May 1-14 Greece-to-Turkey
We'll be starting in our home island of Leros, and sailing north to visit some of the
lesser-known islands for the first few days; our minature-paradise island of Marathi,
the tiny fishing villages of Arki and Agathonissi. Patmos - the famous Knights of St
John monastery island - will be on the route also, as will the traditional blue-and-white
village of Pandeli, and it's ever-friendly locals.
Heading south for Turkey at the end of the first week, we'll be exploring the many bays
and backwaters of the Turkish coastline; from tiny, one-family-taverna bays to the lively,
bustling little town of Datca, a great spot to dance the night away! In Bozburun, one of
our wonderful host families has been known to put on the belly-dancing for us too - which
all are encouraged to join in and learn how to wobble their midriffs too... :)
A little-known National Park anchorage is the perfect spot for ouronshore barbeque too!
We'll end the trip in the stunningly beautiful bay of Keci Buku; a little gem of a place,
surrounded with pine forests, it's entrance guarded by a fortress dating wellback into BC
times. It's tucked well away from the main tourist masses, yet only a 30min ride from the
main town of Marmaris, THE major tourist centre on this coast - hence close to all the
conveniences of airports/easy transport, etc.
Temperatures will be around high 70s - low 80s for the Greece week... rising rapidly as we get
into mid May - Turkey is often noticeably warmer than Greece too, despite how close they are
geographically to each other!
The winds usually fairly gentle in the early part of the season, though we do get some occasional strong blows.
Yes, it's possible to do just one week of this itinerary! Email us for more info
