The aim of this paper is to construct "special" isogenies between K3 surfaces, which are not Galois covers between K3 surfaces, but are obtained by composing cyclic Galois covers, induced by quotients by symplectic automorphisms. We determine the families of K3 surfaces for which this construction is possible. To this purpose we will prove that there are infinitely many big families of K3 surfaces which both admit a finite symplectic automorphism and are (desingularizations of) quotients of other K3 surfaces by a symplectic automorphism. In the case of involutions, for any n∈ℕ>0 we determine the transcendental lattices of the K3 surfaces which are 2n:1 isogenous (by a non Galois cover) to other K3 surfaces. We also study the Galois closure of the 22:1 isogenies and we describe the explicit geometry on an example.
