This was the absolute best trip ever. Ive traveled many times. I have to say this was one of the best experiences and adventures of all. Our skipper, Rita was simply amazing. The best! Wonderful skipper, skilled sailor, knowledgeable, so friendly, helpful, genuinely caring of her boat mates. Shes a dream to sail with! If anyone sails, Id highly recommend requesting her.
Overall it was an amazing experience combining the exploration of several beautiful Greek islands with the excitement of travelling on a yacht . The guests on board all worked together well to help sail the yacht under the careful eye and patient tuition of Captain Phil
Sail through the gorgeous Greek Islands on a ten-day seafaring adventure around the Cyclades. Setting off from Santorini, you’ll cruise the Aegean Sea in search of ancient towns, secluded coves and holiday hotspots like Mykonos and Paxos. Throw in some freshly caught seafood, local wines and a laidback way of life, and you’re set to drift and roll to the patterns of the ocean. Cool off with regular swims in turquoise seas and get the lay of the land from a local leader who’s got all the people in the right places.
This Greece Islands sailing adventure was so memorable! It exceeded all of our expectations, every day sailing to explore a different island and experience local culture and food as well as gain knowledge about the history and culture of the region. Our skipper CEO Mack was highly knowledgeable about the region and very passionate about sailing as well as sharing his knowledge and providing opportunities for each of us to learn and experience it for ourselves. Our only recommendation is for G Adventures to include more information about the need to pay in cash at restaurants and establishments in the Greek islands (Euros). We thought we would be using our credit card for dinners but learned we really needed to have cash instead.
Spend eight sun-kissed days island-hopping, swimming and hiking your way through the Cyclades. Kick things off in the port town of Lavrio near Athens, then set sail across the Aegean on a private yacht. Dropping anchor at some of Greece's lesser-known islands, you’ll hike through sleepy villages and along craggy cliffs, share a homemade dinner with a local family in Syros and uncover the stories of ancient civilisations on the UNESCO-listed Delos. With an experienced skipper leading the way, daily sea dips and plenty of free time to soak up the slower rhythm of island life, this is the Cyclades at their best.
Spend eight salty-skinned days sailing, hiking and swimming your way through some of the lesser-known Cyclades. Starting in lively Mykonos, you’ll cruise the sparkling Aegean Sea aboard a private yacht and drop anchor at islands that seem unchanged by time. Hike to a clifftop castle in Kythnos, share a homemade dinner with a local family in Syros and unearth the stories of legendary gods and ancient civilisations on the UNESCO-listed Delos. With a passionate skipper at the helm, daily swims and plenty of free time to enjoy the Cyclades’ laidback pace, this is Greek island hopping done right.
