This sailing adventure combines all you could want in just 2 days – sailing, tradition, history, art and culture, fine cuisine, tranquillity, spirituality, nature, solitude, beautiful beaches, swimming, snorkelling, water sports and much more.... You will definitely have an unforgettable experience as you embark on a once in a lifetime Sailing Adventure beginning from Rhodes and sailing to the picturesque and charming island of Symi. Our first stop is the enchanting St. George’s Dysalonas Bay. This hard to reach location is a jewel of extraordinary beauty with its vertical rock like structure and peaceful beach offering crystal clear turquoise waters ideal for swimming and fishing. Here we enjoy a full lunch on the yacht and engage in swimming, snorkelling and water sports. Our next stop is the eye catching and picturesque port of SYMI MARINA TOWN with its multi coloured Neo- Classical houses that adorn the port like a coloured necklace adorns a woman’s neck. Here we spend the evening where you will be able to enjoy a delicious dinner of your choice at one of the local taverns, explore the village’s traditional settlements or browse any of the stores or boutiques. The next day after breakfast on the yacht, we set sail to PANORMITES MONASTERY dedicated to Archangel Michael. This monastery is a major pilgrimage site and is set against a stunning backdrop of pine-covered mountain-sides which only seem to add to the feeling of remoteness and solitude. Here we offer you a guided tour of the monastery that offers a pebbled decorated courtyard, frescoes, elaborate chandeliers, library, and 2 museums of ecclesiastical art and folk art. In addition we have a coffee break where we taste the local bakeries sumptuous delicacies. After feeling spiritually renewed we sail to SESKLI ISLET which is a small uninhabited island south of Symi which is of archaeological and historical interest. This islet is green with vigorous bird life and boasts some beautiful shorelines for swimming. You will definitely enjoy the tranquillity this place offers. At one of Seskli’s beautiful bays we swim, snorkel and engage in water sports or simply relax in the sun before returning back to Rhodes. Highly Recommended!
