If you have an interest in WW2, this is worth the visit while visiting Leros. Take some time out from the beaches and make a visit to this very well done museum. It is well worth reading about the battle of Leros before your visit but even without prior knowledge, a good trip.

Really, eye opening experience. Learn about all the nations that have fought and died over this special island.

This neglected museum rich with WW-II artifacts has turned out to be one of the nice surprises of our stay in Leros. The displays stretch through underground bunkers and tunnels dug by the Italian Navy during 1930s. Unknowing to us until visiting this museum was a major naval, air and land battle between Germans on the one side, and British and Italians on the other, to have cost the lives of hundreds, and several hundred aircraft – the so-called battle of Leros. Unfortunately, very few of the objects on display have placards with good, accurate explanations in English language. More importantly, there is no explanation, no signs, no museum pamphlets whatsoever to give brief overview of what this Battle of Leros was all about, how it evolved and ended. With a little bit of professional attention, this museum could become a major attraction. Having few pamphlets prepared and printed should not be a major cost item even for an EU country in dire straits.

The museum is a brilliant place to visit. It's packed full of items from the war from personal collections. There is a film to watch which was very informative. It's one not to miss. Just be careful as it closes at 1.30pm!

It was really interesting, it shows the local history during WW II. Congratulations to the local people who shared their personal historic war stuff. The employee took great care to explain to us everything!!

The war in Greece has been well recorded where it happened in Crete, events elsewhere are less well known. The whole of the Dodecanese has its own story and this splendid museum on the north shore of Lakki bay tell the story of this island. Housed in a complex of artillery tunnels is an emotional collection of personal items which will leave you better informed about local, recent history. Don't miss the splendid video made up from archive footage.Now go to the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Alinda.

In the tunnels where people were hiding during periods of the second world war we got a very good idea of what had been going on and what life had been then. Absolute worth a visit.

This needs to be seen if you have any interest in what these islanders had to go through 50 to 60 years ago and the photos and films will really help you visualise the ports and landmarks of Leros.

An amazing WW2 museium in a tunnel, weapons, uniforms, pictures and a projection hall where you can watch a documentary about the battle of Leros

The Leros War Museum is worth visiting when you visit Leros. The outer area of the museum is not that attractive. It has a collection of old (but not WWII) army vehicles and a F104 plane. The inside of the museum is located in the old Italian build tunnels that was used before and during WWII as ammunition storage. The whole environment, humidity, lighting and audio footage tries to travel the visitor back in time and does a good job! The exhibits are interesting, original and tied to the the island history. You will find Italian items that are pre-WWII since Leros was an Italian naval base during the Italo-Turkish War. At the end of one tunnel there is a area that show a interesting short film of the Battle of Leros, that lead to the capture of Leros by the Germans. In the entrance there is a TV showing the video of the hauling out of a Junkers 88 from the Ag. Marina Port. The guide of the museum mentioned that they found personal items of the pilot that was given to his family. The plane is in Athens for restoration. I believe that returning this plane to the Leros War Museum will increase the value of this museum by far.
