Grey, gold and green, framed by the blue of the sea and sky, are the colours composing the portrait of Kalimnos and Astipalea' s small white houses with brightly painted windows open to the sun, caves with stalactites and stalagmites welcome the visitor.
Kos is a splash of deep green. Among the thousands of impressive sights are the "Asklepeion", the houses dating from the Roman era with the fabulous mosaics, and the palace of the knights of St. John in the town of Kos.
You will know you are on Simi by the mountains and the small valleys, wonderful coves, strong sense of tradition, and the monastery of the Archangel Michael with Byzantine frescos.
In the North of Dodecanese complex lay the North Aegean islands: Samo, Hios and Lesvos. Olive trees, vineyards and thick pine forests, sandy beaches, monasteries, pretty traditional houses and old mansions combine with the aquamarine of the sea.
