Fabulous week’s charter - as ever!! Many thanks to Samboat for usual smooth and easy search and pre-charter comms etc. Archon for great Kos Marina base experience at beginning and end. The marina could do w more than two fuel positions on a Friday afternoon - but we were warned! All round 5 star!!!

Excellent service, good communication beforehand and got well looked after on the day. It was a highlight of the holiday having the freedom to suit ourselves and explore swimming spots. Yogas the skipper was terrific. Highly recommend.

A very nice sailing area, great wind. However, you should be careful about cruising for several days in 5-7 Beaufort. If you really want to sail, great!
Ein sehr schönes Segelrevier, super Wind. Allerdings darf man sich scheuen bei 5-7 Beaufort mehrere Tage zu Kreuzen. Wenn man wirklich Segeln will, Top!

During the high season, the ports and bays fill up quickly. It is often difficult to find a place.
In der Hochsaison sind die Häfen und Buchten rasch belegt. Da wird es oft schwierig einen Platz zu finden.

Idyllic and preserved sailing area compared to other more touristy areas in Greece. On the other hand, the prevailing wind flows from the northwest must be taken into account when planning your route (eg: for the southern islands, you have to be able to go back towards KOS, we did 13 hours of meadows (under the sun!). During our stay at the end of April and beginning of May, the sunshine was daily (it seems to be the sunniest area in Greece, we checked it)
Zone de navigation idyllique et préservée par rapport à d'autres zones plus touristiques en Grèce. Par contre, les flux de vent dominants du nord ouest sont à prendre en compte pour programmer son parcours (ex : pour les iles du sud, il faut pouvoir remonter vers KOS, nous avons fait 13h de prés (sous le soleil !). Lors de notre séjour fin avril début mai, l'ensoleillement fut quotidien (il semble que cela soit la zone la plus ensoleillée en Grèce, nous l'avons vérifié)
