If the Ionian is gentle jazz, the Dodecanese is indie rock bigger horizons, bolder colours, and proper history at every dock. Start Rhodes: UNESCO old town, Lindos’ acropolis, bays like Anthony Quinn that sparkle at breakfast. Hop to Symi for the pastel amphitheatre port (arrive golden hour, trust us), then slide to Tilos for wild beaches and starry nights. It’s classic Greece sailing with a little spice from the Meltemi early starts, lee side routes, happy crew.
This string is ideal for a private yacht charter Greece: your pace, your soundtrack, your swim stops. New to the region? Our greek sailing tours pair you with skippers who know the line handlers, the bakery opening times, and the one cove that’s still empty at 4pm. Greek islands hopping here means big culture hits plus quiet anchorages where the only noise is halyards and cicadas. Yacht charter Greece in shoulder season (May/Oct) brings warm water, open berths and prices that feel friendlier.
Practical bits: book fuel stops, carry extra lines, and have a windy day plan maybe a hike to a monastery, or a lazy taverna lunch while the breeze settles. Come for the colours, stay for the hospitality, leave properly hooked on the Dodec.
