About Dodecanese

A striking archipelago set between the Cyclades and Turkey, Greece’s Dodecanese Islands are perfect for sun seekers and heritage aficionados alike. Translated as the ’Twelve Islands’, this group has been fought over for thousands of years by the Minoans, Persians, Crusaders, Ottomans, Brits and Germans, amongst others. Strategically situated, these rugged islands have also come to be beloved by hikers, wind surfers and scuba divers — as well as the inevitable archaeologists. The best places to stay in the Dodecanese are as varied as the islands themselves, and our list of highlights include charming guesthouses, chic boutique boltholes and seaside resorts alike.

Rhodes, the most famous of the group, is nothing short of spectacular. Favoured by history buffs and romantics, the island’s beautifully preserved Old Town is a maze of winding cobbled streets, surrounded by medieval walls and brilliant for day or evening strolls. Expect archaeological museums, imposing landmarks, chic boutiques and top restaurants to sample and savour. Many of Rhodes’ most charming hotels are within the Old Town itself.

Kos, on the other hand, is a gorgeous choice for contemporary seaside resorts — ideal for unwinding after touring ancient ruins. There are ruins and restored landmarks on Pátmos, too, best-known as the site of the cave where St John experienced the visions which led to the Book of Revelations. Now a major site of pilgrimage, the island is also a favourite amongst keen hikers, who will also love discovering Astypalaia. Lovely Leros will delight divers and snorkelers, whilst Symi is sure to impress sailors and relaxed amblers with one of Greece's most spectacular harbours. We have a soft spot for Kastellorizo, too — this often-overlooked island is just off the Turkish coast. Utterly enchanting, the island is also home to one of the very best places to stay in the Dodecanese.

The Best Places to Stay in the Dodecanese

FOR Boutique Luxury

  • Petra Hotel & Suites is an elegant, unpretentious collection of suites with uninterrupted views over the bright blue Bay of Grikos on Pátmos. Think soothing cream-clad interiors with work by Greek artists and rooms with private balconies. Feast at the à la carte restaurant after laid-back days in the sunshine, or scenic seaside strolls. A honeymoon favourite.
  • Albergo Gelsomino is a beautiful boutique bolthole just minutes from Lambi Beach on the edge of Kos Town. Built in 1928, this iconic heritage hotel now boasts eight sleek, luxurious suites, as well as a superb fine dining restaurant. A romantic gem.

  • Melenos Lindos, a boutique refuge in Rhodes with glorious Aegean Sea views, has a distinctive Moorish feel. Beds are raised on wooden platforms, hand-embroidered textiles adorn the walls, and sun-drenched terraces are ideal for kicking back after days of exploring.

FOR COUPLES

Sea swims are just steps away, and the friendly hosts whip up delicious Mediterranean breakfasts each morning. Utter bliss.

      • Saluti Da Stampalia, built to resemble a typical Astypalaia manor house, has seven serene suites, perfect for romantic honeymoons. Think light-filled mezzanine bedrooms, huge whirlpool tubs, hip blue, white and cream interiors and superb hosts, whose home-cooked breakfasts are nothing short of divine.
      • OKU Kos sits on the tranquil northern coast of the island. A wellness resort with sleek, minimalist interiors inspired by the Japanese concept of exploring inner space, this hideaway has a soothing, healing atmosphere. Feast on farm-to-table cuisine, take yoga, pilates and meditation classes or unwind with rejuvenating spa treatments. Sensational.
      • Caesar's Gardens Hotel & Spa is an adults-only hideaway with spacious, airy rooms and suites, the best of which come with private pools. Chic interiors have exposed stone walls, artisanal craft decor and high beamed ceilings. Stroll through fragrant gardens, savour dishes using ingredients from the hotel's own farm, and unwind at the serene spa. A lovely rural retreat in Rhodes.
