CHARTER OUR FAVORITE ITINERARIES... IN THE MEDITERRANEAN

The Mediterranean is a land of legends and passions, which has always given a good deal to sailors. This sea offers a unique and grandiose playground, with destinations as different as they are beautiful. From Corsica to the Balearics, via Sicily, Croatia, Greece and of course Turkey, one lifetime is not enough to discover it completely. Moreover, all the major catamaran charter companies have numerous bases spread along the archipelagos, to allow you to enjoy them to full advantage. The conditions here can be tough, with a (very) strong wind in summer (the Meltemi in Greece), and violent storms in winter. The season here is shorter (from April until the end of October), but on each cruise, you will discover a new facet of a thousand-year-old culture, a fabulous tavern or a sumptuous panorama. You will have understood – we love it!

ITINERARY IN GREECE - DODECANESE

The cruising area extends from Patmos in the north, to the large island of Rhodes in the south. Between the two big islands, you will of course find the islands of Leros, Kalymnos, Kos (the other major departure base, along with Rhodes), Nisiros, or Tilos. But it would be a shame not to plan a few stopovers in the absolutely wonderful smaller islands, such as Arki or Lipsi, in the north of the archipelago...

Day 1: Arrival on the island of Kos – briefing and departure for Kalymnos.
Day 2: Leros
Day 3: Lipsos
Day 4: Arki

Day 6: Pserimos
Day 7: Return to Kos. You can also leave from Rhodes, and sail up the string of islands.

To discover the magic of the little Greek tavernas and the beauty of the anchorages, certain of which are worthy of the most beautiful Polynesian lagoons. An area to (re)discover!
