Sail & Hike Greece: Mykonos to Athens
< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
Spend eight salty-skinned days sailing, hiking and swimming your way through some of the lesser-known Cyclades. Starting in lively Mykonos, you’ll cruise the sparkling Aegean Sea aboard a private yacht and drop anchor at islands that seem unchanged by time. Hike to a clifftop castle in Kythnos, share a homemade dinner with a local family in Syros and unearth the stories of legendary gods and ancient civilisations on the UNESCO-listed Delos. With a passionate skipper at the helm, daily swims and plenty of free time to enjoy the Cyclades’ laidback pace, this is Greek island hopping done right.
