Alimia

If you've ever dreamt of escaping to a desert island, Alimia is the place you need to be. Located between the Greek islands of Halki and Rhodes, it is virtually uninhabited - except by sheep, goats, and donkeys.

Halki

Home to dozens of churches and shrines, and about 300 people, picturesque Halki (aka Chalki) boasts the reputation as being the Greek Island of Peace and Friendship. It is also the source of the BEST ice cream in the Mediterranean.

Kastellorizo / Meis

Kastellorizo (or Meis if you prefer) is the smallest Greek island in Dodecanese region, and is located just a few kilometres off the Turkish coast near Kaş. It is mountainous and rocky - with absolutely amazing views of the Mediterranean!

Lindos

White houses and buildings form a confusing labyrinth, but there's no better way to pass the time than trying to find your way around the charming Greek village of Lindos with its imposing acropolis.

Rhodes Town

Everyone's favourite medieval walled city in Greece. Rhodes Town is actually comprised of two parts - the Old Town (the walled city) and the New Town (which surrounds it).

Symi

Have you ever heard the term "pretty as a postcard"? It definitely applies to Symi, Greece, the colourful harbour town on the island of the same name in the Greek Dodecanese.
