Welcome
to our Greek Islands Sailing Adventures!
Greece is SeaScape's original "home", where we
started our shareboat concept back in '91. Despite the fun
we've had expanding to other exotic destinations, we're
still in love with our home islands, and our wonderful local
friends who make all the difference to our clients by their
spontaneous, outgoing hospitality.Why the Dodecanese islands?
Firstly, because they are well off the usual "package
tour" routes, and so retain many of the Greek traditions
which are sadly now lost to the more well-known "touristy"
islands. If you'd prefer to stay within
sailing distance of McDonalds - choose an Athens charter
base, or visit the islands every has heard of (Mykonos,
Santorini, etc). But for those of us who would rather experience
a little of the "real" local culture, one has
to make a little more effort these days. We think it's worth
it.
Secondly,
we chose these islands for their prevailing wind conditions.
On average, 20-25 knots in midsummer; not too strong, as
it can be in the Cyclades (getting stuck in port is no fun!);
but plenty strong for some exciting sailingunlike
eg, the Ionian; very beautiful, but very little wind!
And
lastly, but certainly not least - we chose this family of
islands
for their ambience and community feeling - the wonderful
welcome which our local friends and "adopted families"
give to our SeaScape Sailors. One of our guests some years
ago gave us all one of the best compliments, when he wrote
in our Ship's Log:
"When
you sail with SeaScape, you never feel like just another
tourist".
We certainly hope not.
'Dodecanese"
means "Twelve Islands" - although there does seem
to be some dispute on whether there are actually 10, 12
or 20! They are a very diverse and idiosyncratic group of
islands; each one with an entirely different character to
the next. From the well-developed islands of Rhodes and
Kos; to the famous monastery island of Patmos (where St
John wrote the Book of Revelations); to tiny islets, still
only accessible by small boat.
They
are situated in the eastern Aegean - a 50 minute plane ride
away from Athens. Or ferry ride, for those with a little
more time (and an adventurous spirit!). Being somewhat off
the beaten track, the smaller islands have not - yet - lost
their unique ambiance; the traditional Greek spontaneity,
sense of fun, and community spirit still live on here.
