| Kos Island |
The Dodecanese is a complex of over 163 islands and islets, of which only 26 are inhabited, situated at
the most eastern part of Greece, at the borders of Turkey and the rest of Europe. You will find here a wonderful blend of
architectural styles of eastern and western cultures. Almost every island has its Classical remains, its Crusaders’
Castle, and its traditional villages.
In addition to the Greek Islands, Turkey is only 5 nautical miles away from Kos so this wonderful country
with its varied coastline and culture is attractive to the visitor and awaits our exploration by luxury yacht. Our location,
therefore, must be among the best in Greece!
Our base is in Kos, one of the most beautiful of the Greek Islands...
Kos Marina is rated as one of the most impressive in Europe!
