This seems like a rather easy question, but yet there is no simple answer to it. Naturally, the most popular time to be on a gulet cruise in the Dodecanese islands is often when the weather is nicest in high season but doesn’t mean it will be best for you. However, we’ll explain in more detail for each period the advantages so you can easily decide what sounds best for you and your budget.
1. Cruising the Dodecanese islands in May or October
If you decide to charter gulet and go on an adventure to the Dodecanese islands during May or October you can expect a bit chilly weather in the morning and evening but during the day you will be pleasantly kissed by the sun rays. We always advise bringing a pair of long sleeves so you can stroll around islands in the evenings without getting cold. You will still be able to enjoy swimming and sunbathing.
However, the biggest benefit of traveling at this time is the fact you will be able to escape from the crowd and mass tourism. Your days will be a bit shorter but full of activities. Because days are not as hot, you can do so much more outdoor activities and make good use of the day. Explore and enjoy the beauty of sightseeings but keep in mind that some of the sightseeings can be still closed or already turned into the winter schedule. It is always a good idea to double-check.

2. Cruising Dodecanese islands in June or September
In June or September are another beautiful months to visit the Dodecanese islands. In June you can observe how the islands are slowly waking up from the winter sleep. Everything is blooming and awakening.
Everyone is expecting the tourists and the summer season. The excitement is contagious and streets are filled with good vibes. The weather is warming up and also the sea. Since the islands are situated in the open sea it does take a bit more to warm up for comfortable swimming. But the sun is on its full power so don’t worry.
In contrast with June, in September the power of the sun is slowly turning off but the temperature of the sea is still warm and fantastic. In September, you can observe how everything is slowly closing down and you can see people slowing down. But don’t worry, people here are devoted to tourism and they will not let you down. Yes, they are in the expectations of closing the season, but they know they still have a lot in front. Their main goal is to make you happy and come again next year.
