Sept 17-30, Greece to Turkey
Possibly our most popular trips, our Sept "combos" are always booked out
early!
One reason for the popularity of this trip is that it's a
perfect time to do both countries; the more mellow ambiance of Greece in Sept, the lack
of crowds and continuing perfect weather conditions in more southern Turkey at the end
of Sept.
We'll be starting in our home island of Leros, and sailing north to visit some of the
lesser-known islands for the first few days; our minature-paradise island of Marathi, the
tiny fishing villages of Arki and Agathonissi. Patmos - the famous Knights of St John
monastery island - will be on the route also, as will the traditional blue-and-white village
of Pandeli, and it's ever-friendly locals.
Heading south for Turkey at the end of the first week, we'll be exploring the many bays and
backwaters of the Turkish coastline; from tiny, one-family-taverna bays to the lively,
bustling little town of Datca, a great spot to dance the night away! In Bozburun, one of our
wonderful host families has been known to put on the belly-dancing for us too - which all
are encouraged to join in and learn how to wobble their midriffs too... :)
Temperatures around high 80s; prevailing winds mostly following or on the beam, very
pleasant !
