Akrogiali Bay
Located on the Dodecanese route, typically among the small islets near Leros or Kalymnos, Akrogiali Bay features crystal-clear shallow waters befitting its name, which means "seashore." For yacht charter guests, it offers a quiet and peaceful anchoring point completely away from mass tourism. On blue cruise itineraries, this bay resembles a natural pool with its turquoise water and white sandy bottom, making it perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts. In this spot known for its untouched nature, you can relax in peace on your boat or crown your day with fresh daily seafood at the small, rustic local establishment on the shore.

Captain's Note
“"Bring your snorkel mask even for a quick dip. The water is so clear you’ll feel like you are floating in liquid glass above a hidden world."
