This trip gives you the opportunity to experience a pleasant mix of relaxation, adventure and sport during a one-week sailing trip through the "Dodecanese", eastern Greece, south of Kos. Ideally, we should arrive by flight so that we meet at midday on Saturday. We buy food and drinks together at the local supermarket and stow them away at around 15:00 when we are handed over the boat by the charter company. This is followed by a safety briefing. Depending on the group's energy and wishes, we either set sail that evening to spend the night in a quiet bay nearby or have a leisurely meal in a harbor restaurant before setting off the next morning. Our route will include around 3-5 hours of sailing each day, depending on the weather and wind conditions. Stopovers to explore small bays or places are possible and depend on the preferences of the group. You should definitely be seaworthy, but do not need any sailing experience. We can steer and operate the boat on our own, but support under supervision makes it easier and more relaxed.

This private, non-commercial trip is organized and guided by my wife Corinna and myself Marc. We are both 36 years old and are generally active, fun-loving and courageous people. My wife has an SKS sailing license, but we both have several years of comparable sailing experience. We are both non-smokers and strictly only take non-smokers with us. We don't drink alcohol, but we tolerate it if our fellow sailors want to drink it in moderation.

We spend the night on the sailing yacht during the week. Each of the three cabins offers space for two people in a double bed. There is a shared bathroom on the yacht and we sometimes cook on the boat and sometimes go out to eat in restaurants. We prefer a balanced mix of overnight stays in harbors as well as in bays. You have to be aware that you can have a certain exclusive solitude in bays, which is also associated with the fact that the electricity on board is limited and there is no shore shower/toilet. The sanitary facilities and general comfort on board are comparable to those of an upmarket motorhome. When we moor in harbors for the night, we also sleep on the boat, but there are restaurants for eating out and sanitary facilities available.

Trip Itinerary
1

Kos island marina

Day 1-2
Here is After taking over the boat and provisioning in the well-equipped Kos marina, we set off along the south coast. Our destination is Kardamena, a lively town with bars, tavernas and beaches. The small harbor offers plenty of space for yachts and is located directly on the promenade. A stroll through the town or a first dinner by the water is the perfect way to start the week.
2

Pali

Day 2-3
A pleasant south-easterly swing takes you to the volcanic island of Nisyros, where you moor in the cozy port of Pali - smaller, quieter and more charming than the main village of Mandraki. From the harbor, you can reach hot springs and small tavernas on foot. We highly recommend a trip to the impressive "Stefanos" crater - by scooter or cab - with its steaming crevices and sulphur-yellow soil.
3

Livadia

Day 3-4
Today we head south to Tilos, a quieter island with a more authentic character. The port of Livadia is small but well-kept and offers electricity, water and a few tavernas in the immediate vicinity. A special experience is the hike to the deserted village of Mikro Chorio, which is illuminated at night - with a ruined bar in the middle of old stone houses. Ideal for anyone looking for seclusion and authenticity.
4

Panormitis

Day 4-6
You sail south-east to the quiet monastery bay of Panormitis on the south-west coast of Rhodes. The deeply indented bay is well protected, with good mooring possibilities for anchors and enough space for several yachts. On land, the famous monastery of St. Michael the Archangel awaits you, a place of pilgrimage with a special atmosphere. Tip: Visit the monastery in the early morning or evening - it is particularly quiet then.
5

Sakarcilar Ada

Day 6-7
An extraordinary destination awaits: The uninhabited volcanic island of Yiali is an insider tip. You drop anchor in turquoise-blue water in front of a black volcanic sand beach. No houses, no people - pure solitude. Ideal for a long day of swimming, snorkeling and absolute peace and quiet. As there are no catering facilities, you should cook on board. An ideal place to switch off and unwind - almost like being on another planet.
6

Kefalos

Day 7-8
Today we head back towards Kos, heading for Kefalos in the west of the island. There you can either moor in the small harbor pier or anchor in the beautiful Agios Stefanos Bay - directly in front of the small chapel and with a view of the island of Kastri. Particularly attractive: snorkeling over the remains of ancient walls in the water. The long sandy beach invites you to relax, with tavernas and cafés within walking distance.

Kos island marina

Day 8
The last stroke takes you along the north coast back to Kos Marina. With a bit of luck, dolphins will accompany you on the way. Depending on the wind conditions, you can stop for a swim at Pserimos or in a small bay near Tigaki, for example. Once you arrive at the marina, you can refuel, clear the boat and round off the trip with a last dinner in the old town of Kos - near the ancient Agora.
