Leros Hiking Map

Scale: 1:25.000
Edition: June 2009

This is the first GIS map of Leros . The island is mapped with a topographic precision in proportion to the map scale.

It is the first time the island’s entire coastline is mapped. Cartography was done with a specially equipped and staffed cartographic vessel. This means that you can locate all beaches Leros, down to the tiniest cove! In fact, the special features of every single beach are recorded: whether it is sandy or pebbled, whether it features natural tree shade, water, a beach bar or organized water sports, whether the seabed in front of the beach is sandy or rocky (so that you will know where to anchor).

It features a complete road network, down to the most insignificant dirt road, so no junction will ever confuse you.

Any trail found was recorded. While there are trails on Leros, due to the lack of any markers or maintenance most of them are “extinct”. TERRAIN’s cartographers located them, but preferred not to include them in the map as these trails are literally impassable and hikers would be in trouble. They recorded the 2 or 3 trails in relatively better shape, and they commit to mapping and publishing them in a later edition of the Leros map.

Map of Leros is printed on Polyart plastic “paper” , making it totally waterproof and rip-proof. You can fold it and unfold it a hundred times, fold it in irregular ways, dunk it in the sea or leave it out in the rain. This map is indestructible!
