This experience, in a nutshell

Scattered off the coast of Turkey, the islands that make up the Dodecanese constitute the easternmost and most cosmopolitan archipelago, with architectural features of clear oriental influence. They were the last territories to be incorporated into modern Greece.


The Dodecanese ( Kos, Kalymnos, Leros, Lipsi, Patmos) and the Southern Sporades (Ikaria, Fourni and Samos) offer a great variety of natural scenery and activities: beaches equipped for every sport, safe and solitary landings, caves and fjords, high green mountains, rocks and islets in abundance. The itinerary is very varied, some islands are parched and barren, others green and fertile and rich in water springs. All the islands are wonderful, each with its own grace, each with its own story.


Under a great sun, carried by the wind, from port to port, from cove to cove, we will discover the villages and landings of these Aegean islands: white villages clinging to the rock that look at you from above, jagged coasts, intense light and sun, a crystal clear sea, churches, castles and monasteries, together with a warm welcome of an area still out of mass tourism. These are the Greek Islands, which in mythology gave birth to heroes and gods.


The itinerary is very rich and admits multiple variations: we will alternate days of longer navigation with days that require only a short sea ride and we will allow ourselves stops to go and browse the land and explore the islands by bike, car or renting scooters, stretch our legs and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation and refreshing baths in the most beautiful coves.


No previous experience is needed, but the boat holiday is suitable for a young crew, with good agility and physical fitness, a lover of the sea, sailing and travel.

The actual route will be decided on the spot based on weather conditions, listening to everyone's preferences but on the unquestionable decision of the Captain, who aims to ensure a pleasant and safe itinerary.

In case of adverse weather conditions that cannot be circumvented, we will stop in a port or in a protected roadstead, exploring the island from land and visiting the villages and beaches.

The following itinerary is therefore indicative.

Our itinerary

Embarked in the port of Kalymnos, which can be easily reached from Kos airport, we settle on board, get to know each other and make a galley. In the evening we go out to visit the town and for the first dinner together. The next day at an early hour we go to sea heading north, a stop for lunch and to take a refreshing swim and we arrive in the enchanting bay of Pandeli in Leros, where we stop in the roadstead. The next day we continue towards Lipsi, where we can enter the village or stop in a lovely very protected bay, perhaps organizing a barbecue on the beach. In the morning we leave to visit an islet east of Lipsi, with a small beach and wonderful coves. we continue after lunch to Patmos. In Patmos we refuel the boat and supplies, those who want can go up to visit the Chora, the cave of the Apocalypse and the Monastery. From Patmos we will decide, based on weather and wind conditions, whether to continue north and visit Fourni and/or Samos or whether to go down to visit Astypalea, and then return to Kos.

Andrea was a great captain. We felt completely safe with the way he led us through all the beautiful places, ports and hidden bays with clear azure water. In those places, we swam with school of fish and encountered swimming pigs, jumping dolphins , a huge seal, baby octopus and turtle.It was truly magical to sail without the engines from time to time. We felt like we became part of the ocean. It was kind of Andrea to let us take part in some simple and safe tasks. We were lucky with the other passengers with whom we shared this experience. They were excellent chefs. We enjoyed working together in the galley.The seafood risotto under the stars was one of the best meals of our week. Thank you Andrea! J & M
