The Dodecanese Islands are an archipelago in the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea. Here you can find medieval castles, ancient ruins, beautiful beaches, and picturesque villages. Rhodes, the largest island, is famous for its old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These islands are ideal for those looking for a combination of culture, history and natural beauty.
No matter which of the Dodecanese islands you go to, you will find traces of peoples and cultures that have left their mark over the centuries: Ionians, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Ottomans and Italians. Each island has its own character.
Our journey will begin on the island of Kos, the heart of the Dodecanese.
Kos is easily accessible by direct charter flights from most European countries.
