MORE notes about the passage

Introduction

The SE passage from the Athens Region to Rhodes and Marmaris is long and easy with predominately favorable winds and plenty of stopover opportunities.

The opposite NW passage from Rhodes and Marmaris to the Athens Region with predominately contrary winds is harder, longer, and with longer distances between possible stopovers.

Climate & Weather Information

See Aegean Weather.

Weather Windows

In general, the best sailing in the Aegean Sea is during the period from late May to mid October. But this does not preclude earlier in the Spring or later in the Autumn. Sailing in the winter months can be problematic due to stronger, more volatile, and less predictable weather.

Possible Departure Points

Route/Suggested Stopovers

SE Going to Rhodes & Marmaris

A good portion of this passage is similar to the Southern Route East Going of the Passages between Athens Region and Samos - Kusadasi.

  1. The first convenient stopover is Fikiada in Kythnos World icon.png 37°24.7′N, 24°23′E which is 44 nM WNW from Kalamaki Marina World icon.png 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E or 78 nM from the Corinth Canal World icon.png 37°54.91′N, 23°0.61′E. For alternative stopovers see Southern Route East Going (step 1).
  2. The second attractive stop is Finikas in Syros World icon.png 37°23.5′N, 24°52.5′E which is 33 nM SW from Fikiada.
  3. From Finikas sail 21 nM W to the delightful South Bay World icon.png 37°23′N, 25°14.3′E of the uninhabited little island of Rhinia.
  4. Then, sail SE to Dendro Donousa World icon.png 37°05.7′N, 25°48.2′E which is 33 nM from Rhinia.
  5. And from Donousa sail SSE 15 nM to Aegiali in Amorgos World icon.png 36°54.2′N, 25°58.5′E.
  6. From Aegiali a nice 28 nM E sail brings you to the delightful little island of Levitha World icon.png 37°0.14′N, 26°28.06′E, inhabited by a single family.
  7. From Levitha sail SE 41 nM to the uninhabited small island of Yiali World icon.png 36°39.87′N, 27°07.72′E.
  8. From Yiali you sail for 36 nM ESE to the pleasant and very secure anchorage of Panormitis in Symi World icon.png 36°33.1′N, 27°50.5′E.
  9. From Panormitis Mandraki, Rhodes World icon.png 36°27.3′N, 28°13.7′E is just a 22 nM sail SE. In Mandraki you can clear Greek Customs.
  10. Finally, from Mandraki you can sail NNE for 25 nM to Marmaris in Turkey World icon.png 36°51′N, 28°16.5′E.

The total distance from Kalamaki Marina World icon.png 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E along the route outlined above is:

NW Going from Rhodes & Marmaris

The main goal of this route is to minimize exposure to headwinds and maximize the use of sails. Because of this, the route is more westerly during the passage through the Dodecanese and the Cyclades islands until the island of Sifnos in the eastern Cyclades. In that region the prevailing meltemi blows from the NE so you may be able to continue NW to the Attika Coast (Athens Region), if not, you can continue sailing in WNW direction towards the N coast of the Peloponnese and then in a more sheltered waters head N.

  1. Starting from Marmaris, Turkey sail SSW for 25 nM to Mandraki in Rhodes, Greece World icon.png 36°27.3′N, 28°13.7′E where you can clear Greek Customs.
  2. From Mandraki sail 41 nM WSW to Livádia in Tilos World icon.png 36°24.97′N, 27°23.2′E.
  3. Then, from Livádia sail 53 nM WNW to Maltezana Bay in remote island of Astypalea World icon.png 36°34.5′N, 26°23.2′E.
  4. The fourth leg takes you 62 nM WNW from Maltezana Bay to Port Ios in the island of Ios in the Cyclades World icon.png 36°43.4′N, 25°16.1′E.
  5. From Port Ios you sail NW for 33 nM to the very secure anchorage of Port Vathi in the island of Sifnos World icon.png 36°55.7′N, 24°41.2′E.
  6. From Port Vathi you have two choices:
    1. If the meltemi is not very strong and you feel comfortable sailing north,
      1. sail NNW for only 17 nM to Koutala Bay in the island of Serifos World icon.png 37°07.9′N, 24°27.4′E
      2. then, from Koutala Bay sail 21 nM N to Fikiada in Kythnos World icon.png 37°24.7′N, 24°23′E which is a 44 nM sail ENE to Kalamaki Marina World icon.png 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E or a 78 nM sail mostly E to the Corinth Canal World icon.png 37°54.91′N, 23°0.61′E.
    2. With stronger winds continue in a westerly direction,
      1. sail 87 nM WNW to Leonidio in NE Peloponnese World icon.png 37°08.7′N, 22°53.61′E
      2. then, 28 nM NE to Molos in the island of Hydra World icon.png 37°19.6′N, 23°24.75′E which is then a 40 nM sail N to Kalamaki Marina World icon.png 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E or 53 nM sail mostly NE to the Corinth Canal World icon.png 37°54.91′N, 23°0.61′E.

The total distance to Kalamaki Marina World icon.png 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E along the direct route via Koutala Bay outlined above is:

While the total distance to Kalamaki Marina World icon.png 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E along the indirect route via Leonidio in NE Peloponnese World icon.png 37°08.7′N, 22°53.61′E is:
