Check out this spot in Alinda. Great location for swimming and paddling, scuba diving, sailing and wind surfing. Alinda is a scenic coastal town located on the island of Leros in Greece. The town is situated on a bay with a long sandy beach and crystal clear waters. Surrounding the bay are green hills dotted with traditional white-washed houses, churches, and windmills. The area is also home to numerous olive groves and fruit orchards, creating a beautiful landscape. The town itself is peaceful and picturesque, with narrow streets, charming tavernas, and a relaxed atmosphere. The area is perfect for hiking and cycling, and there are several trails that provide panoramic views of the nearby islands and the Aegean Sea.
