The Greek Islands land and sea Our sailing grounds encompass the area of the Dodecanese Islands north of Kalymnos and South of Patmos. The winds that we can expect are pretty steady as sailing winds go, and so we have some routes that will allow us to take in a number of the island group. As a compliment to your sailing holiday, We suggest that you stay one or two days on land before your sailing holiday begins. Possibly visit the very interesting old fortress town (a midevial maze) of RHODES, (it is easiest to get flights in to Rhodes and carry on from there by the Island Catamaran Service Dodecanese Express" the next day) or stay on a smaller island and give yourself the chance to get into Greek mode and island life and also recover from jet-lag before you come aboard. We will be sailing among the islands of Patmos, Samos, Agathonissi, Arki, Lipsi and Leros following your island stay. You could choose to stay at an island following your sailing holiday as well. Find out what you have been missing... We hope that everyone that joins our trips will do just this. **************************************************************************** You could choose to stay at an island following your sailing holiday as well. We hope that everyone that joins our trips will do just this. A TASTE OF LEROS Leros is a very simple and very tipical island where normal, not tourist, life goes along quite happily all year 'round. You might choose to stay here before or after your cruise to get to know our "home base". There are a number of small hotels on the shore, or inland, which will make your stay on land a pleasant compliment to your sailing holiday.
It is strongly recommended to have at least one night land stay for jet-lag recovery before we depart so that you will be alert for the first day orientation.
If you would like to have an extended island stay, there are very nice locations on Samos, Leros, Lipsos, Santorini and Marathi, each a very unique island offering very different Greek lifestyles, from cosmopolotian to the simplest of Greek island and village life.
Take for example, Marathi, a tiny,tiny island...
Begin your holiday in Greece with a stay on this tiny remote island where one family has lived for at least 3 generations. It takes a little longer to get here, but it is well worth the relaxation. Your best bet is to fly to Samos where you will take a hydrofoil to Lipsi, then be picked up by a private boat. We can make these arrangements for you.
Spend three or more days in isolation in one of Marathi's small B&Bs. Swim off the beach, snorkel, take a walk around the island (in all about 2 miles).
Join the return clients from all over Europe at the taverna of the owner of the island for conversation. The evenings often get quite lively with talk, music and dance.
Mahalis & Dimitri, or down the beach at Stavros' rooms, all charges around $35-$40US, A bargain, considering that something similar in the Caribbean would cost over $200!
This island stay is intended for those who want true relaxation. Slow down and become a little Greek.
