Dodecanese Flotilla
Flotilla Charter · 7 nights · Kos, Dodecanese
About This Flotilla
Based in Kos, right on Turkey's doorstep in the south-east Aegean, this flotilla alternates between two island-hopping routes — one to the amphitheatre-shaped harbour town of Symi via Nisyros and Tilos, the other to Kalymnos, Lipsi and Leros.
Warm, reliable sailing among some of Greece's least-crowded islands, with the fortress of the Knights of St John overlooking Kos harbour on the way out and back.

Frequently Asked Questions
A flotilla is a small group of yachts sailing the same route together, each skippered independently by its own crew, with a lead boat carrying an experienced flotilla skipper and host to plan the route, help with mooring, and organise social evenings ashore.
Yes, a basic sailing qualification and some experience is expected since you skipper your own yacht — but the lead boat and support crew are there to help throughout the week, making it a great step up for less experienced sailors.
On a bareboat charter you sail entirely independently. On a flotilla, you still skipper your own boat, but sail as part of a group with a lead boat setting the route and providing support and company along the way.
The yacht for your group, the lead boat and flotilla skipper/host, a planned daily route, and organised welcome and social evenings. See the Included/Excluded list on each flotilla for full details.
