Dodecanese 7-Day Itinerary
Experience ancient history, pristine beaches, and traditional island life in the southeastern Aegean.
Day 1: Leros
Your Dodecanese odyssey begins in Kos, birthplace of Hippocrates. Board your yacht at noon where the crew welcomes you with champagne and a warm Mediterranean breeze. Shortly after, the yacht sets course north, through the island-dotted Aegean. The afternoon cruise delivers you to Leros, an island that time nearly forgot. Unlike its busier neighbors, Leros moves to its own rhythm. Here, village life unfolds as it has for generations. The island's coastline harbors dozens of protected bays with waters so transparent you can count pebbles at 10 metres deep. Platanos village cascades down the hillside, crowned by a Byzantine castle that has watched over these waters for a millennium. At sunset, its stone walls glow amber while the Aegean stretches endlessly blue below.

Day 2: Kalymnos

That fearless spirit still runs through the island's veins. Just offshore, ancient quarries lie submerged, columns and carved blocks rest on the seabed where they've sat for two thousand years. Above water, vertical limestone cliffs have made Kalymnos a pilgrimage site for rock climbers worldwide. The harbor of Pothia curves like an amphitheater, its neoclassical mansions painted in faded pastels that speak of former wealth from the sponge trade. The Archaeological Museum holds treasures as proof that civilization has always been drawn to these protected waters.
Sailing: 2.5 hours (15 nautical miles)

Recommended Beach: Palionisos Bay

Day 3: Nisyros
This morning, the yachts sets course south to Nisyros, where the earth itself is alive. This volcanic island breathes quite literally. Steam vents from the crater floor, and the ground beneath your feet radiates warmth even on cool mornings. The Stefanos Crater is otherworldly: a vast depression painted in sulfur yellows and iron reds, where the air shimmers with heat and possibility. The medieval village of Nikia sits on the crater's rim, its square paved in pebble mosaics that have survived centuries of footsteps. Below, thermal springs bubble from the bedrock forming a natural spa, heated by the magma chamber far below. Local vintners have learned to coax extraordinary wines from volcanic soil that most would consider barren. Each bottle tastes of minerals, salt air, and audacity.
Sailing: 3.5 hours (32 nautical miles)

Recommended Beach: Pachia Ammos (boat-access secluded beach)
Dining: Geusa Seafood Restaurant

Day 4: Tilos
A short morning sail delivers you to Tilos, the island that chose preservation over profit. Fewer than five hundred souls call this place home, and the entire island has been declared a protected nature reserve and bird sanctuary. Eagles soar on thermals above mountains that drop precipitously into the sea. Mikro Chorio sits abandoned on the hillside. A ghost village where stone houses stand roofless and empty, slowly being reclaimed by wild herbs and climbing vines. The silence is profound. In contrast, the valleys burst with life: endemic species found nowhere else, migratory birds that stop here on ancient routes, and seas so pristine that kayaking feels like gliding through liquid sapphire. This is Greece as it was before the crowds arrived.

Day 5: Chalki
Continue south to Chalki, the smallest inhabited island in the Dodecanese, a place where the concept of "rush" simply doesn't exist. The entire permanent population could fit in a small taverna. Emporio harbor is a crescent of neoclassical elegance, its mansions built by sponge merchants who grew wealthy in the 19th century before their industry collapsed. Now the island slumbers beautifully. A single road climbs to Hora, the abandoned hilltop village where a Crusader castle stands watch over empty stone houses and a church with fading frescoes. The Prophet Elias ridge offers sunset views that stretch across the western Aegean. Nearby, Alimnia island is completely uninhabited, a pristine anchorage where you'll be entirely alone except for the goats and the wheeling gulls.

Day 6: Rhodes
Depart early for Rhodes, where medieval grandeur meets cosmopolitan energy. This island has been desired and fought over for three millennia, everyone from Alexander's generals to Italian fascists has claimed it. The Old Town is a UNESCO masterpiece: four kilometers of fortifications encircling a labyrinth of cobbled streets where the Knights of St. John once plotted Crusades. Their palace still dominates the high point, its Gothic halls and stone courtyards magnificent even in ruin and restoration. But Rhodes is far more than its medieval quarter. Lindos clings to a clifftop crowned by an ancient acropolis where columns frame impossible views of turquoise bays. The mountain village of Embonas produces wines of surprising quality from high-altitude vineyards. And at Kallithea Springs, Art Deco pavilions from the Italian era create a theatrical setting for the thermal waters that have drawn bathers since antiquity.

Recommended Beach: Anthony Quinn Bay (early arrival)

Day 7: Symi
Your final full day at sea brings you north to Symi, perhaps the Dodecanese's most photogenic island. The harbor town of Gialos is a vision: hundreds of neoclassical houses stacked up the hillside in layers of ochre, terracotta, and cream, their facades reflected in water that glows emerald in the morning light. Symi prospered through shipbuilding and sponge diving, and that wealth built these elegant merchant houses, most now lovingly restored. The kastro crowns the upper town, its Knights-era walls incorporating stones from the ancient acropolis that stood here first. Below, the bay unfolds like a secret: Marathounda's pebbled beach, accessible only by boat, feels like a private cove. At the southern tip of the island, Panormitis Monastery rises in serene isolation, a Byzantine complex where monks still keep their daily rhythms of prayer and contemplation, welcoming the occasional sailor who finds their way to this sacred shore.

As dusk approaches, a private transfer lifts you into the mountains to Rachi, where dinner unfolds above the clouds.
