Day 1
Kos — Embarkation & Sail to Nisyros
Welcome aboard in Rhodes New Marina, where the afternoon breeze sets the tone for the week ahead. After settling in and a short briefing, cast off and sail north-east toward Symi, arriving in the island's glorious Gialos Harbour — a horseshoe of pastel-hued neoclassical mansions climbing steeply from the waterfront. Spend the evening exploring the quayside tavernas and soaking up one of the most photogenic harbours in all of Greece.

Day 2
Kos to Nisyros
After a leisurely breakfast with Symi's hillside mansions as a backdrop, sail west toward the tranquil island of Tilos — one of the least-visited gems of the Dodecanese. Drop anchor or moor in Livadia Bay and take time to discover quiet coves perfect for swimming before wandering up to the traditional village for dinner at a genuine local taverna, unhurried and utterly peaceful.

Day 3
Nisyros to Tilos
A short sail north brings you to Nisyros, an island born of volcanic fire. Moor in the charming whitewashed port of Mandraki and join a short excursion inland to the Stefanos caldera, where you can walk the actual floor of an active volcanic crater — an extraordinary and humbling experience. Return to the boat for sundowners with views over the Aegean, the smell of sulphur still fresh in the memory.
Ashore nearbyElephant Museum · En Ploo · Almyriki
Day 4
Tilos to Symi
Sail south-west to tiny, traffic-free Halki — one of the most unspoilt islands in Greece. Anchor off the golden arc of Pondamos Beach for a long, blissful swim before heading into Nimporio port for a leisurely lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants. With no cars to speak of and a wonderfully relaxed pace of life, Halki is the perfect antidote to the well-trodden tourist trail.
