Tucked in the southeastern corner of Greece near the Turkish coast, the Dodecanese islands boast a rich history shaped by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, crusaders, Ottomans, and Italians. Their strategic position on key trade routes left behind a tapestry of archaeological sites, medieval castles, ancient trails, and whitewashed villages waiting to be explored.
Whether you’ve seen them in the movies or simply heard a friend speak about them after returning from holiday, the Greek islands are likely to have flirted with your imagination.This trip combines probably the two most beautiful: The spectacular Crete and the precious gem of the Aegean, Santorini.
