The Dodecanese form a long, north-to-south archipelago running parallel to the Turkish coast. In yachting terms, charterers divide these grounds into four distinct cruising zones, anchored by two major charter bases: Kos (servicing the north) and Rhodes (servicing the south).

Best time to visit: The best time to visit the Dodecanese Islands for yachting is generally from May to October. Peak summer brings the full force of the Meltemi, delivering spirited, high-wind sailing for advanced skippers. For experienced sailors seeking a more relaxed balance with lighter breezes, smoother sea states, and quieter anchorages, the shoulder months of May, June, and September are ideal.

North Dodecanese

The North Dodecanese region offers a serene, off-the-beaten-path sailing ground characterized by spiritual heritage, quiet fishing villages, and sheltered island-hopping. Removed from the bustling hub of Kos, this tranquil network of islands provides excellent protection from summer Meltemi swells within fjord-like bays and shallow turquoise channels, making it a peaceful sanctuary for discerning charterers.
