About this trip
Fifteen days sailing from Athens to Santorini aboard a 56ft yacht, working your way through the Greek islands at a relaxed pace. This is island hopping done by boat rather than ferry timetables, so you wake up somewhere new without the usual faff of transfers.
Days mix time on deck with time ashore — wandering archaeological sites, tavern-lined harbours and whitewashed backstreets, then sitting down to proper Greek food and wine. There's plenty of built-in downtime too, whether that's stretched out on Mykonos' beaches or just lying on deck watching the coastline go by.
What you'll do
- Sail between the Greek islands aboard a 56ft yacht
- Explore ancient archaeological sites and harbour towns
- Eat at traditional Greek tavernas along the way
- Wander the whitewashed streets of the island towns
- Spend time on Mykonos' beaches
- Finish the voyage in Santorini
- Easy-paced trip with plenty of time to relax on deck rather than a packed itinerary
- Fully guided, so the sailing and logistics are handled for you
Worth it if you're a confident sailor or don't mind tight quarters and physical conditions. Think twice if you need structured activities or have dietary restrictions.
- Skipper quality makes or breaks it; standout guides like Luka create genuine friendships across age gaps.
- Boat accommodation is cramped and conditions rough; some travellers unhappy with confined living despite loving sailing itself.
- Catering multiple dietary requirements on a boat is awkward; expect to tip your skipper separately on top of tour cost.
- Athens-Mykonos week reportedly better value than full 15 days; bring warm layers and proper walking shoes year-round.
