DODECANESE ISLANDS
The Dodecanese are a group of 12 larger plus 150 smaller Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, of which 26 are inhabited. This island group generally defines the eastern limit of the Sea of Crete.
In the Dodecanese Islands, sailing cruises are a very popular way to visit as much of this beautiful and diverse archipelago as possible.
The group is made up of fifteen main islands and a number of other tiny islets with beautiful scenery and beaches. Given the sheer number of islands, island hopping on a yacht charter cruise is a very popular way to see as much of the Dodecanese as you can in one visit.
The largest island in the Dodecanese archipelago Rhodes is famous enough all on its own as a historic and fascinating place. The history of the island is as multicultural as the range of visitors it attracts. One of the main attractions of Rhodes is its beautiful coastline with a wide variety of different beaches to inspire everyone.
One of the Dodecanese’s quirkiest and most fun islands, Kos is an action-packed place that still makes plenty of room for relaxation as well. The beaches are seemingly unending, and water sports are everywhere as well as cyclists making the most of some of the best cycling routes in Greece. As if this wasn’t enough, the neighboring islands and islands of Kalymnos and Telendos are some of the archipelago’s biggest draws for rock climbers around the world. Unique in nature, Karpathos is probably the best place in the Dodecanese to experience the old world of the Greek Islands on sail cruise. Somehow the island has escaped the transformation into a tourist haven and retains its rare and original beauty.
Although don’t be surprised if you find yourself hooked and coming back again and again, these islands are addictive. The true charm of the Dodecanese lies in the sheer variety that can be found here. You can be one day in the lively city of Rhodes enjoying the nightlife and hustle and bustle, only a short sail later you find yourself on one of Greece’s most traditional and peaceful islands, Karpathos soaking in the atmosphere. Whichever islands you choose to visit on your cruise of the Dodecanese one thing is certain, they will linger in your mind for years to come.
