On the Aegean's eastern, edge the Dodecanese present perfect Greek vistas of whitewashed walls, turquoise blue skies and seas. Island-hopping by ferry, hydrofoil or catamaran is a splendid way to get into the leisurely pace. Once docked, you'll find many of these twelve idyllic islands are easily explored on foot. Don't miss Rhodes' Acropolis, the ruins of ancient Kamiros and Valley of the Butterflies or Kos' Askepion ruins. Tiny Patmos is known for the cave of St. John of the Apocalypse.

Surrounded by medieval walls, this old part of Rhodes is the location of many interesting attractions of historical significance.
Excellent town and lots to do and see Also plenty of shops and bars and places to eat Great old town well worth getting off main streets and exploring Back streets where things seemed cheaper

Chora (also known as Hora) is absolutely gorgeous. Every narrow street is a photoshoot in and of itself. There are several good restaurants here the views from which are spectacular (our favourites were Benetos and Jimmys). There's the monastery museum to visit which is lovely. I suspect in normal times (ex covid) Chora is generally packed with tourists so best to go early or late. Luckily for us with it being mid September and no cruise ships visiting Patmos we'd Chora all to ourselves and it truly is a magical place

The Medieval Moat was built to keep enemies away from the main fortification system but unlike other Moats this one has never been submerged in water. It is about 2.5km long and a very nice walk! There is even a theatre inside the Moat and you can spot Sand Martins.

It is amazing that anyone can walk for free through these ruins into houses and sometimes with mosaics. In most countries it would all be roped off.
