Several castles, a ghost-village, a late-Byzantine monastery, a capital city built below the ancient acropolis, paved paths surrounded by aromatic shrubs and beaches with colors of all hues between blue and green; these are definitely but few advantages for such a small island. Tilos inspired M. Karagatsis, it was the country of the ancient poet Irina and it still inspires foreign and domestic painters who narrate its landscapes with their work. The art, the history, the archaeology, the paleontology and the recreation in leisurely pelagic pace meet their ideal maidservant in this island.
