The Best Way To Sail Around Greece
When you picture Greece, chances are you see dazzling blue seas, whitewashed villages and plates of mezze set against golden sunsets. But here’s the truth: the best way to experience all of this isn’t by checking into a hotel and hopping on day trips, it’s by sailing. When you sail around Greece you experience freedom. You’ll wake up to the sound of the waves, step out onto your own deck with coffee in hand, knowing that a new island adventure lies ahead. You won’t have to pack a suitcase every time you move to a different island, won’t have to chase ferries and won’t fall into disappointing tourist traps.
A Tailor-Made Adventure For Your Group
The Sailing in Style approach is simple — you tell us about your group, we create the perfect itinerary. Whether you’re a family with different tastes to keep happy, a group of friends seeking a balance of nightlife and quiet escapes, or a couple after something romantic and secluded, we design a trip that fits like a glove.
We know the best places, activities and restaurants and we’ll guide you towards experiences you wouldn’t find in a travel guide as you sail around Greece. Taverna tables set on the sand, family-run wineries tucked into the hills and coves that most travellers never get to see. And if you’re worried about keeping everyone entertained, that’s where we shine. Some guests want to learn the ropes and take the helm, others want to sunbathe and sip cocktails. With us, you can do both. Make sailing a hands-on focus or let us do the work while you relax. It’s entirely up to you.
Why Sail Around Greece?
Choosing to sail around Greece means you’re not tied to a single hotel or town. Your boat becomes your base. Sleep beneath the stars and wake up somewhere new every morning. Instead of day trips that pull you back to the same spot each evening, you glide from island to island, letting curiosity guide you.
The beauty of sailing is flexibility. If you fall in love with a fishing village and want to linger, we’ll adjust. If the weather shifts, we’ll find the next best bay. And if your group decides one morning that a lazy beach day is exactly what’s needed, we’ll change course. It’s your holiday and our job to make it unforgettable. We’ll also show you the Greece most visitors miss — hidden caves perfect for snorkelling, private beaches reached only by sea and calm spots where the water is so clear you’ll want to dive in before breakfast.
Sail Around Greece On Our South Ionian Itinerary
Here’s what a week with us in the South Ionian could look like:
Day 1 – Lefkada
Step aboard and settle in. After a swim stop in emerald waters, enjoy your first dinner at a harbourside taverna with the mountains as your backdrop.
Day 2 – Papanikolis Cave
Sail south towards Meganisi and explore the legendary Papanikolis Cave, once a WWII submarine hideout. Glide into the vast cavern, swim in the sparkling light and soak up the magic of this natural wonder.
Day 3 – Ithaca
Sail to Odysseus’s legendary homeland, Ithaca. Explore sleepy fishing villages and wander olive groves before a seafood feast at a family-run restaurant.
Day 4 – Kefalonia
Drop anchor in Kefalonia, famous for its dramatic cliffs and scenes from Mama Mia!. Visit a cave lake, taste local Robola wine, or spend the day swimming in crystal-clear waters — exactly why so many travellers want to sail around Greece!
Day 5 – Atokos
Anchor off the uninhabited island of Atokos. Swim with curious pigs on the beach and enjoy a BBQ on deck as the sun melts into the sea.
Day 6 – Kalamos
Next up is Kalamos, where pine-covered hills meet sparkling seas. Spend the afternoon paddleboarding, then dine in a tiny taverna where the catch of the day is grilled tableside.
Day 7 – Kastos
Kastos is the kind of island most tourists never reach. Anchor in the quiet harbour, watch sea turtles glide beneath the boat and enjoy a final Ionian sunset from a clifftop bar.
Of course, this is just a taster. Every trip we design is different, because every group is different.
