Athens to Rhodes 1week challenging On this weekly tour from Athens (you may start from Alimos Marina, Lavrion or Olympic Marine) depended on your charter agency's location, you will visit some of the Cycladic islands, as well as, the Dodekanese islands.

The itinerary has a challenging rate, as the 50 nm you will need to cover every day will require 8-10 sailing hours every day.  You will visit five islands in five sailing days, a total of 265 nm with an average sailing distance of 53 nm every day. You must start early morning every day to avoid approaching the destination port after the sunset.  This tour allows one resting day in the port of your choice and all the suggested harbours are safe at all weather.  A positive remark for this itinerary is that you will most likely sail "downwind" every day, provided that the usual NE - NW meltemi wind blows. Note:  The reverse itinerary (starting from Rhodes and ending at Athens) is a lot more difficult and you must sail to totally different Ports of Call.
