Search flights from LRS to JKL
Gourna Bay
The wide, shallow bay on the western side of Leros, known for its sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
Telendos Island
The legendary 'Sleeping Princess' island, which was once part of Kalymnos before an earthquake in 535 AD.
Limestone Massifs
The sheer, world-class climbing cliffs of Kalymnos that rise dramatically from the sea.
JKL High Plateau
The unique perspective of approaching the Kalymnos runway, which is built on a high limestone plateau.
The right side is superior for sunset flights as you track south, capturing the golden hour over Telendos. Given the low altitude of this island-hopper flight, the geological details of the rock formations are highly visible. This side is especially recommended for rock climbing enthusiasts heading to Kalymnos.

Leros Pandeli Castle
The medieval Byzantine fortress and iconic windmills standing guard over the bays of Alinda and Pandeli.
Agia Marina Port
A bird's-eye view of Leros' traditional administrative center and its charming waterfront architecture.
Aegean Sea Archipelago
Expansive views of the deep blue sea dotted with smaller islets like Agia Kyriaki and Piganousa.
Pothia Harbor
The bustling main port of Kalymnos, characterized by its amphitheatrically built colorful houses.
Sit on the left if you want to see the main settlements and ports of both islands. Since this is a very short flight (often under 20 minutes), keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Leros. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the eastern coastline without glare.
