Sample Itineraries
Cruising the Greek Islands

Cruising grounds
-The Saronic Gulf. (Close to Athens and Hydra) laid back and easily accessible.
-The Cyklades (Close to Myconos, Sandorini) brown white and blue, intense light, can be windy
-The Dodekanisa (Close to Rhodes, and Kos) picturesque architecture, not too rough
-The Ionian (Close to Corfu and Lefkada) Green and gentle, light winds

You can decide where to board the yacht, depending on the cruising grounds you pick. A combination of different areas and islands is also possible. We can tailor your vacation to your individual needs and desires.

Below we have outlined some different scenarios for your holiday adventure depending on what your personal preferences are. These are only suggestions and we can change them at any time depending on our mood and the mood of the weather.

Option No. 1
Most charter guests are quite happy sailing three to four hours a day maximum. The rest of the day is usually spent swimming and sightseeing or having a massage and relaxing. If this is you, then we would pick a scenario where the islands are close together.

Option No. 2
Some charter guests are quite happy to include one or two days of longer sailing, maybe six to eight hours. In that case we can visit some islands further away, like the Cyclades group, and spend our time in that area before returning to our base. This is a great option if you want the convenience of starting you're holiday from Athens, thus avoiding to have to catch a connecting flight to a Greek island.

Option No. 3
Some charter guests preferred to split their holiday time in Greece and spend part of it on a yacht and the other part in a hotel on an island. They may for instance charter for seven days and then spend three days on Mykonos or Santorini
In that case we sail a one-way trip to Mykonos, or any other island, and drop you off there. Please note that due to the logistics involved in this scenario a one-way fee off the €300 applies.

Option No. 4
Some charter guests prefer to have long sails and don't care too much about swimming and sightseeing. In that case we can criss-cross the Aegean for hours on end. We can stop on deserted anchorages overnight or party hard at the island's main harbors.

Starting points
You can start your holiday from different locations.
Athens is close to the cruising grounds of the Saronic golf and the to Cycladic islands off Kea, Kithnos, Serifos and Sifnos. Thus we can experience the variety of both of these two beautiful cruising grounds if we wish. On the other hand if we want to take it easy we just sail along the lovely Saronic Gulf. The great convenience of starting from Athens is that you do not have to catch another connecting flight before you can start your holyday..

Not everybody wants to start their charter holiday from Athens
If you would prefer to experience the island group called the Dodekanisa then it is best to start from Kos Island. The distance we would have to cover to get to this island group from Athens is quite long so it is more convenient to fly to Kos. From here the lovely islands off Leros, Kalimnos, Patmos, Simi and Rodos as well as numerous smaller islands with their lovely bays are at our fingertips.

Maybe you would love to exploit the gentler Ionian Islands. Again it is quite a long trip to get there from Athens, as it includes the passing of the Isthmus Canal in Corinth. It is far more advisable for you to arrive on Corfu Island or Lefkada Island. From there we can then explore the gentle Ionian Sea together visiting Ithaca, the home port of the Great Odysseus, as well as the lovely green island of Kefalonia with its picturesque anchorages. Further north there is Paxus Island. Towards the mainland of this archipelago they are numerous smaller islands also worth exploring.

Probably the most famous Greek islands are Mykonos and Santorini. These belong to an island group called the Cycladic islands. They can be reached from Athens via a long sail of about 10 hours but the trip may prove quite a challenge especially on the way back. This is it due to the local weather patterns in the summer. So if you are not a very keen sailor we suggest you meet us on the island of Siros. It is located at the centre of the Cyclades and is the gateway to the surrounding islands. Mykonos, Renia (the island on which Aphrodite was born), Delos (the island on which Apollo, her twin brother was born), Patmos, Naxos and numerous other islands are well within our cruising grounds here.
We hope that we have made it a little easier for you to get an idea of all the choices you have when you visit this beautiful holiday paradise. Please feel free to contact us if you have any more questions.
