- Saronic Sailing Luxury Adventure
We really enjoyed our trip. Koastas, our skipper, made us feel welcome and with all his years of experience of sailing, made the trip superb for us. Danae, our guide, was just lovely with lots of restaurant recommendations and always a ready smile. The islands we visited were varied and interesting. Swimming & snorkelling in the beautiful clear waters was out of this world. Thank you both for a fabulous experience.
What our customers ask about Sailing in Greece
What is the best time of year to go sailing in Greece?
Greece's sailing season peaks from May to September with each month offering distinct advantages. The Ionian Sea maintains gentle winds throughout summer while the Cyclades experiences stronger gusts during July and August. Most travelers find June and September offer the best combination: temperatures hover between 25-30°C with less crowded ports in popular stops like Santorini and Mykonos. A TourRadar traveler notes: "We went in June and we had the perfect balance of wind for sailing and calm seas for swimming."
What are the top destinations covered on Greek sailing itineraries?
Greek sailing routes typically focus on two main island groups. The Cyclades circuit includes Mykonos Santorini and Naxos featuring distinctive white architecture and significant archaeological sites like Ancient Delos. The Ionian journey covers Lefkada Kefalonia and Ithaca offering sheltered waters and historical landmarks including Odysseus's home in Vathi. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Exploring hidden coves in Milos and visiting the Blue Caves of Lefkada were highlights - each island offered something unique and special."
How many people typically share a sailing vessel?
Greek sailing tours maintain small group sizes for comfort and personalization. Standard vessels like the Lagoon 42 catamaran host 8-10 guests while larger traditional boats such as the Running On Waves accommodate slightly more passengers. One TourRadar traveler observed: "Having just 8 people on board created a perfect dynamic - we became like family by the end of the trip."
What's the typical budget needed beyond the tour price?
Daily expenses beyond the tour cost average 50-60 USD covering non-included meals (mainly dinners) optional activities and local transport. Port fees may add around 395 USD per person on certain tours. Popular destinations like Mykonos and Santorini command higher restaurant prices. A TourRadar traveler advises: "Plan for around 30-40 USD per dinner at local tavernas plus extra for activities like wine tastings or archaeological site visits."
