Description
Wondering how to make your stay in Patmos even more unforgettable? Then do not leave without sailing to its nearby smaller siblings. The coastline is dotted with small gems with waters that look like they’ve been coloured with turquoise dye. Depending on the weather conditions and time you have at your disposal, you can choose your route and destinations with the help of your captain. The islands of Arki, Lipsi, Marathi, Aspronisia and Makronisia are there, waiting for you. You won’t believe your eyes, so don’t forget your camera.
Choose Arki, if you want to swim in one of the most spectacular beaches of the Dodecanese, Tiganakia, and grab a bite at the famous Trypas taverna. Next to Arki lies Marathi another tiny island with no cars or shops, but crystal-clear waters and three tavernas to satisfy your sea-induced hunger. Try the fresh fish at Pandelis, and everything else they have on the menu.
Sail to Lipsi if you are environmentally conscious and interested in the Aegean Marine Life Sanctuary that was recently established there to create a safe haven for sea animals. Your destination angel will tell you all about it, as well as about the island’s land plants and animals which are protected by the Natura 2000 network. If swimming in waters the colour and clarity of nothing you’ve ever imagined possible is your desire, your captain has you covered.
The uninhabited islands of Aspronisi and Makronisi are the homes to coves that look photoshopped. Only they are not. Go on, jump in. Visit one, visit two, make a day of it and visit them all. It’s up to you (and the weather gods). Snacks and beverages will be available on board to keep your energy levels up throughout, but hopping off the boat and dining by the seaside is always a choice in our book.
