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
Alexander 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.
