Gulet cruise in Turkey and Dodecanese islands

Embarkation is available from 16:30 at the Port of Bodrum, where the crew will welcome you aboard the gulet and assign cabins. Your gulet will remain anchored in Bodrum overnight, so you will have plenty of free time to visit the town's main attractions and have dinner in one of the excellent local restaurants.

After breakfast, while the crew takes care of the last customs formalities for departure, we are ready to set sail in the direction of Kos. Lunch will be served on board and once you reach the island you will have the option of disembarking: for those who wish, you can join the tour (on request) of the village of Asclepeion and Zia, otherwise you can visit the town on your own. Otherwise, if you prefer enjoying the sun and sea, you can relax on board.

This morning we cast off our moorings very early to reach the famous bay of Xirokampos on the southern coast of the island of Leros. Here we spend the morning between relaxing dips and baths and have lunch on board with a view of its beautiful beach. In the early afternoon we move to Lakki or Agia, depending on the weather and sea conditions, to moor in the harbour and go ashore. From the small port of Agia two roads lead to Platanos, the centre of the island, which can be reached on foot with a walk of about 1 km through its steep stairs, narrow streets and flower gardens. For dinner, you can stop at one of the typical small restaurants in the centre and return on board for an overnight stay.

With the first light of morning, we will leave Leros and head for Patmos, one of the smallest but most famous islands of the Dodecanese. We will stop for a few dips and dives in the beautiful blue waters of a bay around the island and have breakfast. After lunch in Bodo, in the afternoon you can choose to go ashore and join a tour of the Monastery of St John and the Cave of the Apocalypse, two attractions that are definitely worth a visit. We will spend the night in the port of Patmos.

Today we are heading for the island of Lipsi. During navigation we will make a short stop at one of the small islets in front of Lipsi. Once we reach our destination, we will drop anchor right in front of one of its magnificent beaches lapped by crystal-clear waters, such as Platis Giolis. The centre of the town, with its whitewashed houses and a beautiful square with cafes, taverns and restaurants, is located in a small natural harbour on the island. We recommend going ashore to visit the beautiful churches of Catopanaghia and Panopanaghia. 

After breakfast we leave Lipsi to reach Kalymnos, where we will spend the first half of the day relaxing in one of its beautiful bays. In the afternoon, after lunch in the roadstead, we will head to the port of Pothis, which is the centre of the island: the entrance from the sea is particularly impressive due to the white and pastel-coloured houses, contrasting with the hard grey stone of the island. 

This morning we will sail back into Turkish waters: our first stop will be Akvaryum Koyu, the aquarium bay, where fish will accompany you as you swim in the crystal-clear waters. We will spend the last day at sea at this wonderful beach, and then return to Bodrum harbour. This evening, the Captain's Dinner will be served on board the gulet.

Disembarkation is scheduled for 10 a.m., after the last breakfast on board.
