The Greek Islands Which Didn't Join Greece Until 1947

The Dodecanese — the island chain furthest from the Greek mainland which includes Rhodes, Kos as well as other touristic gems — attracts thousands of visitors every year.

However, many sipping their ouzo or Greek coffee would not be aware that their sunny island paradise did not actually become part of the Greek state until halfway through the 20th century.

It was only in 1947, after having endured centuries of occupation by different powers and a campaign to strip them of their Greek identity, that the islanders joined their fellow Greeks.

The 15 main islands and 93 islets of the modern Dodecanese have always been something of a crossroads. Ever since antiquity, the islands had different forms of government or autonomy.

Even after the Ottoman conquest in 1522, the largest islands — Rhodes and Kos — came under direct Turkish rule while the rest had different relations with the new empire.

Using this self-government to flourish economically, Ottoman attempts to rescind these privileges in the 19th century pushed most of the islanders to favour union with an emerging, independent Greek state.
