Itinerary
Day 1: Santorini
Arrival day. Join the group at 5pm for a welcome meeting and safety briefing before beginning the sailing adventure. Enjoy a night cap with your crew mates on the boat, or head out to explore Santorini by night.
Day 2: Santorini/Cyclades
Flexible itineraries give your experienced skippers the opportunity to showcase all the hidden gems you're looking for. We follow the desires of the group and tailor the sailing experience to provide each group a quality journey while on board.
While in the Southern Cyclades, stroll through the "most elegant square in Greece" on Syros. Head out on an optional all-day adventure with your fellow shipmates and skipper as you discover the best Naxos has to offer: the Temple of Dimitra, a microbrewery, views of Mt Zeus and a meal at a local tavern.
Uncover the beauty of the Venetian ruins in Paros before going cave exploring in Antiparos. While on Ios, relax on famous Magganari beach and don't forget to visit Homer's tomb. Walk and hike your way through the trails and paths of Sifnos before stopping at a local ceramic workshop.
No trip is complete without wandering around the breathtaking cliffside city of Hora and enjoying cocktails while the sun sets over the whitewashed buildings that scatter the landscape.
Day 3-6: Southern Cyclades
Possible island stops include: Folegandros, Sifnos, Ios, Antiparos, Paros, Naxos.
Day 7: Cyclades/Mykonos
Celebrate the arrival on Mykonos by visiting the iconic windmills and enjoying a cocktail on a veranda overlooking Little Venice. The beaches and nightlife add excitement to the picturesque island.
Day 8: Mykonos
Depart after breakfast.
If you would like extra time in Mykonos after your sailing journey is finished, we recommend booking extra time on the island.

The organization of the trip by G Adventures was excellent. The trip itself was a mixture of adventure and having a rest.

I love sailing, so I would recommend sailing the Greek Islands, but it's a lottery who you sail with and what the weather conditions will be!

I wouldn't want to put them through the disappointment of saving for years for a holiday of a lifetime to then be totally ruined by getting a grumpy, miserable and highly unpleasant skipper. Being on such a small boat this obviously had a large impact on the atmosphere and it was just awkward and uncomfortable. He would not stop moaning about the politics behind the trip and this made me feel unwelcome. I also found it was not very well organised and that they were trying to get more money out of us, such as day 1 we were told to get to a taverna on the other side of the island which cost £50 and then once we had met up (with no explanation) the said grumpy skipper piled us into a taxi and took us to the other side of the island. This made the £50 a waste as new location was very close to airport.

Pick up location was inconvenient & went straight past where we travelled from. The boat needed some TLC ie noisy showers pumps fridge broken pillows uncomfortable, door handle broken & even worse the outboard didn't start & we were asked to pay for transfers to shore 10euros for 2 minutes trip

The change in pick up location wasted our time and money. The boat was in poor condition including the dingy which meant we had to pay for transfers to the shore.

Lousy snorkel gear. Mask leaked? all of them. No flippers for small women. Ladder slanted inwards so hard to get up and into boat.
