Departing from Kos Town, we'll sail along the east coast of Kalymnos, the mythical island of sponge fishermen who, since ancient times, set off every spring amidst many celebrations to go sponge fishing in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Today it is a climber's paradise due to the presence of mountains and rock walls overlooking the sea. The island is a succession of fjords and small solitary bays where we will stop to immerse ourselves in the waters of all shades of blue and green. The final destination of the day is the Palionisos fjord where we will sleep at the buoy with dinner at the restaurant overlooking the bay.

We will continue upwind towards the northern tip of the island, stopping along the way at one of the most beautiful bays in Kalymnos where we can snorkel, sunbathe on the white pebble beach and climb the mountain to enjoy the magnificent view of the bay. We will then skirt the east side of Leros to reach the tiny island of Arkangelos, for swimming, sunset walk, dinner on the boat and night at anchor.

Departure to reach Macronisi and Micronisi, a pair of rocks in the middle of the sea where the water is bluer for bathing, diving and diving. After lunch, it's on to Lipsi, the island of oblivion. Here it is easy to get lost in the wonderful bays and slow living. Lipsi is a small pearl, the perfect island, famous for the beauty of its beaches and almost lush hinterland, dotted with churches and fields. The harbour full of fishing boats offers a beautiful view of the village with its white and blue houses dominated by the church of San Giovanni teologo. We will sleep at anchor under the stars with dinner on the boat or at the restaurant.

The two islands form asmall archipelago north of Lipsi, full of coves and shallow waters for snorkeling, swimming and relaxation. We will drop anchor for a swim in the turquoise lagoon and then sleep either at anchor in one of the bays with dinner on the boat or at the restaurant if we moor at the buoy in Maratho.

The most Greek and everyday of the islands, rich in history and tradition. Leros has its own identity. Here tourism plays a marginal role and instead you can breathe an all-Greek everyday life. In Porto Lago, modernist architecture projects us into a painting by De Chirico. We will stop for food and lunch, then continue to the bay of Emborios in Kalymnos where we will sleep at anchor.

set sail for Telendos, a very small island with very high rocks overlooking the sea, breathtaking views and beaches that we will reach after a nice walk in the Mediterranean scrub among the archaeological ruins. We will continue to Nera, a private micro-island inhabited only by Stavros and Evangelia to admire the beautiful seabed. We will continue to Pserimos, one of the very few islands with sandy beaches. Very small and with less than 50 inhabitants, it boasts a single village and bays with crystal clear waters. We will spend the night at anchor with the possibility of dinner on the boat or at the restaurant in the village that can be reached on foot in 35 minutes.
