Our itinerary

Departure from Astypalea: the Dodecanese butterfly
We start our journey from Astypalea, an island with an unmistakable shape that seems to rest on the sea like a butterfly. Its Chora, perched on a hill, offers a breathtaking view and an authentic atmosphere. After exploring its hidden coves, golden beaches and villages, we set sail for Kos.

Kos: the island of the god Asclepius
Kos is an island rich in history and culture, famous for its thermal baths and for being the home of the physician Hippocrates. We visit the Castle of the Knights of St. John, the Asklepieion, an old health resort, and the beaches of Lambi and Kardamena.

Nisyros: The Sleeping Volcano
We continue towards Nisyros, a volcanic island characterized by a lunar landscape. We visit the crater of the volcano and the traditional villages of Mandraki and Nikia.

Tilos: a haven of peace
Tilos is a quiet and unspoiled island, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. We explore its sea caves, its hidden beaches and the village of Megalo Horio.

Chalki: the pearl of the Dodecanese
Chalki is a small island characterized by colorful houses and a relaxed atmosphere. We visit its port, the church of Agios Nikolaos and the beaches of Emborios and Agios Georgios.

Symi: the island of artists
Symi is an island famous for its natural sponges and neoclassical architecture. We visit the monastery of Panormitis, dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, and the village of Yalos.

Arrival in Rhodes: the city of the Knights
After exploring these wonderful islands, we arrive in Rhodes, the largest and most famous of the Dodecanese. We visit the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Palace of the Grand Masters and the port of Mandraki.

And yes... the dream is over... because this was it. Living in the middle of the sea on board the Seventh Goddess, with Luca and the other Friends, was a unique experience ... that I would repeat every day! In the eyes the sun and the Aegean Blue, in the ears the voice of the wind and the sails that has caressed with strength and in the soul the close Friendship with Special people! Thanks to all the crew and thanks Luca... to be redone as soon as possible!

Luca is a great skipper. A helpful, smart, fun person to spend a week on the boat with (and a great fork). The holiday is spent in great relaxation. He will pass on the passion for the Aegean Sea that he knows very well. If you want to participate in the maneuvers and / or go for a jog at dawn to dispose of one of the many dinners in the tavern there will be no problem! highly recommended
