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 passages from Rhodes and Marmaris to the Athens Region with predominately contrary winds are 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.

Communication

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/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BMarmaris.5D.5D.2C_.5B.5BTurkey.5D.5DHarbour icon Marmaris, Turkey [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Marmaris, Turkey|Marmaris, Turkey]] 36°51.0′N, 28°16.59′E sail SSW for 25 nM to Mandraki, Rhodes/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BMandraki.5D.5D.2C_.5B.5BRhodes.5D.5DHarbour icon Mandraki, Rhodes [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Mandraki, Rhodes|Mandraki, Rhodes]] (Μανδράκι) 36°27.13′N, 28°13.68′E where you can clear Greek Customs.
  2. From Mandraki sail 41 nM WSW to Livádia/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BTilos.23Liv.C3.A1dia.7CLiv.C3.A1dia.5D.5DHarbour icon Livádia [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Livádia|Livádia]] (Λιβάδια, Τήλος) 36°24.97′N, 27°23.2′E in Tilos.
  3. Then, from Livádia sail 53 nM WNW to Maltezana Bay/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BAstypalea.23Maltezana_Bay.7CMaltezana_Bay.5D.5DAnchorage icon Maltezana Bay [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Maltezana Bay|Maltezana Bay]] (Μαλτεζάνα, Αστυπάλαια) 36°34.5′N, 26°23.2′E in remote island of Astypalea.
  4. The fourth leg takes you 62 nM WNW from Maltezana Bay to Port Ios/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BIos.23Port_Ios.7CPort_Ios.5D.5DHarbour icon Port Ios [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Port Ios|Port Ios]] (Ίος) 36°43.4′N, 25°16.1′E in the island of Ios in the Cyclades.
  5. From Port Ios you sail NW for 33 nM to the very secure anchorage of Port Vathi/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BSifnos.23Port_Vathi.7CPort_Vathi.5D.5DAnchorage icon Port Vathi [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Port Vathi|Port Vathi]] (Βαθύ, Σίφνος) 36°55.7′N, 24°41.2′E in the island of Sifnos.
  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/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BSerifos.23Koutala_Bay.7CKoutala_Bay.5D.5DWorld icon.png Koutala Bay [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Koutala Bay|Koutala Bay]] (Κουτάλα, Σέριφος) 37°07.9′N, 24°27.4′E in the island of Serifos then,

    2. With stronger winds continue in a westerly direction,
      1. sail 87 nM WNW to Leonidio/wiki/Passages_between_Athens_Region_and_Rhodes_-_Marmaris#.5B.5BPorts_of_NE_Peloponnese.23Leonidio.7CLeonidio.5D.5DWorld icon.png Leonidio [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Leonidio|Leonidio]] (Λεωνίδιο) 37°08.7′N, 22°53.61′E in NE Peloponnese and then,
