Dodecanese Islands
Information
The Dodecanese archipelago, located in the south-eastern part of the Aegean Sea, contains some of the most evocative islands in Greece. Rhodes, the largest, boasts a medieval historic center declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, with imposing walls and a fascinating chivalric past. Kos, on the other hand, is famous for its ancient ruins, long sandy beaches and a lively atmosphere, ideal for those who want to combine relaxation and fun.
Kalymnos, known for its sponge fishing tradition, offers mountainous landscapes ideal for climbing and enchanting coves for swimming. Patmos, defined as the "island of the Apocalypse," captivates with its picturesque monastery of St. John and the labyrinth of streets surrounding the port. Other gems, such as Leros or Symi, enchant with their neoclassical architecture, colorful villages overlooking the sea and a slow pace of life that allows you to best savor Greek authenticity.
