All about Dodecanese
When to visit
A visit to the Dodecanese Islands is best experienced during the summer months from June to August when the sun is shining, and the air is brimming with invigorating energy. With temperatures reaching a hot high of 86°F (30°C), it’s easy to see why these islands are a popular summer destination. However, some islands can be incredibly busy during these months, so those looking for more seclusion should visit during spring or autumn instead.
Getting around Dodecanese
The best way to get around Dodecanese Islands is by taking one of the many ferries that connect each island. From sleepy fishing villages to white sand beaches and charming red-tiled roofs—you can take it all in when you sail between islands with the sun on your face. Hiring a car or scooter on some larger islands like Rhodes will help you quickly get to all the sights and beaches.
Traveler tips
Plan for plenty of time; these islands hide much to see. Exploring all the islands on your itinerary may be difficult, so sticking to just a few will help you explore them more deeply. Booking ferry tickets in advance, especially in summer, will ease your transport woes and keep your trip as smooth as possible. There are plenty of companies to choose from, including Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways, and Aegeon Pelagos.
