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

October 27, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

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.

Spyros is an incredibly enthusiastic, kind and proud owner of his collection of antiquities, geological stones and minerals and artifacts depicting Greek mythology and Greek gods! The paintings on the ceilings we found especially beautiful! Spyros gave us a personal and enthusiastic tour and told us about his findings with a lot of wit. We would definitely recommend going here! It is a good way to see a broad spectrum historical Greek treasures!

If you are round the area I highly suggest visiting this lovely little museum, so much to see and cheap for what its worth. Great to go along with friends or family, owners will give you a full tour and explain anything needed to know. They also have a really nice little gift shop for you to take some lovely souvenir's home.

We were staying at the Blue Lagoon Village nearby and decided to get a taxi here. We didn't phone ahead, assuming it was still open (we were there at the end of October) It wasn't! It had closed the day before! Our taxi driver spoke with the owners, Anna and Michael who were busy decorating. They happily opened up the house for us and gave us a tour which was so interesting. They then said they were going to cook pizzas for themselves and would we like some? So we had beautiful fresh pizza, homemade juices and a traditional Greek coffee (something the posh resort we were staying at didn't even do!) in an idyllic setting. Michael even gave us fresh pomegranate picked straight from one of their trees! Added to our delightful visit, their cat had had kittens, so our young children were delighted playing with them. Anna and Michael were just so hospitable, our visit to the traditional house was one of the highlights of our whole holiday. At the end of our visit Anna offered to drive us back to our resort. I can't praise them highly enough. I just hope they get through this awful coronavirus period and continue to prosper.

Hospital of the Knights of St. John (Nossokomío lpotón) is one of the most interesting buildings of the old town and one of the jewels of Rhodes .Situated in the heart of the Medieval Town, Rhodes, next to the famous Street of the Knights, the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes (Hospital of the Knights) is a must visit attraction. Not only can you see a host of archaeological treasures and a real sense of 'the old Rhodes' but it offers plenty of shaded areas, perfect if you are visiting at a hotter time of year.
