Hippocrates the father of Medicine, philosophers, artists, mathematicians, astronomers, Olympic game winners and even one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, Kolossos of Rhodes, come from this corner of Greece.

Location

Located in the southeastern in the Aegean Sea, with Kastellorizo being the easternmost of Greece. The best time to cruise the Dodecanese is spring and autumn. During summer, “Meltemi” winds blow and for sure, adventurers will enjoy the challenge.
