→ What is this Greek sailing tour?
Spread over eight days, the Greek sailing tour is your chance to explore some stunning Greek islands, such as Hydra and Aegina, where you will be smitten by the endless summer days and the gloriousness of Greek food. Perfect for couples or millennials who wish to sail in the Mediterranean Sea, the trip starts from Athens.
→ Itinerary
From Athens, you will sail towards a small fishing village set in a pretty little bay called Perdika, where a fishing village tour awaits you. While stopping to swim several times, day 2 will take you to a vehicle-free destination, called Hydra. On day 2, you will explore the island, cathedrals and monasteries.
Day 3 will mark your welcome on Spetses Island. After a quick lunch, some leg stretching and swimming at Zogeria Bay, you will sail towards Plaka, the charming seaside town.
On day 4, you will enter Nafplio. Museums, restaurants and fortresses will keep you busy in this seaport town. Day 5 will take you back to Spetses for an overnight stay. Spetses is where your senses will come alive with the refreshingly warm air that carries the smell of the sea, along with freshly-baked pastries.
On day 6, you will enter Poros Island. Dotted with pine trees and fresh growing lemons, this island happens to be one of Greece’s well-kept secrets. Although a small island, its history, sights and beaches will compensate for its size. On day 7, you will head towards your last destination, Aegina. An island with clear blue waters and a great local vibe, Aegina is as postcard-perfect.
