Dodecanese Islands

Holidays in the Dodecanese Islands all look a little different to one another. This is due to the extreme variety in the size and character of these fifteen unique islands.

Authentic Dodecanese Trips

Despite Dodecanese meaning 12 islands, there are far more than 12; in fact, there are 15 larger islands and 150 smaller islands. 26 of the Dodecanese Islands are inhabited, but many more than this number are worth visiting on one of our Greek sailing holidays. Going back three millennia, Rhodes has been the most powerful and most significant island in the Dodecanese archipelago and this same prowess applies to its place in the hearts of tourists around the world.

Read about taking a holiday in Rhodes with Epicure Greece if you’d like to know more. We also offer trips to Kos, Patmos, and Simi that can be crafted and personalised to suit your group’s needs. There is simply far too much to summarise about the Dodecanese here, but we would be more than happy to wax lyrical about these incredibly special Greek islands, helping you plan your Dedecanese trip. If you’d like a helpful and inspirational conversation about planning your holiday to the Dodecanese Islands, please feel free to get in touch.

Kos

The third largest Greek island in the Dodecanese complex, known for its historical sites, and long sandy beaches.

Patmos

A Greek island steeped in mystery, Greece’s ‘Holy Island’, Patmos, has a strong spiritual character, but it also one of Greece’s most beautiful islands.

Rhodes

Rhodos, also known as the ‘Island of Knights, is the fourth biggest island of Greece and by far the biggest island of the Dodecanese complex.

Symi

Symi is a small Greek island in the Dodecanese, known for its sea sponge and shipbuilding industry. It’s definitely got the ‘wow’ factor.
