Sailing

A massive sailing hub

As if Kos wasn’t already blessed enough, the sun shines 3,000 hours or 250 days a year, pairing with the Aegean breeze for what’s known as a mediterranean climate. But it’s the world class sailing waters, strategic location, numerous anchorages, easy access and unnumbered serene bays that draw yachtsmen and sailors alike.

The island’s strategic location right in the middle of the Dodecanese Islands along with the top-level marina of Kos that offers more than 265 berths, make it impossible not to consider Kos as a starting point for sailing trips. In fact, the marina of Kos is awarded with a Blue Flag, attracting and hosting more than 4.000 boats annually from across Europe and the rest of the world. Due to Kos’ convenient position in the Aegean archipelago amidst diverse neighbouring islands and recently renovated International airport, Kos has been an ideal destination for sailing holidays for many decades now. The mild climate, crystalline waters, easy access and plenty of anchorages, are some of its strongest comparative advantages.

Whether you choose to travel on the north or the south side, you will get to take pleasure in exceptional sailing routes, as the Dodecanese islands offer excellent cruising waters and several secluded bays. Within a close distance, sailors are able to reach both popular and remote islands, such as Kalymnos, Pserimos, Leros, Patmos, Leipsoi, Nisyros, Rhodes, Symi, TIlos or Halki. Not only do you get to enjoy flexible routes, avoid the crowds and explore the Aegean’s hidden gems, but also reconnect with nature as much as yourself. Either you are a skilled sailor or never stepped foot on a boat before, Kos offers all sorts of boats for rent. Book a sailing trip, with or without a skipper, and may you have fair winds and following seas!
