Chief place: Megalokhorió
Tílos (Italian Piscopi) is a bare and rugged island in the Dodecanese (Southern Sporades), lying half way between Rhodes and Kos. The inhabitants make a modest living from farming, on terraces which have been laboriously built up over the centuries, and fishing. Throughout the island's history its fortunes were closely linked with those of Rhodes.
Tílos also has a number of other ruined castles and some 25 churches, chapels and monasteries of the 13th-18th centuries, most of them in a dilapidated condition.
1.5km/1mi northwest of Tílos lies the little island of Gaidouronísi (lighthouse). 3km/2mi southeast is the island of Antítilos.
