Leros is gradually being established as an attractive conferences destination for mostly smaller scaled conferences and seminars.

There is a 300 seat conference centre on the island near the ideal location of Krithoni as well as the 150 seat capacity conference centre of the Holy Metropolis located at the Alinta which has a spectacular view onto the blue water of the Aegean Sea.
