Greek Island Sailing Itineraries

Experience the ultimate feeling of escape, and enjoy travel at its most liberating with Neyzen’s luxury private and cabin gulet yacht charters in the Greek islands, Springtime, Summer and Fall. We work closely with you to custom design your ideal yacht charter route exploring the secrets and highlights of the fabulous Greek Dodecanese Islands.

Gulet Yacht charter is a fantastic way to explore Greece’s myriad islands, some not even on the map. While much of Greece is beautifully undeveloped, a handful of our destinations still do not offer much of a choice accommodation-wise. This is why staying on board our yachts gives you the best of both worlds: with so many islands to explore you are already at home on board and can island hop to your hearts content without the hassle of luggage and logistics. Sea rhythms and the open air enhance this exclusive experience of Greece, its warm local hospitality, rustic charm, incredible natural beauty, fantastic climate and rich history. Experiencing this culture while staying close to nature, offers the perfect balance of adventure, reflection and relaxation.

Explore Greek island life and cuisine, enjoy sailing and water sports, relax in the sun, practice your photography, and read a book or 2. You can even make reservations during one of the many festival seasons in the islands and soak up the unforgettable carnival atmosphere too. We have a selection of route combinations that will give you exactly what you want from your cruise, either by luxury cabin charter or private yacht charter.

 

The North Dodecanese Aegean Islands Of Greece

 

Airport Transfers on arrival and departure to/ from your yacht connecting with Bodrum, Dalaman or Kos airports will incur extra cost.

Bodrum/Kos - Pserimos - Leros - Lipsi - Arki - Patmos - Telendos – Kalymnos - Kos/Bodrum

This itinerary caters for guests flying to Greece to embark on Kos Island, or those flying into Turkey to embark in Bodrum.

This cruise will give you a wonderful and varied experience of the most beautiful of the islands in the Northern Dodecanese archipelago; do as much site-seeing as you like and be sure of fabulous swimming, relaxing on deck, and dining like kings and queens both on board and at the islands’ excellent taverna restaurants. 

The historic island of Kos, the home of Hippocrates and the center of ancient medicine, has a lovely medieval old town, castle and many beautiful ancient ruins amongst its abundant trees and greenery. From here, cruise to Leros, great for shopping and chic restaurants while still characterful and laid-back with lovely neoclassical buildings. Lipsi is in contrast off-the-beaten-track and offers lovely beaches, walks, rustic tavernas and a folky feel; the rarely-visited island of Arki is also completely unspoilt as a destination with stunning beaches and a fantastic taverna. On to Patmos, an important site of pilgrimage since ancient times and home of the fascinating Monastery of St John, many crystal clear bays for anchorage and fantastic restaurants. The next port of call is Kalymnos famous for its immaculate swimming waters, as an international rock-climbing destination, and as the island of the sponge divers. Also visit the connecting islet of Telendos, with its laid-back village atmosphere. From here sail to tiny Pserimos and explore spectacularly untouched natural landscapes on foot, cute beaches and local rural ambience before heading back to Kos and disembarking there or in Bodrum.

The South Dodecanese Aegean Islands of Greece

 

Airport Transfers on arrival and departure to/ from your yacht connecting with Bodrum, Dalaman or Kos airports will incur extra cost.

Kos - Pserimos - Nissyros - Tilos - Rhodes - Simi - Kos

This itinerary caters for guests flying to Greece to embark on Kos Island, or those flying into Turkey to embark in Bodrum.

This cruise will give you a wonderful and varied experience of the most beautiful of the islands in the Southern Dodecanese archipelago; do as much site-seeing as you like and be sure of fabulous swimming, relaxing on deck, and feasting like kings and queens both on board and at the islands’ excellent taverna restaurants. From the palm-lined cobblestone streets, laid back cafes, lush greenery, and many ancient monuments of lovely Kos town, which is presided over by the beautiful Crusader castle, sail to the small island of Pserimos which takes you off the-beaten track with its tiny population and virgin beaches. On to Nissyros, a volcanic island with a rich history and lots to see and do from great hikes and walking to a wide choice of beautiful beaches, some developed, others more remote, sites of historical and architectural interest, dramatic natural secnery and the famous thermal springs. Next stop is Tilos, a mountainous island of striking medieval castles, natural springs, verdant national parks, excellent hikes, pristine beaches, charming churches, the cave of the dwarf elephants and mysterious abandoned medieval villages. From here sail to Rhodes, the Island of the Knights, literally has everything; endless beaches, lush rural landscapes, mountain villages and countless cultural and historical monuments from many civilizations and eras. The essence of Rhodes’ distinctive fairy tale atmosphere lies in the stunning medieval city, the island’s glorious 24 centuries of history meeting the present here in one of the best preserved of its kind in Europe. Finally the picturesque Simi Island is a much loved and truly romantic destination; the pretty harbor is characterized by the scattering of neoclassical facades painted in all different colors trickling down the hillside, cobblestone courtyards, vibrant flowers overflowing from every balcony and garden, and an enchanting atmosphere evoked by the Bridge of Love and the local ancient shipbuilding tradition.
