Sail & Hike Greece: Athens to Mykonos
< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
Spend eight sun-kissed days island-hopping, swimming and hiking your way through the Cyclades. Kick things off in the port town of Lavrio near Athens, then set sail across the Aegean on a private yacht. Dropping anchor at some of Greece's lesser-known islands, you’ll hike through sleepy villages and along craggy cliffs, share a homemade dinner with a local family in Syros and uncover the stories of ancient civilisations on the UNESCO-listed Delos. With an experienced skipper leading the way, daily sea dips and plenty of free time to soak up the slower rhythm of island life, this is the Cyclades at their best.

Experience life at sea with a local skipper and a crew of adventure-keen travellers aboard a private yacht. Wake up to ocean views, sunbathe on deck and snorkel in quiet bays far from the crowds.
