Day 1
Embarkation, welcome drink and programme briefing in
Bodrum harbour. Dinner and overnight stay in the harbour
or at a nearby cove.
Day 2 Arrive in Cos around noon.
Opportunity to see Asclepeion, Castle or the Museum (all
open until 14:30), after lunch on board. Choice of
swimming in the warm waters of Empros thermal baths on the
south coast. Overnight stay in Cos harbour.
Day 3 Arrival at Leros around noon. Swim
at Xirokambos then arrival in Lakki or Ayia Marina.
Because Leros is not a ''tourist paradise'', the island
has been able to preserve much of its traditional way of
life. Afternoon and evening open for excursions on foot or
by rented motorbike.
Day 4 Early morning departure. Breakfast
and swim at Leipsi. Arrive at Fournoi islands, a tranquil
region untouched by mass tourism.
Day 5 Arrival in Scala harbour of Patmos,
situated at the base of a mountain crowned by a 13th
century monastery of St. John the Divine. The island with
its monasteries is of great importance for the Greek
Orthodox Church; its many lovely coves and characteristic
villages are similar to those found on other Greek Aegean
islands.
Day 6 Today's destination is the island
of Kalimnos. Although its days in the sun as a major
sponge fishing centre are over, Kalimnos still bares
traces of those times in some of its stately homes dating
from that era.
Day 7 Arrival in Cos around noon, after a
morning swim in Pserimos with departure timed to avoid the
rush of daily tour boats. Opportunity to sightsee places
missed at the beginning of the cruise. Overnight stay in
Cos or Bodrum in accordance with the passengers'
preference.
Day 8 Disembarkation after breakfast in Bodrum
