Patmos and Rhodes in 9 days
A slower Dodecanese trip that opens on Patmos, one of the quietest islands in the group, before moving through Kos and finishing with four nights in Rhodes. The order backloads the biggest island for last, once the ferry-hopping is done.
Day by day

Patmos has no airport, so most travelers fly into Kos or Rhodes and take a fast ferry across; once there, the Cave of the Apocalypse and the monastery of St John fill three nights.

Kos takes two nights for Kos Town castle, the ancient Asklepion, and Tigaki beach, reached by a 1h 45m fast ferry from Patmos.
Kos → Rhodes · 2h 20m · from €55 - Day 6–9 Rhodes
Rhodes closes the trip with four nights in the medieval Old Town, a day trip to Lindos, and time for the beaches south of town, reached by a 2h 20m fast ferry from Kos.
