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.

We had Max as our skipper the first half. He was very informative with every island we went to. He catered to everyone's needs and wants. He made everyone feel at ease on the boat. Great guy!! On the second half we had Dov. Very relaxed and chilled skipper. Made everyone feel comfortable on the boat. Great guy!!

Skipper on first week trip Santorini to Mykonos., first of all left early from agreed meeting place and left me behind...tavern owner contacted sailing company who took me to other side of island meeting spot. He was distracted throughout not willing to share information, did no briefing to show us where on charts we were travelling and safety briefing was greatly lacking especially in comparison to following week. Mainly on motor which was not what I expected

Both Erwin, the skipper for the 1st week',s sailing, Santorini to Mykonos & Marko the skipper for the 2nd week',s sailing from Mykonos to Athens were very experienced, knowledgeable, personable, offered lots of suggestions & both were also very considerate. 2 great groups of people made both weeks even more enjoyable. Swimming off the back of the boat was an amazing experience too!

Both skippers were excellent. They made sure we were safe at all times. Gave us great on shore recommendations for activities and where to eat. Also we?re excellent with choice of where to go each day allowing time to swim and explore

Our entire experience with G Adventures was extremely pleasant and positive. I'd most definitely recommend G Adventures to either a family member or a friend - and I'm also very likely to book another tour through them again.
