What to do and see in Dodecanese, South Aegean: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

April 3, 2022 Janean Rudisill

On the Aegean's eastern, edge the Dodecanese present perfect Greek vistas of whitewashed walls, turquoise blue skies and seas. Island-hopping by ferry, hydrofoil or catamaran is a splendid way to get into the leisurely pace. Once docked, you'll find many of these twelve idyllic islands are easily explored on foot. Don't miss Rhodes' Acropolis, the ruins of ancient Kamiros and Valley of the Butterflies or Kos' Askepion ruins. Tiny Patmos is known for the cave of St. John of the Apocalypse.

Reviewed By missbrowneyesxx - Norwich, United Kingdom

In the centre of Kos town you will find this very attractive square. Great place to have a coffee and people watch. Small market for gifts next to the church, which is a worth a visit.

Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes

Reviewed By FedoraOnTour - Sidcup, United Kingdom

Largely rebuilt by the Italians this is a very beautiful building - lovely views from the windown and lots and lots of interesting stuff for history buffs - beautiful mosaic floors nicked from Kos. You do get a feel for how the palace was during the crusades.

If you hire a car the visit to Asklipio is well worthwhile. Really a "hidden gem" with a lovely old castle on the hill and NO CHARGE to visit!

Chora Patmos

Reviewed By alisonsM6413UD - Newbury, United Kingdom

Chora (also known as Hora) is absolutely gorgeous. Every narrow street is a photoshoot in and of itself. There are several good restaurants here the views from which are spectacular (our favourites were Benetos and Jimmys). There's the monastery museum to visit which is lovely. I suspect in normal times (ex covid) Chora is generally packed with tourists so best to go early or late. Luckily for us with it being mid September and no cruise ships visiting Patmos we'd Chora all to ourselves and it truly is a magical place

This place has it all. Salfuric pillars coming out of the ground, steam pipping up from several places, amazing scenery, a decent place to enjoy a cooling drink afterwards.

Traganou Beach

Reviewed By Natlives - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Beautiful clear blue sea which is wavy in the morning and very calm in the afternoon. White pebbles surround the the long bay and there’s plenty of space (don’t be put off by the busy car park!) Sun-loungers are 5 Euros each with a sunshade and there’s a taverna for lunch, drinks snacks and ice coffees. One of my fav beaches in Rhodes.

after 400 steps you arrive at the top of the mountain at a beautiful church with a beautiful view. The walk up is well worth it
