The Chora is picturesque and beautiful; with high and colourful sea captains mansions lining the waterfront while a stark grey hill rises in the background. Between the mansions are narrow streets with taverns and shops, where the foreigners gather after they reach the small port of this charming island. Hydra is also blessed by the absence of motorcars.

SPETSES: is furthest from Athens. Charming horse-drawn carriages are the form of travel in style, as cars are not allowed on the cobbled streets.

The capital Argostoli is where the sea pours into spectacular swallow holes (Katavothres) and disappears endlessly into subterranean tunnels forming a rare geological phenomenon.

SYMI: A small mountainous island renowned for its sponge divers and also for its shipbuilders was reputed to be the birthplace of the Three Graces. While its interior is punctuated with small valleys, its coastline alternates between being steep and rocky or sandy and indented with little coves. In antiquity it bore the names "Aigli" and "Metapontis" It took its present name from the nymph "Syme" who was Poseidon's wife.

Small distances, ideal for walks through nature, paths and shortcuts all lead to the nearby castle, the chapels, the ever-clean beaches.

PATMOS: Rising sharply from the sea, Patmos is composed of three masses of volcanic rock connected by narrow strips of land. The approach to the harbour and village of Skala is up a long, narrow inlet watched over by the great medieval monastery of St. John the Divine, visible from all points at sea, and which draws thousands to Patmos every year. The monastery houses the body and shrine of the founder, the XI Century Saint Christodoulos and a magnificent library of ancient manuscripts. Below, on the hillside, and marking the site where by tradition St. John received the word of God, is the Church of the Apocalypse (Revelation). From the monastery roof, dramatic views range far into the Aegean and over Asia Minor. Patmos is one of the most remarkable medieval sites in all Greece and not to be missed by the traveller in the Dodecanese.

FOURNOI: At the top of the "triangle" formed by the islands of Samos, Ikaria and Patmos, these tiny islands - with merely total 1.400 inhabitants most of whom preoccupy themselves with fishing - are the next stop of our cruise.

Plane trees, springs, and neoclassical buildings coexist harmoniously with modern elements at Karlovassi. Gorgeous beaches at Kokari, pebbled ones at Potami, busy ones at Tsamadou and the best one on the island at Chrissi.
