Tilos

Tilos is one of the wildest islands in the Dodecanese — half national park, half UNESCO biosphere, and the first Mediterranean island to run entirely on wind and solar power. The population is under 500, the coast is mostly empty, and the interior is full of medieval ruins: the ghost village of Mikro Chorio, the abandoned monastery at Agios Panteleimon, the dolichocephalic dwarf elephant remains in Charkadio Cave. Livadia is the main port — a small harbour with a few tavernas, a beach you can walk to from the quay, and absolutely nothing else. Day-sailing reveals empty rocky coves all along the south coast. Tilos sits 90 minutes north of Halki and a half-day from Symi. Season runs May through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
