At the SE end of the Aegean, between Kalymnos, Nisyros and Symi, emerges Tilos, the beautiful and picturesque island of the Dodecanese, with its high mountains and its simple Aegean nobility.

Three settlements with charming architecture welcome every visitor who from the picturesque port of the island, Livadia, heads to the beautiful capital Megalo Chorio, which impresses with its narrow streets and stone houses.
