About this trip
Imagine this: You wake up to the gentle sway of the sea, with nothing but the sound of waves and the scent of salty air. The Sporades stretch ahead, a string of lush, sun-kissed islands waiting to be explored. Welcome to your 7-day sailing escape, where freedom floats and time slows down.
On this curated cruise, you’ll dive into crystal-clear waters, discover hidden coves and uninhabited islets, and stroll through whitewashed villages with timeless charm. Sip coffee in quiet harbors, toast the sunset with ouzo, and live the simple luxury of a life at sea.
The Sporades aren’t just beautiful, they’re a vibe. Most of the week belongs to Skopelos, for us the most beautiful island in the Sporades, before the untouched serenity of Alonissos. The route bends to the wind and to you, and Skiathos can be added by arrangement. This cruise is a love letter to the Greek summer.
With experienced skippers at the helm and fully equipped, seaworthy yachts, your only job is to relax, explore, and make memories under the Aegean sun.
7 days. Countless stories. One unforgettable voyage.
