What to do and see in Dodecanese, South Aegean: The Best Free Things to do

June 3, 2021 Nobuko Falco

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.

Beautiful crystal clear water I found puffer fish and Octupus AMAZING !!!! This beach is clear ,shallow great for young children and keeping an eye on them... Beach is the perfect size not too big and not too small, beds are priced reasonably, we were cheeky and asked for a discount, friendly guy said go on then it’s end of season, nice little bonus, the beach is narrow but that adds to the charm, very quiet and relaxed LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BEACH ????❤️????????

Just love the short climb up to the castle and to breath the fresh air here. The most spectacular views over the Aegean can e seen towards Symi. The small cafe has excellent Thyme honey on offer after the harvest and is one of the best honey's we have ever purchased.

This is totally undersold, an easy-ish climb from the parking (coffee shop nearby for after!) and the views were exceptional. You can walk around and into the small church at the top, and also light a candle (donations can be left there too). There is no entrance fee, but should be!

In the centre of Kos town you will find this very attractive square. Great place to have a coffee and people watch. Small market for gifts next to the church, which is a worth a visit.

Must be the best stretch of beach on the island. Nice drive down off the main road and lots of parking adjacent to the beach. Lots of facilities, toilets, beach bars, shops. Lovely naturist section at the end for a safe natural swim, 3 or 4 lovely taverna's at the top of the hill for lunch or dinner. A must place to visit if you are on the island travelling around

Plaka Forest

Reviewed By pirret - Norwich, United Kingdom

We hired a quad bike for several days and we made several visits to feed the cats and peacocks as we are animal lovers. The cats go crazy for meat and tinned food. We gave the peacocks a variety of watermelon, tomatoes, tinned sweet corn, and bird seed. They also really enjoyed the dry cat food. The forest isn’t difficult to find- it is just behind Kos airport and the clearing where the animals gather is fairly easily accessible via transport- probably not easy to get to if walking though.

Ladiko Beach

Reviewed By jaguar58 - Bridgend, United Kingdom

I was staying at at the Atalanti Hotel outside Falaraki. It was a pleasant twenty minute walk to this lovely little cove every day. Although I am a qualified diver I had not even brought a snorkel with me but I could play around the rocks every day watching fish. Lovely cove. The vendors for the sun loungers were friendly the beach bar served lovely food even if it was very expensive
