Gulet cruise: Dodecanese from Rhodes, Greece

Embarkation is scheduled from 16:00 at the Marina of Rhodes New. The crew will welcome you on board the gulet and take care of cabin assignments. Dinner and overnight stay on board.

Late in the morning, once the customs formalities have been dealt with, we cast off our moorings in the direction of Symi, often considered one of the pearls of the Dodecanese. We will drop anchor in Nanou Bay, a wide bay backed by high cliffs and washed by clear waters, perfect for snorkelling. In the late afternoon we will resume sailing to the small port of Symi: be ready with your camera in hand to capture the wonderful view of the village. Dinner on board.

This morning we will leave the port of Symi immediately after having breakfast on board. Just in time for lunchtime we will reach St. George Bay or another of the beautiful coves on the east coast of Symi. Here you can relax and enjoy the sea, before departing in the afternoon for Panormitis in the south of the island. You will have the opportunity to go down to visit the Orthodox monastery of St Michael the Archangel of Panormitis, built in the 18th century and still inhabited by monks. Should weather conditions not permit, we will head to Pedi. Dinner on board and overnight stay in the roadstead.

After a hearty breakfast and a refreshing dip, we set sail for Tilos. Surrounded by high, rocky mountains, jagged coastlines and beaches washed by a transparent sea, which over time has created suggestive caves, Tilos offers breathtaking views. We spend the morning in the bay of Akrogiali, before entering the island's main port in the afternoon. You can then go ashore and explore the small town centre. For the more adventurous, you can visit the abandoned village of Mikro Chorio, located in the middle of the island but easily accessible by taxi. Overnight stay in the harbour.

Today we will sail to Chalki, a beautiful island north-west of Rhodes. Depending on the weather and sea conditions, we will decide whether to set sail before or after breakfast, by 10:00 am. Chalki, far from mass tourism, is very quaint and has retained its charm and tranquillity. We spend the day in Trachia Bay or in one of the beautiful bays in the south of the island. In the late afternoon around 16:00 we will move to the island's only marina. Here you can go ashore for a walk through the narrow streets full of cafes and local restaurants, until you reach the beautiful little church in the centre. Dinner and overnight on board.

Once again this morning we will set off before breakfast, which will be served while sailing, to reach the island of Rhodes. Weather permitting, we will drop anchor in the beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay: the beach is named after the actor, who bought it during the filming of 'Zorba the Greek'. Later we will move on to Kallithea, where we will spend the rest of the day. Dinner and overnight stay.

Last day of sailing. In the late morning, after a good breakfast and the last dips, we will return to the marina in Rhodes New with a short sail. Free day to visit one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world and a UNESCO cultural heritage site. Dinner and overnight stay in Rhodes New Marina.

Disembarkation is expected by 09:00, after the last breakfast on board.
