The Dodecanese gathers more than 160 islands and islets in the Aegean Sea, including Kos, one of the hidden gems of this archipelago. In addition to its lively nightlife, you can discover its ancient remains (Roman baths, Agora, Asclepion…), hike its beautiful shores or refresh yourself in its translucent waters under a delightful climate. Children will also have the time of their life in the Aquatica Water Park, the water park of the island, located in Kardamena.

We linger a little longer on the Dodecanese to explore the sunny island of Rhodes, the largest island of the archipelago. Famous for having hosted one of the 7 Wonders of the ancient world, the Colossus of Rhodes, it ensures a magical immersion in the past. Between its medieval city registered in UNESCO, its port and its ramparts, the palace of the great masters and the castle of Mololithos, it promises a true journey through time.
