Day 1: BODRUM
Boarding starts at 15:30 from Bodrum Harbour. 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.

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
(İstankoy). 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 swim in Lambi Beach which is very close to Kos Harbour. Kos is one of the islands with the best
night life. Nafklirou, a street full of bars, is always crowded, colourful, and full of life.

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.

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 beautiful sandy beaches, like Platis Giolos with its crystal green 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.

Day 6: KALİMNOS
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 islander ensured their lively hood with sponge diving for centuries. There are
nice beaches such as Massouri, Mirties and Vlyhadia around the Island.
