Authentic Greece sailing cruise

Day 1 Athens-Piraeus

Ten kilometres southwest of central Athens, Piraeus is dazzling in its scale, its seemingly endless quays filled with ferries, ships and hydrofoils. While technically its own city, it melds into the Athens sprawl, with close to half a million people living in the greater area.

The most attractive quarter lies east around Zea Marina and Mikrolimano harbours. The latter is lined with cafes, restaurants and bars often filled with people who've disembarked from their yachts for the day.

Day 2 Syros

Sitting in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Syros is a mixture of Cycladic and Venetian architecture. Just imagine whitewashed houses blending with colorful mansions and big churches, surrounded by the Cycladic nature. Dreamy, right? Ideal for families and couples who seek a romantic, yet laid-back holiday destination, Syros has an elegant and nostalgic vibe that enchants every visitor.

Ermoupoli, the capital of Syros island and also the orthodox town of Syros, is an architectural gem! Colorful mansions, neoclassical buildings, imposing orthodox churches and squares, create the most postcard-perfect place in Syros! For a dip into the culture of Ermoupolis, visit the Town Hall building, which was created by Ernst Ziller, Apollo Theater and Pallas cinema.

Taste the famous cheese of Syros, San Mihalis in Ai Mihalis. 

Day 3.1 Delos

Here you will find numerous ancient monuments at the vast area of Archaeological sites that takes a big part of the island’s territory, featuring many temples, maisons, statues, Agora of the Competaliasts and the Ancient Theatre. 

Day 3.2 Mykonos

Mykonos is the great glamour island of Greece and flaunts its sizzling St-Tropez-meets-Ibiza style and party-hard reputation. It is the island of modern-day celebrities and not the island of spirits of the past. Sharon Stone and Brad Pitt, Madonna and Mike Jagger, Gina Lollobrigida and Sofia Loren visit quite often– this is a holiday! Enjoy!

Mykonos is the jumping-off point for the archaeological site of the nearby island of Delos.

Mykonos is home to Vioma Organic Farm - a unique farm-to-table experience. It also acts as an organic farm with animals. It prides with organic classical wines rested in oak barrels and provides guided bicycle tours.

Other notable diners include Farma restaurant, Mykonos’ first farm-to-table restaurant, and Kiki's Tavern, where you can snap a sneaky delightful meal at the best traditional Greek diner on the island. 

Day 4 Naxos

The largest of the Cyclades, Naxos packs a lot of bang for its buck. Its main city of Hora (known also as Naxos) has a gorgeous waterfront and a web of steep cobbled alleys below its hilltop kastro, all filled with the hubbub of tourism and shopping. You needn't travel far, though, to find isolated beaches, atmospheric mountain villages and ancient sites.
Naxos was a cultural centre of Classical Greece and Byzantium, and Venetian and Frankish influences also left their mark.

Its high mountains form rain clouds, and consequently Naxos is more fertile and green than most of the other Cyclades islands. It produces olives, grapes, figs, citrus fruit, corn and potatoes.

Visit Koufopoulos cheese making factory. Snack for the day in the capital of the island at this unique spot. Other peculiarities include Vallindras citrus distillery, Eggaron Olive Oil Mill and Museum, where you can get filled with many aromas and tastes, and Limpertas Manolis ceramic workshop, where you can snap yourself a souvenir and learn a few things. 

Day 5 Ikaria

Located on the Eastern Aegean sea, Ikaria is one of the worldwide famous Greek Islands, mainly due to the longevity of its inhabitants and the Ikarian diet.

Its natural beauty is a standout, too, as the wild beauty of Ikaria is breathtaking. Rocky mountains, dramatic gorges, hiking trails, mesmerizing beaches, and rural villages set the scene of a dreamy holiday destination, especially for nature lovers!

Visit Christos Raches village filled with worry-free optimism, relaxing pace, outdoor work and Ikarian diet.

Afianes Winery possesses views of the hillsides of the Chalari canyon. Featuring include thorough tasting classes, plus the estate hosts events. Unique local Ikarian wines. 

Trek through old stone bridges through the Gorge of Halari - verdant place with small lakes, narrow rivers, and waterfalls.

Day 6 Andros

Andros Chora, the island's capital, is a mixture of Venetian, Byzantine and Ottoman architecture. Palaiopolis, the ancient capital of Andros, the prehistoric Plaka settlement and Zagora settlement are must-visits.

The natural beauty of this verdant island is divine! The hiking paths that cross Andros Greece, will give you the chance to explore its lush vegetation.

Reach the Stenies village – a true specimen of Cyclades architecture, it is embellished with captain mansions, wall fountains and a deserted pasta factory. 

View the remnants of the market, theater, sunken agora and pier in the ancient capital Paleopolis. 

Traditional village of Paleokastro will geet you with stone houses, cobbled paths, flowery gardens, climbing vines, windmills, and chapels. 

And don't forget to taste Andros specialties like fourtalia (omelette with cheese, potato and sausage), labriatis (Easter dish of marinated stuffed goat) and kaltsounia (sweet made with honey). 

Day 7 Tinos

Day 8 Athens-Piraeus
