Dodecanese Islands - Travel Guide

Map of Greece Dodecanese

The literal translation of Dodecanese is "Twelve Islands" although there are 16 inhabited ones and up to 27 in total. Dodecanese have a distinct character and architecture due to successive rulers - Venetian, Ottoman and Italian while the formal incorporation of the Dodecanese into Greece came in 1948.
