No, I've not been to Leros or Patmos, but have sailed to and around quite a few of the other less well known Greek Islands.

They're all lovely and have their own charm and character so I doubt you'd encounter much in the way of problems.

The high speed dolphins (passenger boats that come up out of the water on skis) are great for getting about quickly and island hopping if you can't get a normal ferry.

If you do go, take a boat ride out as there are plenty of Dolphins (the swimming variety) to be seen and they will often provide plenty of photo opportunities.

Not been to Leros but went to Patmos about three years ago.

Patmos is fairly well connected by ferry - GA Ferries service from Pireaus to Rhodes stops there as the island is popular because of the monastery there. Otherwise its nice enough, not particularly exceptional in any respect and probably not the place to stay if you want loads to do but its nice enough for a few days.
