Dodecanese Archipelago Holidays

Dodecanese Archipelago holidays lead you to the confluence between East and West, to more than 12 Greek islands scattered along the Turkish coast. With 330 miles of coastline, Rhodes is the largest of them all. And like all the best Greek islands, it boasts ancient wonders, sandy coves and medieval stone villages set into the hillside. During the heat of the day, seek out shade along the charming pebbled streets of its historic old town which is lit by night with a spellbinding orange glow as the sun sinks over the horizon. The holy island of Patmos is more difficult to reach, and it’s thanks to this fact that it has retained its authenticity in the form of Orthodox chapels and villages where vibrant bougainvillea climb up white walls. This is notably where St John wrote the Apocalypse, but sacred sites aren’t Patmos’ only draw. Quiet beaches lend themselves to dips in translucent deep blue water, and mealtimes mean traditional dishes in family-run tavernas. Together, these islands promise a magical mixture of Byzantine monuments, archaeological gems and the sparkling Aegean Sea. Read more
