I was born in Leros and at 1 year old I moved with my parents to Australia, where we stayed for 7 years. Returning to Leros, I finished school and the same time worked in my fathers carpenter shop. I returned to Australia for a few years as a grown up, to finally reutrn to Leros to built and work the hotel. My wife is Danish and we have 2 grown-up sons. We are a multilingual family. My hobby is fishing and when and if I have the time I will take my little boat for some fishing.

Platanos is the traditional center of Leros. Here you stay among the local people. You have the traditional square of Platanos next to the hotel. It's very nice to join the elderly local men there in the morning, when they have their coffe. On the square you can follow the daily life of the islanders. Every shop you may need is conviently situated right at your doorstep and you only have a short walk to the area of Pandeli with its popular beach and local tavernas, and to Agia Marina the traditional harbour of the island.
