Hotels in South Aegean, Greece

The South Aegean region in Greece is a sun-soaked archipelago of volcanic islands and ancient ruins, famous for the whitewashed villages of Santorini and the medieval Old Town of Rhodes. Summers are hot and dry, with temperatures around 30°C (86°F), perfect for sailing the deep blue Aegean Sea or hiking the caldera rim in Fira, while winters are mild at 15°C (59°F), ideal for exploring Rhodes' 14th-century Palace of the Grand Master without the crowds. The Cyclades islands like Mykonos offer windsurfing in Ornos Bay, but the Dodecanese islands like Kos have ancient Asklepieion ruins-pick your vibe based on whether you want nightlife or history.
