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.

Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • 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.

  • Hike trails that take you into the heart of the Cyclades. Walk past grazing goats and whitewashed chapels, say kalimera (hello) to farmers and climb to the medieval Castle of Oria for amazing Aegean views.

  • Join a local family for a home-cooked dinner at their home in Syros to get an authentic taste of Greek hospitality.

  • Watch the Cyclades’ famous tangerine sunsets from the deck of your yacht, cold drink in hand, while the waves lap against the hull.

  • Step back in time on Delos – one of Greece’s most significant archaeological sites. Wander the Avenue of Lions, visit the House of Cleopatra and imagine ancient crowds at a 5000-seat theatre.
