Iraklia is a 2018 Sun Odyssey 479 sailboat offering an ideal blend of comfort and performance for exploring the crystalline waters surrounding Kos. Based at Marina Kos in Greece, this 14.65-metre sailing yacht serves as your floating base for discovering the Dodecanese islands—a region celebrated for its dramatic coastlines, sheltered anchorages, and villages steeped in Hellenic charm. Whether you're sailing with family, a group of friends, or as a couple seeking an intimate escape, Iraklia accommodates up to ten guests across four well-appointed cabins, each with its own ensuite facilities.

Life aboard unfolds at a leisurely Mediterranean pace. The generously proportioned cockpit, shaded by a bimini and equipped with comfortable cushions, becomes your natural gathering place—ideal for morning coffee prepared in the galley's dedicated coffee station, or evening aperitifs as the sun descends toward distant horizons. A bow thruster and responsive 54 hp engine ensure confident maneuvering in tight anchorages and marina approaches, while the GPS chartplotter keeps navigation straightforward. The sprayhood provides shelter during unexpected squalls, and the tender with outboard motor opens access to remote beaches and hidden coves unreachable by larger vessels.

A typical week aboard blends active sailing with contemplative anchorages. You might spend mornings under full canvas, afternoons exploring whitewashed harbours, and evenings dining on fresh local catch in waterfront tavernas. The well-equipped galley with refrigeration allows you to provision with regional produce and wines, preparing meals that taste of the sea and sun. Four heads ensure comfort for your entire party, while the yacht's proven design delivers both stability and responsiveness whether conditions call for spirited sailing or gentle cruising.

Picture your final evening anchored off a quiet island, the water so clear you can see the seabed below, local fishing boats silhouetted against a burnt-orange sky, and the gentle clink of glasses as your group reflects on a week of unforgettable sailing through some of the Mediterranean's most treasured waters.
