Our itinerary

Departure from Samos: A Jewel of the Aegean
We start our journey from Samos, a verdant island with a rich history and traditions. We will visit the monastery of Agios Nikolaos, with its inlaid wooden iconostasis, and the archaeological site of Heraion, one of the most important sanctuaries of ancient Greece.

To the Smaller Islands: A Hidden Paradise
We leave Samos and head towards the smaller islands of the Dodecanese, real hidden gems.
Fourni: A quiet island with picturesque villages, sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.
Ikaria: Famous for its long-lived residents, Ikaria offers a laid-back atmosphere and a lively nightlife.
Patmos: The island of the Apocalypse, with the cave where St. John is believed to have written the book of Revelation and the monastery of St. John the Theologian, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Arki: An unspoiled island with secluded bays and turquoise waters, ideal for snorkeling and diving.
Lipsi: A little gem with white houses and blue roofs, perfect for a relaxing stroll through the old town.
Leros: An island with a rich naval history, with Venetian fortifications and an authentic atmosphere.
Levite: A small uninhabited island, a paradise for nature lovers.

Astypalea: The Dodecanese Butterfly
Our final destination is Astypalea, also called the Dodecanese Butterfly for its distinctive butterfly shape and its white villages perched on the cliffs. We will explore Chora, the Venetian castle, and hidden beaches.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

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
