Your sailing trip
Sailing holiday with us in fantastic and secluded bays kissed by the sun, deep blue sea and new friends, pushed by the wind we'll discover these fabulous islands Ios, Schinoussa, Paros, Mykonos or Syros, Kea
A Greek island sailing tour is a unique and fun way of sailing Greece. 20 years ago we created the concept of sailing cruises by the cabin in Greece; sailing on a shared yacht with a skipper, crew and inclusive meals. Over the years we've honed our program and you can now join by the cabin or charter your own yacht and join as a flotilla. Young or old, our trip is for all ages and experience levels, you'll make new friends aboard or book as a group and sail with your friends. As long as you're adventurous, active and interested in seeing the wonders of Greece, then this is the trip for you.
Each day your Greek island adventure will have planned excursions to make for an unparalleled adventure. Our warm and experienced crew know every bay, classical temple and gourmet restaurant in the region.
Each day your Greek island adventure will have planned excursions to make for an unparalleled adventure. Our warm and experienced crew know every bay, classical temple and gourmet restaurant in the region.
Cabin on a 56-60ft monohull yacht. Non-alchoholic drinks with meals. Experienced crew - skipper and hostess. Cabin with private washroom. Unique cultural itinerary. Great sailing. Fun excursions and social activities. Wonderful restaurant guidance. See this historic, maritime nation made up of 4,500 island jewels set in five different cruising areas.
Each region is geographically different and the islands all have their own myths to tell, but all offer golden sandy beaches and the relaxed, warm hospitality only found in Greece.
A Greek charter offers so much more than a charter in other destinations - it is a cultural, journey through the cradle of western civilization. Sailing cruise to the emerald sea, the sun bleached stone and the thick green pine forest!!
Itinerary

*Prior to boarding the boat in Ios, we recommend a visit to the beautiful island of Santorini for a few days.

Day
3
Ios
Distance and sailing conditions: 15 miles – 2 hours. Motor thn close reach.
Highlights: After ferrying from Santorini to Ios and if the weather permits, venture further east to a small group of islands south of Naxos known in sailing circles as 'Les Petite Cyclades', with charming quiet coves, bays and beaches and little traffic. Sailing into the tiny fishing cove of Skinoussa there is room to dock a few yachts on the pier and a few in the tiny bay. What is special about this little known island, is the lovely beach across from the yachts, the tiny 'Chora' hilltop town of 147 inhabitants and a fabulous restaurant. After dinner the 15 minute walk down to the yacht is breath-taking with stars and constellations lighting your way and a peaceful silence all around except for the buzz of the cicadas.
Dinner: Deli taverna offers a divine meal with our host Dimitri, who explains the wonderful island produce from the delicious creamy goat cheese, sun dried tomato, arugula salads and the fabulous fava bean puree to the succenlent kalamari the fishermen bring in each day. The view is also remarkable, with the setting sun illuminating golden hills sloping to the sea and countless islands in the distance.
Day
4
Skinoussa
Distance and sailing conditions: 30 miles – 4.5 hours. This leg tends to be close hauled.
Highlights: If the weather is good in the morning, cross the narrow channel separating Skinoussa and Iraklia in search for a particular deserted bay to stop for a swim. What is not known to visitors is that the bay is the resting place of a WW ll German Messerschmitt aircraft, felled by the British in 1945. The plane is 10-12 meters down and can easily be seen from the surface in the crysral clear water. After a swim and some photos move on to the azure lagoon of Tigania for a second swim stop and lunch, then on to Paroikia town, Paros, for the night. Navigating the tricky 14ft deep passage between Paros and Andi Paros is always interesting, before arriving in Paroikia and exploring this charming sea-level harbor town. Visit the 4th-century Panagia Ekatontapyliani (Our Lady of a Hundred Doors). The oldest remaining Byzantine church in Greece has exceptional architecture, religious icons and an exquisite marble baptismal chamber. Wander the bougainvillea-fringed streets and check out a maze of shops offering fashion, jewelry and local handicrafts.
Dinner: Apollon Garden restaurant is beautifully set in an open-air atrium full of antiquites and is a guest favorite on the tour. A gourmet menu of local and international dishes includes Greek moussaka, lamb hock, tsoutsoukakia (meat balls in tomoato garlic sauce), wonderful Italian pastas as well as Norweigen grilled salmon. The chocolate soufflé dessert is not to be missed. There are numerous local pubs for a night-cap on the way back to the boats.
Day
5
Paros
Distance and sailing conditions: 20 miles – 2.5 hours. With typical northerlies this is a tack or a motor sail.
Highlights: An early departure allows a morning visit to sacred Delos, the most important archaeological and religious site of ancient Greece. Delos remains in an excellent state of preservation allowing you to wander through an amphitheatre, stadium, private palaces and Roman baths. Finish your exploration with a climb up sacred Mount Kythnos for a divine panoramic view of the Cycladic Islands. Eat lunch aboard followed by a swim in the clear waters of Delos channel.
Day
6
Syros
Distance and sailing conditions: 40 miles – 4.5 hours. Motor out of Ermoupolis then a tack to the North tip of Kea
Highlights: A longer more challenging passage, but if the conditions are right it is unforgettable. A late lunch and swim stop can be made in a bay on the south side of the island of Yiaros -Greece's Alcatraz. Making it to the little known island of Kea and the quaint harbor of Vourkari, walk around the bay to find the deserted ruins of a 3000 BC pre-historic settlement. A swim at a beautiful beach five minutes walk from the boats is a delightful way to relax before sunset.
Dinner: Vourkarion restaurant is a charming traditional Greek taverna which features exceptionally fresh meats, as the owner is a farmer. Greek delicacies such as lamb chops and mixed grill are served along with a huge range of Greek vegitarian speciallties as well. Aristos taverna, steps from the gangplank, is a sailor focal point and offers drinks and snacks as soon as we moor and can also provide dinner with their renowned lobster spaghetti.
Day

Kea

The fascinating archaeological museum is something else not to miss and can be visited on the way back to the bus. Sail across the Kea channel and arrive in Cape Sounion on the eastern tip of Attica, enjoy lunch and the last swim of the tour in the shadow of the famous Temple of Poseidon (440 BC).
Dinner: Arriving back at Alimos Kalamaki Marina in Athens, celebrate the end of tour with a toast in the cockpit and a meal at the Greek fusion restaurant Alimonaki, or a return to the larger Edem taverna for a farewell dinner.

Cruise activities and tips
Travel activities
Swimming and snorkelling
Each day there is a chance to swim and snorkel. The Med is not a tropical destination and therefore is not a diving destination as there is very little to see underwater. However snorkelling is a great way to explore the bays and the few brightly coloured fish. There are a limited masks and snorkels onboard so if you are an avid snorkellor it is best to bring your own.
