About Our Service in the Northern Dodecanese
Embarking from Rhodes, this 7-day sailing itinerary explores some of the most storied and naturally stunning islands in the Northern Dodecanese. Blending dramatic coastal scenery with rich cultural heritage, your days will be filled with tranquil swims, harbor-side strolls, and visits to ancient sites—each experience elevated by warm hospitality and bespoke service aboard your private crewed catamaran. Day 1: Rhodes – Symi (23 NM)
Set sail from Marina Rhodes toward the breathtaking island of Symi. Along the way, enjoy a swim stop at Agios Georgios Disalonas, one of the most photographed fjord-style bays in Greece. Upon arrival, explore Gialos Town with its pastel mansions and neoclassical charm. Visit the sacred Monastery of Archangel Michael Panormitis or simply indulge in a candlelit dinner by the waterfront. Day 2: Symi – Tilos (25 NM)
Cruise north to Tilos, a quiet island known for its serene beaches and mysterious ghost village of Micro Chorio. Drop anchor at Livadia and choose between hiking ancient footpaths dotted with Byzantine chapels or lounging at the wide stretch of Eristos Beach. Day 3: Tilos – Nisyros (20 NM)
Next, voyage to the volcanic island of Nisyros. Step into the alien landscape of the Stefanos crater and explore the charming village of Nikia, perched on the rim of the caldera. Nisyros delivers a truly unique island experience—a harmonious mix of geology, history, and tradition. Day 4: Nisyros – Kos (20 NM)
Sail to the energetic island of Kos, where ancient ruins meet beachside modernity. Dock at Kos Marina and visit the Castle of the Knights or the Roman Odeon. Active guests may choose to explore by bicycle before settling in for a lively evening among the town’s chic cafés and tavernas. Day 5: Kos – Kalymnos (20 NM)
Sail further north to Kalymnos, a legendary sponge-diving destination known today for its climbing cliffs and scenic bays. Drop anchor in Pothia or Vlychadia and explore the Sponge Museum, take a coastal hike, or enjoy snorkeling in translucent waters. Day 6: Kalymnos – Leros (20 NM)
Today brings you to Leros, an overlooked gem with pine-covered hills and hidden coves. Visit the Castle of Panagia, wander through Agia Marina or Panteli, and sample exquisite local cuisine at traditional taverns. The island also holds a fascinating wartime legacy for history lovers to explore. Day 7: Leros – Rhodes (52 NM)
Begin the return sail to Rhodes with the option of a final swim at Alimia Islet or the tiny island of Chalki. Back at Marina Rhodes, enjoy your final night soaking up the medieval aura of Rhodes Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. About Our Yacht – Lagoon 51
