About the itineraries
Sail at a relaxed pace around lesser-known Greek islands. Many aren't possible to reach by plane, and sometimes even by ferry. The captain will make swim stops at secret beaches and hidden coves en route.
Choose your favourite of four itineraries:
- Sail from Corfu's Old Port to explore the northern highlights of the Ionian Islands. You'll stop at tiny, unspoilt Antipaxos, the horseshoe-shaped bay of Lakka, and quiet mainland villages like Sivota and Parga.
- Sail from Kos Marina into the heart of the Dodecanese. Explore near-uninhabited islands like Levitha, which has a handful of residents and a single taverna. Other stops include Lipsi, Kalymnos, and Patmos.
- Sail from Rhodes Harbour to the Southern Dodecanese. Visit Chalki, the smallest inhabited island in the whole island chain, and Symi, which has a beautiful monastery. Other stops include mountainous Tilos and Anthony Quinn Bay.
- Sail from Zante's Old Port to the central Ionian Islands. Mix serene, remote islands like Meganisi with busier villages like Fiskardo. You'll also visit Ithaca, the legendary home of Odysseus.
Ship details
You'll cruise on a sailboat carrying 12 to 22 passengers, along with the captain and a small crew. The ships are motor-powered, but can be supplemented with sails when the weather allows.
Breakfast is included, and comes with tea and coffee. Lunch is served buffet-style, and usually covers Greek classics like moussaka and souvlaki. Dinners aren't included, but the ship stays the evening in port. That means you can eat out at local restaurants every night.
The captain sails at a relaxed pace, with plenty of stops for swimming. The top deck has lots of space for sunbathing and watching the world go by. Cabins all have a private en-suite bathroom with a shower. Wi-Fi is free when in port.
