7-Day Southern Dodecanese Yacht Charter from Rhodes
A 7-day South Dodecanese yacht charter from Rhodes offers a smooth and culturally rich cruising loop with short distances and calm anchorages. The route typically includes Symi, Tilos, Nisyros, and Chalki—each known for colourful harbours, quiet bays, and authentic island life. Guests enjoy a balanced blend of relaxing swims, scenic coastal passages, historic sites, and traditional Greek villages before returning to Rhodes for a final evening in its medieval Old Town.
Day 1 – Rhodes Marina → Kalithea / Anthony Quinn Bay
Your charter begins in Rhodes Marina, where guests settle in, meet the crew, and enjoy a smooth departure along the island’s east coast. A short cruise brings you to Kalithea or Anthony Quinn Bay, both known for emerald water and dramatic rocky bays. This gentle start is perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying your first dinner onboard under a calm evening sky.
Day 2 – Rhodes → Symi (Pedi or Symi Harbour)
Cruise north to the colourful island of Symi, one of the most iconic stops in the South Dodecanese. Entering Symi Harbour is truly impressive—tiered neoclassical houses line the waterfront in soft pastel tones. Anchor in Pedi Bay for a quieter overnight or berth in the main harbour to experience Symi’s elegant evening life. Guests can explore local boutiques, small churches, and authentic waterfront tavernas.
Day 3 – Symi → Tilos
Sail west toward Tilos, a quiet island with a protected natural environment and peaceful villages. The bays around Livadia and Eristos Beach offer excellent swimming and a relaxing setting for the day. Tilos is known for its slow rhythm and unspoiled charm, making it ideal for travellers seeking calm cruising and nature-focused experiences.
Day 4 – Tilos → Nisyros
Today’s route takes you to Nisyros, a volcanic island with a very different character. Guests often enjoy walking through the crater of Stefanos, one of the most accessible volcanic features in the Aegean. The harbour town of Mandraki offers narrow streets, traditional houses, and panoramic viewpoints. Anchor in a sheltered bay or moor in Paloi for a local atmosphere and easy shore access.
Day 5 – Nisyros → Chalki
Cruise east to Chalki, a tranquil island famous for its postcard harbour and quiet beaches. Nimborio, the main town, stands out with its colourful waterfront and relaxed lifestyle. Chalki’s small bays invite swimming, snorkeling, and slow afternoons on deck. Guests often enjoy dining ashore or spending a peaceful evening anchored just outside the harbour.
Day 6 – Chalki → Lindos (Rhodes Coast)
Sail back toward Rhodes, stopping in Lindos, home to one of the island’s most impressive ancient sites—the Acropolis of Lindos. The coastline offers sheltered coves, ideal for watersports and sunbathing. St. Paul’s Bay is a popular anchorage with beautiful water and dramatic scenery. Enjoy a relaxed final evening in a calm Rhodes bay, with the option to visit Lindos village.
Day 7 – Lindos → Rhodes Marina
A smooth cruise along the coast brings you back to Rhodes Marina, where your South Dodecanese loop concludes. Spend the evening exploring the medieval Old Town—a UNESCO World Heritage site—or enjoy a final dinner onboard before disembarkation the next morning.
