Dodecanese Island Holidays

"These islands are renowned for their unspoilt, green landscape, secluded beaches, where locals welcome you for an authentic slice of island life"

The ‘Dodecanese Islands’ are situated in the south-easternmost region of the Aegean Sea. This archipelago contains some well-known & popular islands such as Rhodes, Kos, Patmos & Leros, with Kalymnos, Karpathos, Patmos, Symi & Tilos offering wonderful island-hopping opportunities on quieter islands with rock climbing & diving possibilities. Given the islands’ proximity to Turkey, there is a history of Ottoman & even Roman rule, with influences from this rich history clearly evident on the islands today with many medieval castles, Byzantine churches & archaeological sites to be discovered. The region is also famous for its peaceful beaches. The most convenient way to explore the Dodecanese islands is to fly to Rhodes or Kos where you will be able to visit the other islands by ferry.
