Sailing cruise to Dodecanese Islands, Greece

Check-in available from 5 p.m. at the embarkation Marina. After the technical check-in and a short presentation of the boat, you can take your seat in the cabins and board the galley before setting sail.

In the morning we set sail from Kos and head north for the spectacular island of Kalymnos. It will enchant you with its arid and wild nature, where bays with crystal clear waters (a paradise for fishermen and diving lovers) alternate with suggestive cliffs falling steeply into the sea and making this island the favourite destination for climbing lovers.

This route will take you north with an enjoyable close-hauled sailing, blown by Meltemi winds until you arrive on the island of Leros. Far from mass tourism, this is an island for true connoisseurs. For lunch, you can moor in the little bays protected by high cliffs and go ashore to try the traditional cuisine in the picturesque taverns in Lakkion.

The navigation continues towards the south to explore the island of Leros. Stopover for swimming, sunbathing and a peaceful lunch at anchor on the southeastern islet of Piganousi. In the afternoon, we head back west and enter the calm and safe Xirocampos bay. Here you will find crystal clear water and a beautiful beach with olive and fig trees, as well as a little village where you can taste the best ouzo in the Aegean Sea.

From Leros we proceed towards the north in the direction of Lipsi. This little island gives great emotions to its visitors, thanks to its super beautiful bays with white beaches and turquoise waters. It also offers safe and protected docks where you can enjoy a fascinating sunset in total relax.

We leave early from Lipsi to reach one of the most magical and spectacular places in the whole Dodecanese: Arki. This island is a real paradise reserved for the few people who have the fortune of reaching it by boat.
