From 16 to 20 September, Leros will host a gathering of Harley Davidson Club Hellas, an event expected to give the island valuable tourism exposure both in Greece and abroad.
The inclusion of Leros in the club's official calendar is another significant success for the island and demonstrates its ability to host major events with a substantial local impact. The timing is particularly important because extending the tourism season into September has been a longstanding objective.
According to the information available, about 80 people were expected to visit Leros for the gathering. Their stay would support the local economy while introducing the island to a group with strong travel potential.
Theodoros Asvestas, director of the Crithonis Paradise Hotel and deputy president of the Dodecanese Chamber of Commerce for tourism, played a decisive part in securing the event. Through targeted work and careful planning, he helped bring the meeting to Leros.
Giannis Konstantaras, a Leros resident and member of Harley Davidson Club Hellas, also made an important contribution. His intervention and support were instrumental in bringing the gathering to the island.
Leros's place in the official Harley Davidson Club Hellas calendar represents meaningful recognition of the island's potential as a destination for themed events and organised visits. The gathering was expected to benefit tourism, hospitality, restaurants and the wider local market.
Theodoros Asvestas told Leros News:
This is a major success for the island. I warmly thank our friend and fellow islander Giannis Konstantaras. Everything suggests that the event will be an impressive gathering with considerable influence, presenting Leros to a wide audience of motorcycle enthusiasts and quality travellers, while strengthening the island's outward-looking profile.
