Dodecanese islands in the Aegean seaIn the emerald vastness of the southeastern Aegean sea, south of Samos and Fourni, at the east of the Cyclades between Crete and Asia minor, lie the Dodecanese group (in Greek: "Dodeca" meaning twelve), which consists of twelve large islands and numerous smaller islands.

It is an enchanted world where the sun paints pictures and the sea gives life.
The mild winters and refreshing summers give the Dodecanese one of the healthiest climates in the Mediterranean.
