DODECANESE NORTH

Dodecanese, meaning “12 islands” in Greek, is a cluster of twelve islands in the southeastern edge of Aegean Sea. They are closer to Turkey than Greece. Each island has a character all its own and these islands have a long and rich history, with traces from classical Greek times through Byzantium, the Crusaders, Venetians and Ottomans.

KOS

Kos is also known as ‘Istankoy’ which is the hometown of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. There is a square and an old tree named after Hippocrates on the island. Being a place where Turks are in majority, Turkish-Greek synthesis was passed on to the cuisine with joint flavors. Oleanders and bougainvillea accompany its striking architecture. Two mosques named Laziya and Defterdar are the traces of the Ottoman Empire. It is rumored that the Neratzia Castle, located here, was built by the Knights of Rhodes to protect the island from the Ottomans. It is also possible to see the ruins of the ancient hospital dedicated to the God of Health-Asclepeion. Zia Village is among the places you can visit to enjoy the most delightful sunsets of the Aegean.

NİSYROS

Nisyros is known as ‘Incirli’ in Turkish. It is a volcanic island with a rich flora. Nisyros is the home for the traditional product of the non-alcoholic almond flavored drink called, ‘Soumada’. Near Mandraki, are ancient walls from the 5th century BC, a medieval castle and the largest monastery. You can see the crater, which has been bubbling since 1888, after a hard landing. You can visit the Volcanology Museum to learn more about the crater, which makes you feel like walking on Mars.

RHODES

Rhodes is the largest of the twelve islands which is divided into two as the new and the old cities. Surrounded by medieval walls, the old city has been declared a World Heritage Site. Due to its strategic location, the island has hosted different civilizations throughout the history scene.
