BBC’s culture and story writer Alex Sakalis praises the weird and unique beauty of one of the most unlikely places in the whole of Greece, the small town of Lakki on the Dodecanese island of Leros.
Actually, the author dubs it as a town like no other in the country noting:
“Lakki, on the Dodecanese island of Leros, is unique. Its church, austere and minimalist, is more Bauhaus than Mamma Mia. The school, with its wide, looping porticos, is a hybrid of modernist and Byzantine elements. The pulsating Art Deco cinema seems to power towards the sea like a speeding bullet train. Just behind it, a UFO-shaped atrium latches onto the town’s imposing clock tower. A strange, disc-shaped appendage sprouts from the tower like a toadstool. As if to hammer home the surreal nature of it all, all four clock faces show different times.”
