Greece · 8 Days / 7 Nights · Sailing Cruise
Crafted for the 18–35 crowd. Seven nights aboard a traditional Turkish gulet, looping the Saronic Gulf from Pachi — the quiet harbour near Athens — through Epidavros, Poros, Ermioni, Spetses and Methana.
Anchor in hidden coves the big ships can't reach. Sunset swims off the back of the boat, long lunches on deck, and harbour tavernas after dark. The kind of week you talk about for years.
Round-trip from Athens, Saturday to Saturday, with a full crew looking after every detail. Just choose your departure and get ready to see the best of the Greek islands.
Board in the afternoon at Pachi, the quiet Megara harbour just west of Athens. Meet your crew and fellow sailors, welcome drinks on deck, then an easy first sail out into the Saronic Gulf to anchor for the night.
Sail across to Epidavros on the Argolid coast. Snorkel the submerged ruins of the sunken city right in the bay, laze in pine-fringed coves, and, if you're up for it, catch an evening at the great ancient theatre nearby.
A short hop to Poros, its clock tower watching over a pretty harbour. Swim in Love Bay, wander the lemon forest across the narrow strait, then waterfront tavernas after dark.
Cross to Ermioni, a laid-back fishing town on a pine-covered peninsula. Walk the Bisti headland at golden hour, swim off the rocks, and eat the fresh catch where the locals do.
Sail on to Spetses, the elegant car-free island where horse-drawn carriages replace the traffic. Wander the Old Harbour and grand sea-captains' mansions, swim off pine-backed coves, and soak up the island's understated glamour.
Sail to the volcanic Methana peninsula: lava landscapes, healing thermal springs, and a hike to the crater rim. The most otherworldly stop of the week.
Sail back to Pachi in the afternoon and moor up for your final night aboard. A farewell dinner and drinks on deck as the week winds down.
Farewell breakfast on deck, then step ashore by 10am on your final morning. Athens and the airport are less than an hour away.
A traditional Turkish gulet — a hand-crafted wooden vessel built for the sea. Wide decks for sunbathing, a shaded social lounge for dinners and after-dark, and private cabins below. Full crew onboard, a music system, and all the watersports gear you'd hope for.
A few of our most popular add-ons, bookable on the boat or in advance.
Yes. About half our guests travel solo. You eat, swim and sail together for a week, so meeting people is easy — most solo travellers leave with a group they'd travel with again. Travelling alone, you can share a twin or triple with another same-gender guest at the shared rate, or book a single cabin. No forced sharing.
None. The gulet is run by a professional captain and crew. You're a guest — sit back, jump in the water, and enjoy Greece.
It's a round trip. You board and disembark at Pachi, a quiet harbour near Megara about 45 minutes west of Athens International Airport. On day one we include a group transfer from the Acropolis Ami Boutique Hotel in Athens straight to the gulet.
Private cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom — double, twin, triple-share and single options. Compact but comfortable: think boutique boat, not hostel bunk. Soft-sided bags work better than hard suitcases for cabin storage.
Unlikely. The Saronic Gulf is sheltered water with short hops between stops, so it stays calm and easy — a world away from open-ocean sailing. Seasickness is rare on this route.
Budget €40–60 a day for drinks, the odd meal or coffee ashore, and some activities. Most guests bring €300–400 for the week.
Australian passport holders can visit Greece visa-free for up to 90 days, with a passport valid for at least three months beyond departure. From 2026 the EU's ETIAS travel authorisation may also be required, so check before you travel.
