Yacht Charter Kos or Rhodes in the Dodecanese

Explore the unspoilt Dodecanese islands with a yacht from Kos or Rhodes in the southeast Aegean, just off the coast of Turkey. A Kos sailing holiday has something for everyone.

Plan a sailing holiday in the southeast Aegean where the islands of the Dodecanese stretch along the coast of Turkey. This is a wonderful sailing destination for bareboat yacht charter and suits sailors looking for guaranteed winds and longer passages between unspoilt islands. The islands in the Dodecanese are conveniently spaced to allow a good day’s sail and they are all so varied, rich in culture and history. Between the well-known holiday islands of Kos and Rhodes lie the fascinating islands of Simi, with its beautiful Venetian harbour, Niseros with its dormant volcano and Tilos, virtually undiscovered by tourism.

North of Kos the islands have completely escaped tourism,here you'll find traditional fishing ports and quiet waterfront restaurants. This sailing holiday is a great choice for keen sailors who want to explore some lesser known Greek islands and enjoy more sunshine than anywhere else in Greece.
