severe weather on Leros as unprecedented and said protecting human life remained the first priority.

Severe weather turned the seafront road at Alinda into a river, with seawater, stones, gravel, seaweed and sand making travel hazardous.

The presentation delivered on 3 February 2026 on the Local Spatial Plan (TPS) for Leros follows a clear underlying logic: to bring order to building activity and land use through zoning, clearly defined settlement boundaries and special protection areas. The study identifies Scenario 2 (moderate intervention) as the preferred option.
