Whether you choose to travel on the north or the south side, you will get to discover the captivating experience of sailing in the Aegean firsthand. The Dodecanese islands offer excellent cruising waters and clear seas. On the south side, the capital of the Dodecanese and popular island of Rhodes, is considered one of Greece’s top destinations and offers exceptional sailing routes.

The alternative island of Nisyros is truly worth your while, as it offers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of walking on an actual volcano crater. The enchanting Symi is known for sailing or yachting trips as most  beaches can only be reached by boat. The charming islands of Tilos and Halki have managed to fly under the radar and do not attract the masses of tourists like other Greek Islands. Same applies to Kastellorizo on the easternmost tip of Greece, a remote tiny island away from the tourist crowds.

On the other side, visiting Kalymnos, Pserimos and Platy is a must! The crystal clear waters of Leros, Leipsoi, Patmos and all their neighbouring islands are truly mesmerising. Sailing to Astypalaia is yet another opportunity to take pleasure in the Aegean's pristine seas. And these few recommendations are just the beginning. Skilled sailors make their own routes. And when you decide to start from Kos marina, the sky's the limit!
