Marathos Island Anchorage

Marathos is one of only a handful of inhabited islets in the Lipsi cluster, which makes dropping anchor here feel like you've genuinely found somewhere off the radar. The islet sits in the southeastern Aegean among a scatter of some 30 islets, and the anchorage gives you a quiet, almost forgotten corner of the Dodecanese to yourself. Pop ashore to explore the tiny permanent community and get a real sense of how small Aegean island life actually works.
