Information On TilosTilos belongs to the Dodecanese and it is located southwest of Nisyros and northwest of Halki. It is the seventh largest island of the Dodecanese with a shape that resembles a hippocampus. Tilos is an island with mountainous rocky terrain, but it does have some valleys with running water where fruits and vegetables are grown. Traversing the extended network of paths of the island, the Ecological Park of Tilos, you will come across many byzantine churches, some of which still preserve their impressive murals. Tilos has three settlements, Megalo Chorio in the mainland which is also the capital, Agios Antonios and the seaside Livadia, but recently there is settlement developed in Eristos due to the popular beach. In Livadia the entire coastal road has been pedestrianized and is now an ideal place for a stroll, away from cars and noisy traffic. Tilos is an ideal destination for quiet family vacations, as it has no real nightlife. There are only a few bars, mainly in Livadia. It is worth visiting Tilos during mid July, where there is a big festival at the Agios Panteleimonas Monastery, on July 27th.
