This experience, in a nutshell

A sailing holiday, in itself, is something different that goes outside the common schemes, sailing in a flotilla is even more. Do you want to come and find out?
Come with us to the fantastic and solitary bays kissed by the sun, with an intense blue sea and a group of friends who, pushed by the wind, will take you to discover the fabulous islands of the Dodecanese .

The flotilla will sail from Kos to sail the waters of the eastern Aegean Sea and enjoy the beauty of these islands. There will be aperitifs under the stars or in the moonlight and unforgettable baths
We will be 2 Catamarans and 1 Sailboat, see details and photos in the "Boarding classes" section.

The Dodecanese is a beautiful island complex located in the southeast of the Aegean Sea. It is one of the sunniest corners of the Greek islands. Twelve large islands and numerous smaller islets with crystal clear waters, sandy or pebble beaches, important archaeological finds, imposing Byzantine and medieval monuments are waiting to be discovered.

WHY CHOOSE THIS HOLIDAY?
• A soft itinerary without long crossings against the wind or with rough sea
• Circular program that allows you to always visit different places
• Modest on-site expenses
• Warm and not humid climate, in August it is fabulous
• Stops scheduled in relation to the prevailing wind PROGRAM of principle

PSERIMOS: It is located a few miles north of Kos. It is a small island ideal for an anchorage in a very protected bay with a beautiful beach and clear water like a swimming pool.

LIPSI: Small and quiet island located between Leros and Patmos, with beautiful bays. In the largest and safest is the port and the largest settlement on the island, Leiposoi. In the picturesque square there are taverns and small bars. With a walk you can reach the church of Panaghia Charou, the most important on the island.

ARKI: The largest of the islet complex north of Lipsi. The marina with about 70 inhabitants is located in the innermost point of a fjord protected at the entrance by other islets. Beautiful anchorages between the various islets in clear blue water.

PATMOS: Long and narrow and very twisted, arid but with jagged coasts and rich in splendid anchorages, it must be traveled by motorbike to appreciate the gentle slopes and the numerous panoramic points. Cosmopolitan and full of tourists, however, it has retained its own personality. In Chora we find the imposing monastery of Agios Iannis Theologos from whose terrace you can admire a unique panorama that extends over almost all of Patmos and the nearby islands. There are many beautiful bays, some of which are sandy.

LEROS: It is the island of multiple and wonderful bays including Lakki, the largest and safest port in the Dodecanese. The northern bays between the Archangelos islets are wonderful for an anchorage. The scooter is ideal for visiting the settlements in the interior: Platanos, Agia Marina and Pandeli. The view from the castle is amazing as you can admire both the bays of the west coast and those of the east coast of the island. A downhill road then leads us to Agia Marina, the island's second port.

KALYMNOS: It is a mostly rocky island with many bays and sea caves. The capital is Pothia or Kalimnos, built as an amphitheater on the hillside, with the geometric shapes of the colorful houses, churches and picturesque streets, it gives the image of cheerfulness.

KOS: It is the tourist port from where we will sail, it is located in the center of the Dodecanese archipelago. It is a long island, with irregular coasts and fertile plains. The capital is a garden city where all the eras of history overlap in the shade of large trees or between groves of pink laurel.

NYSIROS: It is the volcano island. Few beaches, black rocks and white houses. What is most striking is the green found on the island. The road that rises and then descends inside the volcano winds in fact among splendid olive trees. You can go down inside the main crater (30mt deep); you will feel like walking in a lunar landscape!
Mandraki is the capital of the island, built under the imposing rocky mass of the Monastery of Panagia Spilianì and behind the black rocks scattered in front of the sea. Characterized by picturesque alleys and wonderful squares. The monastery, the medieval castle and the Acropolis are worth a visit. We will certainly stop one day to go on a moped excursion.

SYMI: It is one of the most picturesque islands of the Dodecanese, very close to the Turkish coast, with the mountains that descend almost precipitously to the sea, creating wonderful bays. Chorio 'is captivating, it climbs the two hills that flank the port and reaching the two peaks creates a single city.

AGATHONISSI: It is the northernmost island of the Dodecanese, it consists of three large traditional settlements (Agios Georgios, Megalo Chorio and Mikro Chorio). The sea is an enchantment.

ASTIPALEA: It is the westernmost island of the Dodecanese, located at the point where the Dodecanese and the Cyclades archipelago meet. This is why Astypalea has the characteristics of both island complexes. You can't miss a visit to the Chora, the island's capital and the port.

The itinerary is subject to the decisions of the captain and the weather and sea conditions.

Wonderful places, unique islands, each one with different characteristics. The boat was really nice and big, with some malfunctions but nothing compromising. Too bad I didn't take advantage of every day to visit coves, the last day we were in Capo d'Orlando to avoid the queue at the refueling, I understand the needs but ... The only flaw is the feeling that a tour was planned but without being interested in the opportunities of the area, you get off and you don't know what to see or how to move, you spend the night in Lipari and the next evening there is the feast of the Patron that you miss ... Navigation yes but organization no. Competent skipper who always made me feel safe while sailing, I did not like the requests from the galley and the lack of knowledge about extra navigation information. The holiday was described as a flotilla but a separation between the two boats is deliberately maintained, which did not create problems for me but it is only for fairness.

I would have liked more information and indications on places to visit and more interaction with the catamaran, since it was a flotilla holiday. Thanks to Gabriele, an experienced skipper, I have always felt safe even in the face of the unexpected. Seeing the Aeolian Islands like this, I was not enthusiastic but I was lucky to have experienced, collaborative and nice people on the boat!

Wonderful experience and above expectations! The skipper Fabrizio, in addition to being very experienced, perfectly interpreted the group's wishes by taking us every day to coves with spectacular water and different but intact and wild locations (including a natural park where everyone left their hearts), and alternating in a balanced way the much-loved roadsteads with stops in the ports, in which there was no lack of chore characteristics. We ate very well because in the lucky group there were very good chefs who prepared pasta, flatbread, fish and other delicacies every day! The boat was comfortable and organized! An experience for which I would leave today and that I recommend to all lovers of the sea experienced on a boat!
