sail the cyclades

While we’re not able to travel right now, we’re finding ourselves drawn to itineraries that inspire us for future trips. Gosh! We can hardly wait to be on the other side of this. One of the biggest disappointments of the outbreak is that our Greek Odyssey cruise had to be canceled. But we’ve got suppliers that are still offering saling trips through the Greek Isles later this summer, and the pricing is really phenomenal. Among those, our preferred travel partner, G Adventures, has an incredible yacht trip through the Cyclades, that’s really inspiring our wanderlust.

A yacht adventure is an ideal way to experience what many consider the world’s most beautiful islands in Greece. Sail aboard a 15m (52 ft) yacht, with time for hiking, snorkeling, and relaxing. Explore ancient archaeological sites and taverna-lined harbors, dine on fresh seafood, and don’t forget to try the Ouzo! This 10-day round trip from Santorini will give you the chance to explore some of the treasures of the Greek Islands.

Day 1 Santorini/Cyclades

Arrival day. Join the group at 11 am for a welcome meeting and safety briefing before beginning the journey through the Cyclades.

Days 2-4 Cyclades

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.

Day 5 Cyclades/Mykonos

Arrive in 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.

Days 6-9 Mykonos/Cyclades

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.

Day 10 Cyclades/Santorini

Depart after breakfast.

There are other iterations of this itinerary, too. So, for example, if you were looking for a shorter trip, you could end in Mykonos. And the great thing about G Adventures is that if you’re a solo traveler, and you don’t mind being matched up with a roommate, you can avoid any surcharge for single travelers.

As we mentioned, the pricing on this itinerary for departures in August, 2020 is really incredible, right now—up to 35% off the standard rate. So, if you’d like more information about how you can start to make those travel dreams into a reality, well, you should definitely reach out to us.
