Itinerary: Samos - Fourni - Patmos - Archangel - Leros - Plati - Kos
Samos is an island of a thousand colors where you can smell the scent of wild orchids in the air and at the table you can taste some of the best Greek wines. It is a place considered mythical, it is said that Zeus's wife, Hera, was born here.
Furthermore, the earth is home to the mathematician Pythagoras, the philosopher Epicurus and the astronomer Aristarchus. It was a source of inspiration for Aesop because every village of Samos is full of stories and legends.
In Samos, we cannot miss the opportunity to see the Eupalinos Tunnel, a feat of arduous engineering unique in the world. The architect hired by the tyrant Polycrates, created it 2600 years ago to be able to bring water to the ancient city of Samos.
Our journey will start from Phytagorion on Monday morning sailing close to the southern coasts of the island until we reach Samiopoula , a rock that encloses a bay with a phosphorescent blue sea in front of a very white beach.
Tuesday morning route to Fourni , a small archipelago whose major islands are Fourni, Korseon, Agios Minas and Thymaina, the only inhabited ones out of a total of about 10 islets whose surface does not reach more than a few tens of square kilometres. They are almost unknown places, where nature reigns supreme , between spectacular coasts overlooking the sea, low Mediterranean vegetation and small bays.
16 miles offshore towards South-South-East and we will land in Patmos for a walk along the old mule track that leads to the beautiful Chora and a mandatory visit to the monastery of San Giovanni. Here on the island the evangelist wrote the Apocalypse and it is for this reason that today Patmos is one of the most important religious centers in all of Greece.
A little more than 10 miles from Skala in a south-easterly direction we will anchor in one of the most spectacular bays of the northern Dodecanese: the "Caribbean" bay of Archangelo north of Leros .
A few miles further south we will find close to the Lakki fjord where in the evening we will be guests in the delightful "Petrino" tavern which offers exquisite mixed roast meats.
Driven by the Meltemi on Friday morning after a stop in the narrow bay of Ormos Plalionissou we will turn to the mooring lines in the port of Kalimnos , the island of sponges.
Saturday morning, 5 nautical miles to the east, we will anchor on the south-eastern side of the islet of Plati , a paradise of golden rocks and blue waters where you can take regenerating swims. In the afternoon, before sunset, we will reach Kos with its minarets and imposing fortress which recall the Turkish occupation. In the evening dinner in one of the most delicious Greek taverns managed by our friend Elias.

Sailboat registered for professional tourist transport by the Greek authorities and has passed all the stability and safety tests required by the ministry of navigation.
The 43 Classic from the Dufour shipyard is a 13.10 meter boat, produced by one of the best French boat builders, ideal for sailing cruises with skipper in Greece. Comfortable and solidly built, it is the right solution to spend a pleasant and relaxing sailing holiday among the islands of the Aegean Sea.
You can choose to participate in two (cabin charter) or in a group up to a maximum of 8 people.
The boat has 4 comfortable and welcoming double cabins, two in the bow, one with bunk beds and two in the stern. They are all spacious and bright, which allows you to experience an exciting holiday full of adventure without sacrificing comfort. The cabins are equipped with spacious wardrobes and storage shelves, there are also sockets for recharging low-consumption devices (mobile phones, cameras, video cameras, etc.).
The interiors are built in mahogany and the living area consists of a spacious and comfortable dinette with a large table on the right that can comfortably accommodate eight people. The in-line kitchen on the left, with a large work surface, allows the preparation of dishes in complete comfort.
Designed by the Mortain & Mavrikios Yacht Design studio, it has a clean and balanced hull with slender water lines that make it a very performing hull even in light winds.
The linear, clean and spacious deck allows you to lie down comfortably in the sun, the cockpit has a table for eating outside sheltered from the sun thanks to a large awning under which you can always enjoy the breeze blown by the Meltemi.
The boat also has two large bathrooms, a shower and hot water. In addition, outside on the stern platform there is an external shower to be able to rinse off the salt when leaving the sea. A sup, available to the crew, will allow us to go on excursions in the bays we will visit. The hi-fi stereo system, with a dedicated HD and internal and external speakers, allows for the reproduction of music tracks from mp3 players and mobile phones.

NB: You go on board according to the rules in force in Greece at the time of embarkation, I am always available for clarification on the matter.
- How to get there: the islands where I embark and disembark are easily reached by flights and ferries. I am available for information on the matter, just click on the "contact the skipper" button.
- Advice on what to bring: it's a sailing holiday, so easy to stow soft luggage, swimsuits, t-shirts, jeans, a bomber-type waterproof jacket, a sweatshirt or sweater for cooler evenings
- EXTRA expenses: all meals and drinks consumed on land and on the boat are not included in the fees, these costs are usually around € 150/200 pp / week and will be managed with a common fund.
- Trips to and from the ports of embarkation and disembarkation and land excursions are not included, if any.
- While for the costs of the ports, fuel, water supplies for the boat, a flat rate of 35€pp/week will be paid at the time of embarkation. For a boat for exclusive use it is €200 per boat/week.
- We recommend taking out personal accident insurance.
- Organization of the galley: the galley will take place on the evening of embarkation, when possible, and will be shared with all the cruise participants.
- Roles on board: all crew members can participate in maneuvers and at the rudder, help during mooring and when setting sail is always welcome. The Aegean Sea is a beautiful sea and at the same time, due to the Meltemi, a difficult sea to navigate. There may be sporty navigations with some waves that will wet the deck and for this reason, sometimes, the itineraries may be subject to modification at the skipper's unquestionable decision, safety and comfort are always in first place.
As for the meals on board, the tasks will be divided, considering that I will be happy to cook some dishes of my land for you.
- Special requests: pets are not allowed on board. For embarkation of children it is advisable to ask first, also for the type of navigation that will be faced during the cruise.
