The Dodecanese Islands are Greek but geographically lie close to the turquoise coast of Turkey and as such have a rich history and culturally are a blend of eastern and western traditions.
The group is made up of fifteen main islands and a number of other tiny islets with beautiful scenery and beaches. Given the sheer number of islands, island hopping on a small ship cruise is a very popular way to see as much of the Dodecanese as you can in one visit. Although don't be surprised if you find yourself hooked and coming back again and again, these islands are addictive. The true charm of the Dodecanese lies in the sheer variety that can be found here.
Blue cruises in Kos are a great way to experience the beauty of the Greek Islands. Kos is located in the Dodecanese region of Greece. The magnificent historical monuments of Ottoman, Byzantine, and Venetian periods await their guests in all their splendor. Kos is a modern tourist destination with its historical artifacts. Also with its most spectacular beaches, restaurants, beaches, and nightlife. The world-famous Hippocrates Tree is at the center of Kos Island. It is one of the most important symbols of the island. Hippocratic, considered the father of doctors in mythological times. Hippocratic, showed that we can make human treatment with education and established a medical center called Asklepion here. Today, doctors come to Kos Island to feed Hippocrates.

We will cruise to Patmos Island early in the morning. We will have a swimming break in a bay around the island. Patmos is not a big island, but it is one of the best known. It was here that St. John completed the last part of 'The Apocalypse of John', and this is why Patmos is sometimes called Chora and actually the whole island breathes of faith and devotion. According to mythology, Patmos was a present from Zeus to his daughter Artemis, goddess of hunting and young women. She was worshiped here in antiquity, and the monastery of St. John was built on her temple. You may have an optional tour to these places.
