Sailing Greece - Mykonos to Santorini

This seven-night small-group holiday with G Adventures sets sail from Mykonos, guiding you through the southern Cyclades islands towards Santorini. Along the way, the journey includes visits to less frequented islands where white-sand beaches invite relaxation and snorkelling beneath turquoise waters. In villages scattered across these islands, there's time to sample regional Greek food and wine, with suggestions for local tavernas from the skipper.

The yacht measures 17 metres and accommodates a small group, with cabins close but public space relatively generous above deck. This is a hands-on experience; guests are welcome to try their hand at sailing or simply enjoy watching the skipper in control. The skipper also offers insights into the surrounding islands and can help navigate options ashore. Traveling between the islands involves water taxis for final shore access, with weather often dictating the day's plan.

Prepare for compact cabins and shared facilities, soft luggage only, and limited water for showers. Despite these practicalities, this tour offers a steady-paced way to encounter the southern Aegean's quieter spots, historic ruins within reach on foot, and the genuine character of Greece’s lesser-known Cycladic corners.
