Small Boutique hotels in DODECANESE ISLANDS

Of the twelve Greek islands that make up the Dodecanese rosary, the best known is Rhodes, capital of the archipelago. Its magnificent medieval city walled with palaces, fortresses, churches, synagogues and mosques, is a melting pot of cultures. Among its many archaeological sites is the Acropolis of Rhodes on Mount Smith. The village of Lindos, totally whitewashed, is dazzling.

On the island of Kos, very close to the coast of Turkey, highlights include the Aphrodite Sanctuary and the many Early Christian and Byzantine churches. Here is the thousand year old tree under which Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, taught his lessons.  

Cliffs and small coves, accessed by boat, make up the mountainous island of Symi. In the capital, traditional neoclassical houses are captivating. Astipalea, Patmos and Leros seduce you with their popular architecture of white cubes. Among the most unknown islands is Karpathos, which has preserved its authenticity.

The spectacular Dodecanese beaches are enchanting with their transparent waters whose colors range from soft turquoise to deep navy blue. On these islands bathed by the Aegean Sea, facing the Turkish coast, you will find small hotels with lots of charm in privileged enclaves with front row seats to the sea.
