Description

Day 1 (SAT): BOARD IN BODRUM
Boarding starts by 15:30 from Bodrum Harbor.

On the first day, our boat will remain anchored in Bodrum Port for dinner and an overnight stay.

Bodrum has a history that goes back to the 12th century B.C. The city which was called ‘Halicarnassus’ was the birthplace of Herodotus; the ‘Father of History’ who lived in the 5th century B.C. The ‘Mausoleum’ of King Mausolus (350 B.C.) one of the Seven Wonders of the World is in this city.

The only structure that survived from the Classical Era is the Amphitheatre. It is one of the oldest theatres in Anatolia with a capacity of 13.000 guests and it is still hosting many shows and concerts for the art-lovers of Bodrum.

Another place that you should visit when you arrive in Bodrum is the landmark of the city, the ‘Castle of Saint Peter’. It is one of the best preserved pieces of architecture with a history dating back to the Middle Ages. ‘Myndos Gate’ through which Alexander the Great entered Halicarnassus is another place that you should not miss.

Day 2 (SUN): KOS
Following the breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and the boat.

After the customs formalities are completed, we will cruise to Kos Island. Asclepion, known to be the birthplace of Hippocrates, who is ‘the Father of Medical Sciences’, is located here. All the people from the east Mediterranean with health problems were treated in Kos.

Kos is the second largest island of the 12 islands (the Dodecanese Islands) has a very mild climate and very fertile lands. The island houses a 560-year-old tree, a 211-year-old fountain and a 290 km long beach.

You may take a quick swim in Lambi Beach which is very close to Kos Harbor. Kos is one of the islands with the best nightlife. Nafklirou, a street full of bars, is always crowded, colorful, and full of life.

You may join our optional Asclepion & Zia Village tours or you may also explore the city by yourself.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at Kos harbor.

Day 3 (MON): LEROS
We will start to cruise early in the morning to Pserimos Island for breakfast and a swimming break.

Then we will cruise to the beautiful island of Leros. Leros is a mountainous, green island with high cliffs and many small bays and villages.

After lunch and a swimming break in Xerakampos, we will anchor at Lakki Harbour or Agia Marina Port located in the east.

You should visit Platanos the main city of Leros with steep stairs, narrow streets, and flower gardens. From Platanos you can take the steps leading up the Castle of Leros climbing 300 steps! Rent a bike or explore this island on foot.

We will anchor in Panteli, located in the East, for the dinner and the overnight.

Day 4 (TUE): PATMOS
We will cruise to Patmos Island early in the morning. We will have a swimming break in a bay around the island.

Patmos is not a big island, but it is one of the best known. It was here that St. John completed the last part of ‘The Apocalypse of John’, and this is why Patmos is sometimes called “The Jerusalem of the Aegean”.

The Monastery of St. John’s towers above the capital, a village called Chora, and actually the whole island breathes of faith and devotion. According to mythology, Patmos was a present from Zeus to his daughter Artemis, goddess of hunting and young women. She was worshipped here in antiquity, and the monastery of St. John was built on her temple.

You may join an optional St. John Monastery and Apocalypse Cave tour.

Our yacht will stay in Patmos Port for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 5 (WED): LIPSI
We will set sail to Lipsi Island. We will have a swimming break in one of the many small islands in front of Lipsi.

On Lipsi Island there are beautiful sandy beaches, like Platis and Giolos with their crystal green waters.

The capital with its white houses, numerous taverns, cafeterias and restaurants is located in the small natural port. On the island, the Church of the Catopanaghia constructed in the 7th century deserves a visit, along with the Church of Panopanaghia from the 15th century.

Dinner and overnight stay will be in Lipsi.

Day 6 (THU): KALYMNOS
We will take a swimming break in a beautiful bay around Kalymnos Island. We are going to enter Pothia Harbor which is the capital of the island.

The islanders ensured their livelihood with sponge diving for centuries. There are nice beaches such as Massouri, Mirties and Vlyhadia around the island.
