GULET CHARTER – KOS & THE DODECANESE ISLANDS

Sail around the beautiful Northern Dodecanese Islands, which are dotted across the Aegean Sea like stepping stones through the crystal-clear waters. Just a short hop between islands minimises time on the open sea and maximises time exploring the tranquil coastline and at anchor for swimming and snorkelling.

Each island has its own character, as you will discover, from wooded Leros, to castellated Patmos and volcanic Nisiros. Everywhere you go will contrast with where you have been yet you will retain the constant of a wonderful and characterful floating home on your gentle peregrinations through the archipelago.

Sample the delicious traditional Greek fare on Patmos and Kalimnos in particular, not forgetting the sumptuous meals prepared for you on board by your private cook while your captain finds the perfect evening anchorage for a peaceful night's repose.

Please note guideline prices are subject to gulet availability and the size and standard of vessel you require.
