Day 1

Rhodes

Start your journey from Rhodes, the largest island in the Dodecanese. Wander through the medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its ancient walls, cobbled streets, and the grand Palace of the Grand Master. Enjoy a sunset dinner near Mandraki Harbour before overnighting on board.

Day 2

Symi

A short cruise brings you to Symi, one of Greece’s prettiest harbors. Colorful neoclassical houses line the hills, and the pace is slow and elegant. Stroll the charming waterfront, visit the Monastery of Archangel Michael Panormitis, and swim in crystal coves only accessible by yacht.

Day 3

Tilos

Tilos offers something different — untouched and quiet. Anchor off a secluded beach like Eristos or Agios Antonios for a day of peaceful swimming, paddleboarding, or hiking along the green hills dotted with wildflowers and tiny chapels.

Day 4

Nisyros

Sail to Nisyros, a volcanic island with a unique lunar landscape. Visit the crater of Stefanos volcano and wander the alleys of the whitewashed village of Nikia, perched on the rim. In the evening, soak in the natural hot springs or enjoy fresh seafood in a local taverna.

Day 5

Kos

Arrive in lively Kos. Visit the Asklepion ruins (birthplace of Hippocrates), then enjoy the mix of ancient Greek, Roman, and Ottoman architecture in the town. Spend the afternoon biking along the palm-lined promenade or relaxing on sandy beaches.

Day 6

Leros

Cruise to Leros, a quiet island with a mix of neoclassical charm and WWII history. Visit the castle of Pandeli for panoramic views, swim in Agia Marina bay, and enjoy a laid-back dinner under the stars in the fishing village of Panteli.
