  • Port Leone

    Port Leone lies on the southern coastline of Kalamos and was abandoned after the earthquake of 1953. The people never came back and the village has a poignant air about it, added to by the fact that the locals still maintain the church and visit weekly to ensure that there is oil in the lamps and flowers in the vases. Moor your yacht and take a little while to absorb the unique atmosphere on your Port Leone boat charter.
