–LEROS– PATMOS – LIPSI –
KALIMNOS- BODRUM)
Cruise
day 1:
Bodrum
Boarding the yacht, you will be greeted by our friendly and professional
crew. On the first
day, our boat will be anchored at Bodrum Port for dinner and overnight
stay. Bodrum has a history that goes back to the 12th century B.C. The
city which was called 'Halicarnassus' was the birthplace of Herodotus;
the 'Father of History' who lived in the 5th century B.C. The
'Mausoleum' of King Mausolus (350 B.C.) which is one of the Seven
Wonders of the World is in this city. The only structure that survived
from the Classical Era is the Amphitheatre. It is one of the oldest
theatres in Anatolia with a capacity of 13.000 guests, and is still
hosting many shows and concerts for the art-lovers of Bodrum. Another
place that you should visit whilst in Bodrum is the landmark of the
city 'Castle of Saint Peter'. It is one of the best preserved pieces of
architecture with a history that dates back to the middle Ages. 'Myndos
Gate' through which Alexander the Great entered Halicarnassus is
another place that you should not miss.
Cruise
day 2: Cos ( Kos )
Whilst you have breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise
itinerary. After the paper work at customs is completed we will cruise
to Kos Island. Asclepion, known to be the birth place of Hippocrates,
'the Father of Medical Sciences', is located here. All the East-
Mediterranean people with health problems were treated in Kos. Kos; the
second largest island of the 12 islands
(Dodecanese islands) has a very mild climate and very fertile lands.
The island houses a 560-year-old tree, a 211-year-old fountain and a
290 km long beach. You may take a quick swim in Lambi Beach which is
very close to Kos Harbour. Cos is one of the islands with the best
night life. Nafklirou, a street full of bars, is always crowded,
colourful, and full of life.
Cruise
day 3: Leros
We will cruise to the beautiful island of Leros. Leros is a
mountainous, green island with high cliffs and many small bays and
villages. After a swimming break in Xerakampos, we will anchor at Lakki
Harbour or Agia Marina Port located in east. You should visit Platanos
the main city of Leros with steep stairs, narrow streets, and flower
gardens. From Platanos you can take the steps leading up the Castle of
Leros climbing 300 steps! Rent a bike or explore this island by foot.
Cruise
day 4:
Patmos
We will cruise to Patmos Island early in the morning. We will have a
swimming stop in a bay around the island. Patmos is not a big island,
but it is one of the best known. It was here St. John had his vision
and wrote the apocalypse, and this is why Patmos is sometimes called
"The Jerusalem of the Aegean". The Monastery of St. Johns towers above
the capital, a village called Chora, and the whole island breathes of
faith and devotion. According to mythology, Patmos was a present from
Zeus to his daughter Artemis, goddess of hunting and young women. She
was worshipped here in antiquity, and the monastery of St. John was
built on her temple. After breakfast we may have a walk through the
monasteries. Our yacht will stay overnight in Patmos Port.

day 5:
Lipsi
We will set sail to Lipsi Island. We have a swimming stop in one of the
many small islands in front of Lipsi. On Lipsi Island there are

waters. On the small natural port is the capital, with its white houses
and its beautiful square, where you can find numerous taverns,
cafeterias and restaurants. On the island the church of the
Catopanaghia constructed in the 770d.c deserves a visit, along with the
church of Panopanaghia 1500d.c.
Cruise
day 6: Kalimnos
We will take a swimming stop in a beautiful bay around the Kalimnos
Island. We are going to enter Pothia Harbour which is the capital. The
