TILOS ISLAND
Tilos is situated between Nissiros and Chalki.
It is a small island with natural beauties and historic monuments, but with no tourist
development. It keeps its traditional identity untouched and surprises visitors
with its graphic landscapes. It has an extend of 63sq.km and its ground is – mostly
– rocky, with an exception of a fertile valley in the inner land. Residents work
with animal breeding, agriculture and fishing. They stay true to traditional morals
and are very hospitable. Tilos is inhabited since prehistoric times. The remains
of the ancient town in Megalo Chorio, the Venetian Castle, the byzantine churches
and the bones of dwarfs found in Harkadio cave, reveal a lot about the island’s
history. Tilos is one of the most isolated islands in Dodecanese. If you are seeking
for quiet vacation, then Tilos is the place for you!
