7-day Northern Route – Dodecanese islands, Greece

A sailing trip along the Dodecanese islands of Greece departing and returning from Kos, along Kalimnos, Lipsi, Patmos, Arkoi, and Leros.

A beautiful cruising area are the northern Dodecanese islands. In true SeaScape style, we stay away from the busier “touristy” spots. We visit islands like Patmos, where St. John wrote the Book of Revelations; next-door neighbour, Lipsi, which boasts at least 52 blue-domed churches, whilst the tiny paradise-island of Marathos just next to Arkoi is home to just three families.

Mentioned islands are indicative, as the routes we plan and the islands we visit always depend on sailing conditions dictated to us by the Greek gods Poseidon and Aeolus. As true SeaScapers we always make sure you’ll have the trip of a lifetime.

Best time to sail

May – October are the best months to sail along the Dodecanese islands of Greece.

For those who like a little adreline with their sailing, the midsummer months have the strongest winds: 25knots or so on average. It tends to be a little mellower in the early and late season. Even if you never sailed before, you could join any month really. There is no such thing as beginner months or intermediate / advanced months. From late May-Oct, it’s pretty much guaranteed sun, sun and more sun – once again, a perfect yachties’ playground!
