Greek Islands

Sail through the iconic Aegean islands with their white-washed villages.

The Greek Islands of the Dodecanese, located in the southeastern Aegean Sea near Turkey’s coastline, offer an enchanting blend of Greek and Turkish influences, creating a unique cultural experience for visitors. This island chain includes popular destinations like Rhodes, Kos, and Symi, each with its own distinct character and allure.

Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, captivates visitors with its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site enclosed by impressive ancient walls. The Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master showcase the island’s rich history as a stronghold of the Knights of St. John. Beyond its historical treasures, Rhodes offers beautiful beaches, picturesque villages, and vibrant nightlife.

Smaller islands like Symi charm visitors with their neoclassical architecture and colorful harbors. The approach to Symi by sea reveals one of the most beautiful port scenes in Greece, with pastel-colored neoclassical houses cascading down the hillsides toward the harbor.

For sailing enthusiasts, the Dodecanese islands provide ideal cruising conditions with predictable winds, short sailing distances between islands, and numerous protected anchorages. Island-hopping by yacht allows visitors to discover hidden coves, pristine beaches, and authentic tavernas away from the tourist crowds.
