The Dodecanese jewel | Five reasons we love Tilos
Sep 06, 2023
Imagine a Greek island whose white-washed houses were powered only by wind and sun, where dolphins danced in its sapphire seas, and orchid-studded trails meandering across meadows and mountains were more plentiful than roads.

Part of the remote Dodecanese archipelago that hugs the Turkish coast, tiny S-shaped Tilos stands serene and solitary between bustling Rhodes and Kos. There’s no airport, it’s too far from its larger neighbours for day trips by boat, and mainland Greece is a 15-hour ferry journey away. So, the island quietly carves its own path – one that over the past few decades has had a refreshingly green hue.
