North Aegean Islands
North Aegean Islands
Itinerary
This route consists of three main islands, Thasos, with numerous emerald beaches, Samothraki
with its wild beauty and Limnos, the sandy and adventurous island.
Day One
Kavala is located 175 km east from Thessaloniki and also has it’s own airport (Megas Alexandros) 27 kilometers east. Our base is in the center of the city, where you can find plenty of shops, taverns and accommodation. You can spend your first night in our base or you can start your sailing adventure by hopping to Thasos Island (Limenas port,16nm).
DAY TWO
Thasos capital, Limenas, is a big port with plenty of space for alongside docking. You can visit many beautiful beaches from the North East side of Thasos (Marble, Golden beach, Makryammos, Porto Vathy) and swim in the emerald water of the island, before heading to Samothraki.
DAY THREE
Samothraki is 40 nautical miles southeast of Thasos. The usual north east wind (meltemi) which blows during summer months, makes the sailing conditions perfect. Samothraki has only one port where sailboats can dock, Kamariotissa. To properly explore Samothraki, renting a car and visiting the villages and the waterfalls is a must.
DAY FOUR & FIVE
Sailing 45 nautical miles south of Samothraki, you will find Limnos. The capital and main port is Myrina, where you can find water, electricity and many shops and taverns around the port. Due to the island’s big distances, we also suggest a car or motorbike rental, to explore the numerous beautiful beaches and sand dunes. There are also many protected beaches and bays such as Thanos beach, Platis gialos and a huge bay with a small port (Moudros). The bay of Moudros is one of the largest natural harbors of the Mediterranean
DAY SIX
After the exploration of Limnos, you have to sail back to the west side of Thasos to either Limenaria port, or Aliki bay, or Rosogkremos beach, for an overnight stay under the stars (52 nm). Limenaria is the newer port and the second biggest town of Thasos, where you can find water and many taverns all around, as long as the famous “loukouma” sweets, while Aliki and Rosogkremos , offer a quiet anchoring in crystal waters.
DAY SEVEN
Limenaria port is 20 nautical miles away from Kavala and Aliki beach is 30 nm, so you can enjoy the morning before returning to base, swimming and sailing around the area. Suggested places for swimming are Kefalas Bay, Tripiti and Maries (where there is also a dock and taverns).
