7 NIGHTS, 8 DAYS, WESTERN CYCLADES GREEK SAILING ADVENTURE
One of the most famous archipelagos in the world, the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea have way more to offer than pristine beaches, crystal clear waters and amazing sailing experiences. They are the cradle of over ten millennia of rich history, boast extreme geographical diversity, abundant marine wildlife and feature the best of traditional Aegean architecture and Mediterranean cuisine.
This sailing adventure goes far beyond mere island hopping, giving you a chance to explore way beyond each island's marina, as well as immerse in local culture, savor the local flavors and learn a thing or two about the history of this immensely beautiful part of the world. And did we mention that it provides you with the opportunity to actively engage yourself in sailing, whether you have done it before or not?
The Aegean archipelago, with its clear deep blue waters is the ideal place to get acquainted with the basics of sailing and our skippers are always happy to show you the ropes!
