The Dodecanese lie against the Turkish coast, far from Athens and long fought over ’ Knights Hospitaller, Ottomans, Italians and finally Greeks, who only took possession in 1947. The architecture records every one of them.
They are also a genuine sailing ground. The meltemi funnels down between the islands, the passages are longer than in the Cyclades, and the anchorages are correspondingly less crowded. Rhodes and Kos aside, most visitors never come.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Dodecanese; the rest we tailor to you.
