Sailing out of Kos

The playground: the Dodecanese crossroads, between Kalymnos, Pserimos, the Nisyros volcano and the Bodrum coast opposite. Starting point: the Kos marina, one of the best-equipped in the Aegean.

The wind to know

Upwind or down, reckon with a meltemi channelled between the islands, stronger in the passes than at anchor: that is what draws the local routes.
