Island Hopping
The islands of the Aegean Sea offer something different for everyone. There are islands that are cosmopolitan and luxurious and there are others that are pure and pristine with exotic beaches of timeless beauty. And, as you sail between them all, you can experience a whole variety of landscapes and cultures.
A yacht sailing adventure in the Aegean offers you the opportunity to visit multiple islands at your own pace. You can take the time to explore one island in depth and get a feel for its culture or you can hop between islands to see the highlights of each region in just a few days.
Sailing trips like this are ideal during the spring, when temperatures have risen but summer crowds have yet to appear. It’s a perfect way to see the most popular island-hopping stops of Mykonos, Santorini and Hydra without the mass of tourists.
With a yacht, the cost of your trip includes your cabin accommodation, all meals onboard and a skipper to manage the boat. Plus, it costs less than the same itinerary would cost if you were booking your own ferry and hotel overnights.
Snorkelling
Sailing and snorkelling can make for a great combination in the Lesser Cyclades. The islands are all close together and you can explore a new island – and a different dive site – every day. The underwater landscapes are truly magical – caves, rock formations, shipwrecks and amazing marine life await you.
Snorkelling is a water sport that involves exploring the seabed through the use of a mask, snorkel and breathing tube. It’s a very simple activity that is safe and accessible for all ages.
Responsible snorkelling companies usually provide a short safety briefing before diving and it’s important to listen to the instructor’s guidelines. They know the surroundings intimately and can offer insights into what’s on view that you may not be aware of.
You’ll have a good chance to see sea turtles, sea eagles and dolphins on your snorkelling adventures in Greece. After swimming and relaxing at Kambi beach you’ll sail a short distance to Fourni for more snorkelling, a dip in the warm waters of a secluded cove and an optional stop in one of the local seafood tavernas.
Diving
The crystalline blue waters of the Aegean Sea are a magnet for marine life. Discover awe-inspiring dive spots and explore the teeming world beneath the sea while island-hopping on a luxury yacht.
Unlock the treasures of Greece’s ancient civilization while sailing around the fabled Cyclades. With a local skipper to guide the way, enjoy a leisurely cruise and explore the less-visited islands. This ten-day seafaring adventure is perfect for history buffs and water lovers who want to explore the pristine waters of this iconic region.
In the Lesser Cyclades, you’ll find pine-wooded and rocky gems like Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos. The distances between islands are negligible and the marine traffic is low, making it possible to discover a new enchanting diving spot every day.
Among the most spectacular diving spots are the two flooded cities of Pavlopetri and Olous, where streets and structures from a forgotten era lie intact underneath the waves. And when night falls, the underwater domain experiences a magical metamorphosis as nocturnal creatures come to life. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Fishing
With the Mediterranean’s calm turquoise waters, an abundance of islands, and a laidback way of life, it’s no wonder that Greece is one of the world’s most sought-after yacht charter destinations. On this ten-day seafaring adventure, explore the lush Saronic Gulf and world-famous Cyclades with an expert skipper.
Island-hop around the crystalline waters of the Small Cyclades. Discover white villages that cling to cliffs and soak up island living with a feast of fresh seafood at a sleepy waterfront taverna. Or, witness the awe-inspiring sight of the caldera at Santorini, where the sun plunges into the sea and light up the water’s turquoise hues.
This cruising route is ideal for novice sailors, thanks to steady and predictable afternoon breezes. It also offers plenty of opportunity to dive, snorkel and swim in secluded bays. Plus, there are a plethora of historic towns to visit and countless beaches. All of this is possible because of the unique geography of the region, surrounded by Mount Pelion, a mountainous peninsula that funnels gentle winds into the calm Pagasitikos Gulf.
Wine Tasting
Sail into a dreamworld of ancient myths and mystical beauty aboard a luxury yacht. Unwind on pristine beaches, discover evocative ruins and indulge in delicious cuisine. The enchanting islands of the Aegean will leave an indelible mark on your heart.
Sailors love Greece for its temperate climate, steady and predictable winds, sheltered bays, beautiful islands, spectacular sunsets and stunning views. The sheltered island groupings of the Cyclades, Dodecanese and Sporades have their own distinct charms.
On the Peloponnese coast, meet leading winemakers and sample a selection of their superb native grape varieties such as crisp Assyrtiko and Athiri. Then head to Santorini, where a magical sunset evokes the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
The Eastern Aegean’s Samos is famous for its religious sites and awe-inspiring moonscape views but its inland mountains are covered with aromatic pine forests and terraced vineyards, the original home of the Muscat grape. Afterwards, sail to Tinos, a new wine hotspot whose Assyrtiko and Malagousia wines are among the finest in the world. And on Santorini, hike to the iconic clifftop village of Imerovigli for awe-inspiring vistas.
