Day 2: Island Symi (approx. 10km/6miles)

Sailing to Symi. The entrance to the port is an unforgettable impression of your journey: neo- classical, pastel coloured houses emboss the picture of the island capital and refer to the rich history of the island. You have the opportunity to try our bicycles and take a first swim in the Aegean sea during a small cycle tour to a beach. In the early evening a tour guide walk with you to the upper town of Symi where we have to climb 500 steps. A breathtaking view to the port and its deep indented bay reward this climb - with some luck we can experience an unforgettable sunset.

Day 3: Island Symi - Island Nissyros (approx. 25km/16miles)

In the morning you get started to reach the other side of the island. On a winding road you slowly crest the mountain while having lots of time to enjoy the many beautiful panoramic views. Final destination is the bay of Panormitis. Its same named monastery of the archangel Michael invites for a visit. If weather conditions are fine, the boat takes you in the afternoon to the volcano island of Nissyros.

Today’s cycle tour on Nissyros guides you to Nikia which is a village directly built at the edge of the crater in 1400 ft./ 430 m height. From here you can enjoy a fascinating view into the volcano crater.  Not only the volcano but also the white houses and the numerous mosaics made pebble will truly amaze you. When you arrive at the village square you should not miss to try a Greek coffee. From here we cycle on to the crater with its steaming sulphur springs and finally back to the small port town of Mandraki – its charm has attracted visitors for centuries. In the afternoon the Bahriyeli moves on to Chalki where you can relax and enjoy the rest of the evening with the idyll of a real Greek fishing port.

Day 5: Island Rhodes, Plimiri - Lindos (approx. 35 km/ 22 miles)

The morning will be spent on board during the cross over from Plimiri to the Island of Rhodes. From here you cycle close to the coast on roads with light traffic. During a break in a café directly on the sea you might see the Bahriyeli passing and awaiting you later on in Lindos. This village is one of the most beautiful ones on Greece. After the last ascent you can enjoy an unforgettable view to this small town with its cubic houses and narrow alleys- overtopped by its mightful acropolis.

Day 6: Island Rhodos, Lindos - Kolymbia- Rhodes town (approx. 37 km/23 miles)  

Today your tour leads you from Lindos into the fertile, agricultural used hinterland of Rhodes. You cycle through old olive tree groves on small side roads on to Archangelos where a typical Greek tavern invites for lunch. Your boat awaits you at the end of an impressing eucalyptus alley in the tiny port of Kolymbia to bring us to Rhodes town. The rest of the afternoon you can stroll through the fantastic medieval old town.

Day 7: Island Rhodes, Rhodes town - Marmaris (approx.10 km/6miles by bike, and approx. 2 hrs by foot) 

After breakfast you go on a discovery tour by bicycle and by foot. You will be guided through the 2.400 years old history of the islands capital. The deer and the doe at the entrance of the  Mandraki port offer a first photo theme. Maybe this was the place where ones upon a time the Colossus of Rhodes was placed? Further on you pass the moat of the crusader town and its imposing walls. They still glamorise Rhodes with a distinctive character. A stroll through the countless alleys with its many impressive buildings is an unforgettable experience. Afterwards the Bahriyeli cruises over to Marmaris - again some time is offered to stroll along the bazaar or visit a typical Turkish hammam. The last evening aboard takes place traditionally and includes the communal dinner and a last get-together in a cosy atmosphere with crew and tour guides.
