Rare Italian Rationalist port town on Leros
A harbor town on the Dodecanese island of Leros, notable for its unusual 1930s modernist architecture. Leros has a small airport at Partheni and ferries dock at Lakki's deep natural bay.
Lakki was rebuilt by Italy in the 1930s as a naval base with sweeping Rationalist buildings, giving it a distinctive planned townscape unlike any other Greek island.
