This is a trip not to be missed! Santorini, from where we will set sail, is magical: the island is founded on a caldera formed by a volcano that collapsed in the sixteenth century BC that forever shaped its rugged landscape. High up, all around the huge bay, perched on the steep black cliff stands an amphitheater of cube-shaped white houses gathered in two townhouses, Oia and Fira, . From these cities, the view extends to the magical sea of Greece, the small islands to the west and the beaches made of black, red and white volcanic stone.

Leaving the magical Santorini, before arriving in majestic Rhodes, we will touch a series of delightful, picturesque islands:

Anafi, tiny, quiet, lying on a vast horizon, is a place where time seems to have stopped: visiting it you can admire fantastic views typical of the Ciladi.

Astypàlea, the butterfly-shaped island, offers breathtaking views from la Hora, its tiny center: a group of whitewashed houses dominated by a medieval fortress.

Tilos, with its warm amber mountains, is home to a very rich fauna and in its blue waters of its many bays it is easy to meet sea turtles.

Driven by the Meltemi, we will arrive at the largest island of the Dodecanese: Rhodes and its capital, Rodos. Famous in ancient times for its colossus overlooking the port of Mandraki, it is spectacular and steeped in a glorious history. In all eras it has always been an important trading center and by 400 BC it was already divided into three capitals: Rodos, the current capital, Lindos and Kamiros. The latter are still archaeological sites in excellent condition. Here the crusader knights took refuge to resist the revival of the Saracen warriors and built the imposing castle that still dominates the city today. The historic centre of Rodos is dominated by churches, a mosque and theGrand Master's Palace.

The Mandràki, the ancient port where we will moor, is still surrounded by picturesque windmills. Looking out you can see the Turkish coast in the distance, and walking along its piers you seem to see the fast galleys ready to attack those of Saracen pirates.
