Visiting Tilos

Getting to and from Tilos

http://tilos-travel.com/tilos_ferry_schedules.php

Please refer to this ferry schedule, updated whenever the ferries change. At present Tilos does not have its own boat, but the Dodecanese Express and the Diagoras stop off en route between Rhodes and Kos and are very reliable.

Going via Rhodes/Kos?

You can search this blog for posts on Rhodes and Kos for ideas of things to do.

In Rhodes Old Town, the Archaeological Museum is a must. But if you want somewhere unusual to stop off for a drink or something to eat, I'd recommend a visit to 'The Dawn' - a cafe in a beautifully restored traditional house, Angela Castle, next to the church of St Fanourios.

Places to buy - Tilos

Unfortunately the little estate agency run by architect Seva and builder Panayiotis doesn't currently have a website. There are lots of properties for sale on the island but if you're seriously interested in buying, you should get professional advice to find out what's involved.
