Suggested 7 & 14 Day Sailing Itineraries:
Please note that the number of days and the type of yacht you choose will determine the itinerary that is possible. For example if you charter a sailing yacht, you will need at least one week to really make your trip enjoyable and have enough time to see a few islands. The average sailing time between islands is 5 hours with a sailing yacht, 3 hours with a motor sailer and 2 hours or less with a motor yacht. Please choose one of the sailing areas from the table above to look at suggested itineraries and read through the tips below.
Cyclades Islands, southeast from Athens...including islands such as Kea, Syros, Mykonos, Paros, Santorini.
Saronic Islands and the Coast of Pelopponesus south of Athens...including the islands of Poros, Hydra and Spetses and the wonderful mainland stop of Monemvasia.
Northern Sporades northeast from Athens...including Skiathos and Skopelos. Ionian islands on the west coast of Greece, including Corfu and Ithaca.
Dodecannese Islands near the coast of Turkey, including Rhodes, Patmos and Kos
.
For 7 days, we advise the Saronics and Peloponnesian coast......or possibly combining some of the Cyclades with the Saronic Islands. For more than 7 days,
your options widen to include the Cyclades. The Northern Sporades are best done from Athens with 14 days as are the Ionian Islands. The Dodecannese Islands are best covered by starting in the Dodecannese and can be done with 7 or more days although including a sail across from Athens is fun and
interesting. One-way charters are possible too.
Our Travel associates are ready and able to help you plan fantastic side trips. These can include several days stay on an island, such as Santorini or Crete and several days touring the intriguing, mountainous mainland
of Greece. Examples are Meteora' s monasteries high on pinacles of rock or Metsovo's lovely traditional village, or the area where Alexandria the Great was born and lived and the ruins left behind. There are so many places to see in Greece that years of traveling wouldn't suffice.
