Dodecanese yacht charter from Rhodes

Rhodes is of great historical importance as the site of the Colossus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and a perfect starting point for cruising the Dodecanese or the nearby coast of Turkey.

Rhodes Town is dominated by the Palace of the Grand Master, built around 1310 at the end of the Byzantine era. Our base in Mandraki harbour is a leisurely stroll from the palace and the old town.

A week takes in Symi, Nisyros, Kos, Tilos and Halki; with two weeks you can sail north to Leros, Patmos, Lipsi and Kalymnos.
