Day 1: Rhodes to Symi (23 NM)

Eristos Beach offers a perfect spot for a relaxed afternoon swim, or enjoy scenic walking trails through olive groves and chapels.
Day 3: Tilos to Nisyros (20 NM)
Sail onward to the volcanic island of Nisyros, where nature and myth converge. Visit the vast Stefanos Crater and explore Nikia village, perched on the rim of the caldera. Meander through cobbled alleys, sip coffee in a traditional square, and admire sweeping views of the volcanic landscape.

Head to the vibrant island of Kos, where ancient ruins and a lively marina atmosphere await. Dock at Kos Marina and uncover history at the Castle of the Knights or the Roman Odeon. Spend the afternoon cycling through town, shopping at boutiques, or relaxing on the beach before an elegant dinner under the stars.
Day 5: Kos to Kalymnos (20 NM)
Kalymnos is next—an island celebrated for sponge diving, dramatic cliffs, and clear swimming bays. Drop anchor at Pothia or Vlychadia and enjoy time snorkeling, hiking, or visiting the local sponge museum. The island’s authenticity and laid-back charm make it a guest favorite.
Day 6: Kalymnos to Leros (20 NM)
Arrive at Leros, known for its fortress-crowned hills, Italianate architecture, and secluded coves. Stop in Agia Marina or Panteli, wander through local tavernas, and visit the Castle of Panagia. For history lovers, the War Museum—housed in a World War II tunnel—is a highlight.
