 SAILING THE DODECANESE ISLANDS
The beautiful Dodecanese Islands are located in Southeast Aegean, between the majestic coasts of Greece and Turkey. They are perhaps most well-known for their excellent climate, clear sandy beaches, exquisite natural features and impressive historical and religious monuments.
The Dodecanese Islands Cluster is comprised of Rodos (Rhodes), Kos, Kalymnos, Patmos, Leros, Astypalea, Kasos, Karpathos, Nissiros, Symi, Tilos and Kastelorizo, as well as a number of smaller islands.
The "Meltemi" wind of the Aegean Sea blows from the NW-W during the summer months, starting from early June, strengthening in July, August and September, and finally dying down in October. It can reach up to 6-7 Beaufort. The wind is particularly strong around Astypalea, Patmos, Kos, Karpathos, Kalymnos, Nissiros and Tilos. It is not a predictable wind and if the "Meltemi" is blowing at full force, it is best to travel south rather than north.
In case you don't feel so experienced for such a "sportive" sailing and maneuverings into the ports for mooring with such a strong winds, then it's wise to consider hiring a professional skipper and let him command the boat.
All of our 3 own sailing boats are based on Leros Island, Dodecanese.
