Travel to Tilos!
Do you want to be adventuresome? Do you want to be left alone? Would you like to discover a Greek island without hordes of tourists tramping about? Most importantly, would you like to see an island with rugged natural beauty and a pristine environment, the way nature intended? If you can answer yes to three out of four of the above questions, then Tilos is your island! |
Tilos is a small Dodecanese Island situated northwest of Rhodes, southwest of Simi, and southeast of Nissiros. The easiest way to reach it is by a flight to Rhodes, then by ferry to Tilos. This is not an island for everyone, but it is a destination for people looking for peace and quiet, rugged beauty, beautiful sea views, excellent walks, and a simple lifestyle. The island’s population is very small, about 100 or so persons during the winter, and not more than 500 or so during the summer; and the island itself is only 63 square kilometers in size, with about 65 kilometers of irregular coastline. You will not find a lot of frills by way of accommodation, restaurants, lively bars, and smart shops. On the contrary, this island is just about as laidback as you can get. |
The main port of the island is called Livadia(meaning meadows), with tourist services here, plus some tavernas, accommodation, and a few bars . |
