DODECANESE LUXURY YACHT CHARTER
Dodecanese offer all the types of luxury yacht charter such as sailing yacht charter, catamaran charter and motoryacht charter.
Climate The Dodecanese climate is of a transitional type and ranges from temperate to dry and tropical, characterized by long hours of sunlight and an extended dry summer period. In summer the prevailing wind is the Meltemi blowing from the North West. It starts promptly in June, and blows strongly from July through to September. In the summer months it regularly blows Force 4-6.
| The Dodecanese (the "Twelve Islands" in Greek), lie in a crescent chain down the Turkish coast curving west towards Crete. Several of the islands have an abundance of natural springs, most notably Kos and Rhodes, which are relatively green and wooded.
Due to a very busy trading route that ran between the Dodecanese and the Turkish coast, these islands reflect an Italianate building style. Indeed the Venetians, as traders, sailed through all of the Dodecanese islands and have definitely left their mark behind them. As did the medieval Knights of the Templar, leaving castles and other structures sprinkled throughout this area after retreating to Occidental Europe.
Typically, luxury yacht charters use Rhodes as an embarcation point due to the regular flights from Athens. From Rhodes, yachts can head North West up the Turkish coast taking the route on the lee side of the islands of Kos and Kalymnos and creeping all the way up to Samos using the many Turkish peninsulas. Other main luxury charter ports of embarcation for the Dodecanese, are Samos island or Kos island.
