Info on Tilos Tilos is a small island in the Dodecanese, the seventh largest in the archipelago, and is located west of Rhodes. Tilos is crossed by the paths of the Ecological Park, almost 35 kilometers, which run along numerous Byzantine churches that connect the 3 villages of the island. Livadakia is the port of Tilos and is located within a bay bordered by a beautiful white pebble beach, surrounded by trees. Behind it is one of the first Christian basilicas that contains mosaics inside it. Megalo Chorio is the main village of the island: just 7 kilometers northwest of the port, it is characterized by extraordinary architecture, with small white houses that follow each other on the slopes of the hill of Agios Stefanos, under the ruins of the ancient city and of the medieval castle built in 1400 by the Knights of St. John. Do not miss the Paleontological Museum, where the bones of a dwarf elephant, one meter and 30 centimeters high, and extinct 7,000 years ago, were found, discovered in 1971 in the Harkadio cave, which is almost at the center of the island. The village of Agios Antonios consists of a few houses, a windmill and a beach.
