Dodecanese Islands

The Dodecanese is a group of islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea, off the coast of Asia Minor. The Dodecanese gets its name from the Greek word „Dodekanissa“ (12 islands), a meaning that traces back through the region's eventful history.

Today, the Dodecanese consists of 27 larger and smaller inhabited islands and about 150 small uninhabited ones. The most important and well-known island is Rhodes, which has been the main economic and cultural center as well as the administrative seat of the region for millennia. Kos and Patmos are also of special historical significance.
