click to enlarge Day 1  Kos Port - arrival day
After taking over your boat, depending on the time of your arrival, you can visit the town, rest, go for a swim or -time permitting- set sails.

Kos Town is cosmopolitan, has many attractions and nightlife.  If your yacht is located in the Marina you will need a taxi
service to visit the town and return

Day 2  Pothia Port  (Kalymnos island - 17 nm)
A short leg so, you can "play boats" sailing up' down for as long you wish.  East of Kalymnos (in the straight between Kalymnos and Turkish coast) you will find mild winds when, if you decide to sail West, you should expect higher winds from N-NW direction.  Pothia Port (Kalymnos capital) is an attractive, quiet little town, inhabited from sponge fishermen.

Day 3  Lipsos  (Lipsos island - 20 nm)
The longest and most demanding leg of this itinerary.  It is only 20nm but you will have to "beat" the meltemi sailing against it.  If that day it blows from a N-NE direction you should sail W of Kalymnos and Leros and enjoy the protection of the islands, when, if it blows from NW you'd rather sail E towards the Turkish coast.

Lipso's small village is attractive in a higgledy-piggledy sort of way.  A few tourists come here but mostly the villagers derive a living from fishing and agriculture.
