The main goal of this route is to minimize exposure to headwinds and maximize the use of sails.

Introduction
The SE passage from the Athens Region to Rhodes and Marmaris is long and easy with predominately favorable winds and plenty of stopover opportunities.
The opposite NW passages from Rhodes and Marmaris to the Athens Region with predominately contrary winds are harder, longer, and with longer distances between possible stopovers.
Climate & Weather Information
See Aegean Weather.
Weather Windows
In general, the best sailing in the Aegean Sea is during the period from late May to mid October. But this does not preclude earlier in the Spring or later in the Autumn. Sailing in the winter months can be problematic due to stronger, more volatile, and less predictable weather.
Communication
See Aegean Sea.

Route/Suggested Stopovers
SE Going to Rhodes & Marmaris
A good portion of this passage is similar to the Southern Route East Going of the Passages between Athens Region and Samos - Kusadasi.
- The first convenient stopover is Fikiada [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Fikiada|Fikiada]] (Φικιάδα) 37°24.7′N, 24°23′E in Kythnos which is 44 nM WNW from Kalamaki Marina [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Kalamaki Marina|Kalamaki Marina]] 37°54.7′N, 23°42.0′E or 78 nM from the Isthmia, Corinth Canal [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Isthmia, Corinth Canal|Isthmia, Corinth Canal]] 37°54.96′N, 23°0.61′E . For alternative stopovers see Southern Route East Going.
- The second attractive stop is Finikas [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Finikas|Finikas]] (Φοίνικας) 37°23.68′N, 24°52.7′E in Syros which is 33 nM SW from Fikiada.
- From Finikas sail W 21 nM to the delightful South Bay [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#South Bay|South Bay]] (Ρήνεια) 37°23′N, 25°14.3′E of the uninhabited little island of Rhinia.
- Then, sail SE to Dendro, Donousa [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Dendro, Donousa|Dendro, Donousa]] (Δέντρο) 37°05.7′N, 25°48.2′E which is 33 nM from Rhinia.
- And from Donousa sail SSE 15 nM to Aegiali [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Aegiali|Aegiali]] (Αιγιάλη) 36°54.2′N, 25°58.5′E in Amorgos.
- From Aegiali a nice 28 nM E sail brings you to the delightful little island of Levitha [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Levitha|Levitha]] (Λέβιθα) 37°0.14′N, 26°28.06′E , inhabited by a single family.
- From Levitha sail SE 41 nM to the uninhabited small island of Yiali [[Passages between Athens Region and Rhodes - Marmaris#Yiali|Yiali]] (Γυαλί) 36°39.87′N, 27°07.72′E .
