The Dodecanese Islands lay in south eastern Aegean offering luxury motor yacht charters and sailing yacht rental options. Dodecanese is actually a group of over 163 islands, and only 26 of those are inhabited and are located at the most eastern area of Greece, at the borders of Europe. The word Dodecanese is derived from the Greek word meaning «twelve islands». Dodecanese Islands run between Greece and Turkey. They are by tradition Greek.
The Islands include 14 larger islands of Astypalea, Kalymnos, Kasos, Karpathos, Khalki, Kos, Lipsi, Leros, Nisyros, Patmos, Rhodes, Symi, Tilos, as well 40 smaller islets and rocks. It is a rather eclectic mix of wonderful places to go. Hiring a yacht is the best way to go and visit these islands as there are so many. You would need a few weeks just to see the major attractions in these islands and what better way to spend a few weeks than on a yacht with friends or a spouse.
This area with the mild climate, soft breezes and bright sun on crystal clear water is a pleasure to sail in. You can take in all of the natural beauty that this area has to offer while you are on the sea. You can rent a skippered boat so you can enjoy the specific islands and get a closer look at all that they have to offer for a fun nightlife, shopping, and ancient sights, while keeping your time at the boat relaxing.
Patmos is an island of Religious significance; this is where St John wrote Revelations, the Apocalypse. It is also a popular spot for its sunny beaches and sailing. There are historical sites to see on this small island like the Monastery of St John the Theologian, the historic villages with their charming white washed homes. It is full of traditional charm and beauty.
The beaches are sandy and offer trees for shade. They are clean and can offer you a fun day in the sun, and some of them, like Psili Ammos are only able to be reached by boat, so the yacht would be of great use here. Dock in the sparkling port and relax or swim on the beach by day, and go back to the luxury motor yacht in the evening.
One thing is sure; you will want to come back again, and you will absolutely enjoy all of the amenities of a yacht charter when you sail this area of the Seas as you will experience the ultimate yachting time!
