All aboard - we're headed to paradise. Kicking things off in the ancient city of Athens, we'll head to our home for the next week - the cosy cabins of our typical cruising sailing vessel. As we glide through the glittering med, we'll paddle board and snorkel in the calm waters of Aegina harbour, explore the cathedrals and nightspots of Hydra, and kick back on the tranquil bays of Plaka. Then we'll get the party started on the postcard pretty isle of Aegina before heading back to Athens.

Itinerary

These islands aren't going to sail themselves! Board our yacht, meet your fellow sailors and get ready to drift out of Athens. You've heard it here first, this trip is made for those that love to chill, swim, eat and repeat while getting up on the water like a boss. All aboard, let's do this! We kick things off tonight in Perdika Harbour, an un-spoilt fishing spot seeped in traditional Greek lifestyle. Make the use of our stand-up paddle boards and ocean gear, then watch the sun set over a dinner feast.
Accommodation: Sailing

From one paradise to another, we wave goodbye to Perdika and make our way to a pristine island nestled between the Saronic and Argolic Gulf. We will be making plenty of swim stops to keep things cool, so lather up the sunscreen and perch on deck as we relax into the good life. Hollywood hangout Hydra is going to wow you with its natural beauty. A vehicle free destination, this is a great chance to stretch out those legs. Cathedrals, monasteries, fresh seafood, nightlife - don't expect a moment of boredom. Find a local nightspot, grab some eats, and pull on those dancing shoes.
Included Meals: Breakfast

The yachting life will feel all very perfect & natural this morning as we anchor up yet again & cruise the Med in search of our next destination. Plaka Leonidion calls us back to Greece's mainland for a day in which swimming in tranquil bays is high priority. This charming seaside town will make you wish you were of Greek heritage as you settle into life on deck once again, and work oh so hard on that magificent tan. Aaaaand, relax.
Included Meals: Breakfast

Plaka will leave us feeling all inspired by what the Greek coastline has on offer - so we'll stick to it! Making our way to Spetses little further in the bay.
Included Meals: Breakfast

Leaving Spetses behind this morning we're headed for another dreamy swim spot. Greece, you do spoil us. We'll stretch our limbs and cool down with a swim stop at St Aemilianus Bay, before journeying onto Ermioni. With its sloped hillsides and quaint port, Ernioni is a charming tumble of traditional architecture and natural beauty. We'll soak up the peaceful vibes ready for more adventures tomorrow.
Included Meals: Breakfast

Historical artifacts and long coastlines are just around the corner at our final destination before we head back to Athens. So long Poros! Apart from being jaw-droppingly beautiful and packed with history, this island is pretty as a picture, and offers all of the good things you've come accustomed to, like beach loungers, clear blue waters and local vibes that we know and love. What else do you need to know? Aegina knows how to throw a party. Which makes it the perfect spot for our final evening as posse on this trip. Our Captain will recommend a local spot to kick off this last night.
Included Meals: Breakfast

Our final sea journey onboard the boat that we have come to know as home. From Aegina we set sail for Athens, perhaps with a little tear in our eyes. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened! That's what the insta quotes say, right? Meh, maybe you should just book another trip to ease the pain…#NOREGRETS
Included Meals: Breakfast

Back on Athenian shores where the adventure commenced 8 days ago, we'll say our farewells & wrap up the trip. Dry those salty tears, and make sure you swap deets to plan your next sunny escape soon.

The Greek islands are very beautiful 2 , Australia, May 2013
This tour was great fun. The tour manager was really nice and friendly and everyone in the group was also really fun and always up for a good time. The cruise was very relaxing and all the ports we visited were great. The buffet meals were all pretty decent and for 80 euros, it was a great deal for unlimited drinks over the 4 days on the cruise. The read more optional activities were also very fun and interesting. The Greek islands are very beautiful. Would definitely recommend this to single travelers or even pairs or groups between ages 18-30!
