The harbour of Kos is situated in the heart of the islands of the Dodecanese.

Setting out from this harbour greatly improves accessibility. It should be borne in mind that doing so involves two extra internal flights, and that it is advisable to spend a night in a hotel upon arrival on the island (Friday is the best day to arrive, in order to begin preparing on Saturday morning).

This harbour is used as a starting point for sailing among the islands of the Dodecanese.

Lavrion is a city in the southeast of Attica, and one of the most easterly ports, at 60 kilometres from Athens. The port lies in a bay with a view over the island of Makronisos.

Lavrion enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate. In summer the days are long and the temperatures high; very often a refreshing breeze blows in at the end of the day, especially in the coastal zone and in the north of the country. During the summer the temperatures in Lavrion can reach 42ºC, whereas the winters are mild in the south and colder in the north. The rains come from November to March.
