About Dodecanese

Dodecanese, in a sailor's words.

Sail the Dodecanese and you thread a chain of islands that kept crusader castles, Italian art-deco harbours and Greek fishing villages all within sight of the Turkish coast. Symi is the show-stopper — a neoclassical amphitheatre around a harbour you'll fight for at six pm and forgive by seven. Nisyros lets you walk inside a live volcano; Kalymnos still dives for sponges; Rhodes old town is a medieval city with a marina attached. The meltemi funnels between the islands, so afternoon legs can be lively — plan them early, and keep an anchorage in reserve. Charters from Kos or Rhodes both work; Kos keeps the legs shorter, Rhodes adds the grand finale.
