The Dodecanese island complex is located at the southeastern part of Greece. It is the crossing point of sea, sun and strong winds that allure all senses and offer visitors unique experiences.
As the sea-songs praise earthly heavens, you reach Lipsi, an island with white, sandy beaches and Leros, with the deep, leeward, natural harbours, home of Artemis, ancient goddess of hunting. The waves then, lead you to Kalymnos, the 'island of sponges'.
Light and colours are never enough, as you reach Kos, island of Hippocrates, father of medicine and set anchor at its perfectly structured marina. Mountains Dikaio and Simbatro, add to the versatility of the landscape. The 'colourful Dodecanese painting' continues to awaken all senses at the sight of the black rocks of Nissyros, contradicting the white houses with the vividly coloured doors and windows.
The journey continues at the delicate beaches, little coves and crystal clear waters of Tilos, Symi and Halki. The breathtaking view makes you believe that mermaids will come and whisper to you songs and tales from the sea.
Time stops as you become part of history at Rhodes, the 'island of Knights'. Anchoring at the Mandraki marina, you realize that past and present are in perfect harmony with the island's beauty. Next you stop at the border island of Kastelorizo, where the soul becalms. Onwards, you sail to the little harbours at the island of Karpathos. There, you are fascinated by the contrasting mountains, valleys, flatlands, coves and endless beaches.
The nautical promenade goes on in the Dodecanese, when suddenly your eyes are caught by the rocky island of Kassos. Approaching the island of Astypalaia, you are instantly amazed by its spectacular figure. The beautiful images of the Venetian castle and the white settlements certify that true splendour is timeless. Into the blue of the sea and sky, you shall find the island of Patmos. Docking at the port, located in a secure bay, you will be seduced by the wonderful pebbled beaches shining under the bright sun.
The Dodecanese complex is an imagery of exceptional brilliance. A nautical route set directly to your heart and soul.
