General presentation
Rhodes et Dodécanèse
Eastern islands between the fortified old town of Rhodes, Lindos, warm coasts, medieval heritages and crossing to Kos or Patmos.
Rhodes, Lindos and Kos give the most telling landmarks of Rhodes and Dodecanese. Together, they form a destination where island landscapes, coastline and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 9 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very warm in summer and distances between islands. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Rhodes
Rhodes combines fortified old town, ancient acropolises, long beaches and villages from the inside on an island large enough to ask for real days of road. Its medieval heritage, especially in the capital, gives the Dodecanese a different color of the Cyclades.
Town or village
Lindos
Lindos associated white village, ancient acropolis and light bays on the east coast of Rhodes. The climb to the top staged roofs, pebbles patios, ramparts and the sea, with a very strong light in the middle of the day.
Town or village
Kos
Kos offers an easy mix of beaches, ancient remains, bike paths and mountain villages. Its main city concentrates castle, agora and port, while the interior and excursions to Nisyros give more relief to the stay.
