About Tilos Island

Tilos is one of the smallest and quitest island of the Dodecanese and it is situated between Kos and Rhodes.

Tilos is of great archeologial interest as remains of prehistoric elephants have been found on the island in the Charkadio caves. Such remains are unique in Greece and consequently Tilos has been dubbed the "Island of the Elephants".

Recently a rare descovery took place in Tilos. A cave full of skeletal elephants with unusual size have been found. The elephants were smaller than the usual ones. This is unique phenomenon. Some of these skeletons have been assembled and they are exposed at the island. The cave is a place worthly to visit.

Bon Voyage,
