Itinerary
Day 1: Santorini
Arrival day. Join the group at 11am for a welcome meeting and safety briefing before beginning the journey through the Cyclades.
We highly recommend booking pre-tour accommodation in order to have time to explore the island of Santorini.
Day 2-4: Cyclades - Ios/Small Cyclades/Naxos
Spend time in the Greek Isles with experienced skippers and a flexible schedule. The coming days will be tailored to meet the desires of the group and weather conditions. Stops might include Ios, the Small Cyclades and Naxos.
The islands of the Cyclades offer a range of different experiences on each island.
While on Ios, relax on famous Magganari beach and don't forget to visit Homer's tomb.
Head out on an optional all-day adventure with your fellow yachtmates 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.
Day 5: Mykonos
Arrive to Mykonos and opt to visit the local windmills and enjoy a cocktail on a veranda overlooking Little Venice. The beaches and nightlife add excitement to this picturesque island.
Day 6-9: Cyclades - Syros/Paros/Sifnos/Folegandros
Spend the next few days enjoying more of the Cyclades. Depending on where the wind will take us, stroll through the markets of Syros, uncover the beauty of the Venetian ruins in Paros and walk and hike through the trails and paths of Sifnos. Wander the breathtaking cliffside city of Hora or enjoy cocktails at sunset.
Find countless treasures and must-grab deals while strolling through the markets of Syros.
Explore the Venetian ruins in Paros. Walk and hike 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 or enjoying cocktails at sunset over the whitewashed buildings that scatter the landscape.
Day 10: Santorini
Depart after breakfast.
We highly recommend booking post-tour accommodation on the island.

It was absolutely everything I hoped the trip would, and more! The professionalism and competence of our skipper combined with her friendly good nature made us feel safe and welcome. The group was so friendly and got along so well. The balance between time on the sailboat and time exploring the islands was perfect. The islands we visited were mostly a little off the beaten path which is exactly what I was hoping for. I am not familiar with sailing so it was all new to me and literally from start to finish it was perfect.

The trip was overall well planned and organized for the most part, but there were some simple items in my opinion that have could have made the trip a 10 with minimum effort from the G Adventures.

The start was atrocious. We were there early for 11am No tables with G Adventures sign on it The driver turned up 1 hour late Nobody knew about food We all paid 45E for a taxi to the port only to go back to the other side of the island past our hotels No emails the change that Had to change boats halfway through that's a start

This particular trip was expensive but we didn't go to the main place being Mykonos as advertised and was always very unlikely to go there at this time of year due to the weather and wind which is normal for September. It felt like false advertising and i had I know it was not guaranteed I would have made other plans to go to Mykonos. Everyone on the trip expected to be going and was very dissapointed.

Elli C. - Traveled, August 2023
I absolutely loved the experience. Being able to experience the islands and swim in beautiful water was amazing. The only worry is the size of the cabins (unavoidable) and some people would not be comfortable in that size living space. Otherwise absolutely would recommend.

Trip was satisfactory, skipper was great, but I felt like the tour description/map was misleading. Also, it seemed a bit expensive.
