Unforgettable yachting holidays in Dodecanese area
The Dodecanese delivers blue water sailing, island variety, and steady summer Meltemi. Main bases are Kos and Rhodes. Legs run medium to long with open fetch. Plan early starts and seek lee anchorages in stronger wind. Families sail spring, early summer, and autumn for gentler conditions.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We handle routes, moorings, fuel, and briefings. Guidance includes traffic schemes, no-anchor zones, and fallback harbors. Book berths in high season and target arrivals by mid-afternoon.

What you can expect to see
Rhodes and Symi
Rhodes offers full service in Rhodes Marina and Mandraki. Walk the UNESCO Old Town before departure. Symi’s Gialos harbor is scenic and busy, lines ashore help in gusts. For quiet water, anchor in Pedi or Panormitis with good holding in sand. Plan swim stops on the south side in settled weather and return to shelter before the breeze builds.
Kos, Nisyros, and Tilos
Kos Marina gives fuel, water, and provisioning near the quay. Head to Nisyros to visit the volcanic caldera, with moorings in Pali and Mandraki. Sand pockets hold well, check depth at the entrance. Tilos’ Livadia offers a calm town quay and simple services. The channel between these islands funnels wind, reef early and keep speeds conservative.
Patmos, Leros, and Lipsi
Patmos centers on Skala, with katabatic puffs at night, extra scope helps. Visit the Monastery of St John and the Cave of the Apocalypse. Leros has excellent shelter in Lakki and a well-run marina. Kalymnos lies close with Pothia for a lively stop and sponge heritage. Lipsi adds quiet anchorages such as Katsadia, clear water, and easy shore access for dinner.
