The Greek Dodecanese Islands: Kos & Rhodes

11 days  |  14 days with Meteora, Delphi & the Athens Riviera extension

Group size
15–28 travelers
Activity level

History gets highlighted by the warm Aegean sun on the beautiful Dodecanese Islands.

Floating in azure waters just a stone’s throw from the Asian mainland, the Dodecanese take the vibes of Greece’s other islands and add impeccably preserved monuments to the mix. Want sterling sands and arresting ruins that rival those of Athens? Kos’ beaches and Rhodes’ walled Medieval City offer both (along with easy connections to the pristine shores of neighboring Kalymnos, Plati, Pserimos, and Symi). Spend some blissful days island-hopping, then head home with a tan and memories of paradise—or right along to Meteora and Delphi on this trip’s extension.
