There is something magical about being at sea, on a boat, under stiff breeze with whitewater curling off the bow, the sound of wind in the rigging and a feeling of being one with the boat and with nature...
Sailing is a unique way to discover the splendors of an area, while exploring hidden coves, remote islands, pristine beaches and turquoise blue waters. You can drop anchor to a secluded bay, sunbathe or lay on untouched beaches that can only be reached by sea.
Sailors aren't in a big hurry to go anywhere.
The pleasure is the journey, not the destination.
Growing up by the sea, I’ve always been drawn to the little islands of the Aegean Sea; the Sporades, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese... So I’m excited to share my love of sailing and the island way of life to travellers who join our island hopping sailing holidays. Check below, I’m sure there will be something that catches your eye...
July to September is always the most popular period for sailing and the islands. But, here's the thing… due to the high demand, and limited space within yachts, availability can be a challenge and lots of trips are now at full capacity for that period. Still there still a few stops to fill on 29 June, 6 and 13 July so we are making a last minute offer of 100 EUR off pp!
100 EUR off on all our sailing, walking & wildlife holidays!
We offer to all our readers the special offer of 100 euros off... on all our holidays till the end of July. The offer is only available till the 20th of June!
Bag one of these adventures for the best period (but act fast)!
Sailing gives you the best chance to see many islands
within a few days…
Sailing in Greece gives you the chance to actually experience what you have been picturing; diving off your sailing yacht into the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, unwinding on deck enjoying a cold drink, hearing the waves splashing against the yacht's keel.
The geography, beautiful landscapes, large number of anchorages and mild climate, make Greece an ideal destination for sailing holidays. Whether you are a novice and just wish to join a skippered sailing holiday… or are an experienced sailor who wish to rent his own yacht, you will be happy with the many possibilities.

Sailor's paradise:
Greece is a sailor’s paradise, with immense coastline, consistent trade winds to fill your sails, clear blue water, year-round sunshine, plenty of safe anchorages and islands close enough to navigate by sight.
A typical day may involve 3-4 hours sailing, stop on the way at a remote bay for a swim and lunch, short sail to the fishing port or bay where you'll spend the night. In the evening, you'll discover the island you visited and more importantly the main village "hora" where you can have supper at the local tavern and sample the local delicacies.
Beautiful scenery & unique wildlife
You'll enjoy dramatic coastal scenery, stunning mountain views, astonishing landscapes with abandoned terraces, ruined windmills, caves, bridges, steep rocky cliffs, springs and small gorges… enjoy ravishing wild herbs and flowers… encounter endemic wildlife… reach remote solitary beaches and coves with crystal clear waters.
Herds of dolphins such as the Bottle-nosed dolphin, the Common dolphin and the Striped dolphin will be your companions while sailing from one island to the other. Endangered animals like the Mediterranean Sealand the Loggerhead sea turtle and endemic species like the Skyros' Wall Lizard, Milos Viper are the natural, unique wealth of Aegean & Ionian seas. On your way sea birds such as like gulls and cormorants will keep you company.
Fascinating local culture & historic ancient sites:
Unique landscapes with tens of quaint villages, Venetian castles, ancient temples, protected coves, cosmopolitan towns and endless sandy beaches where you can swim and eat at the family-run local tavernas. By sailing around the islands you'll have the chance to experience the warm friendliness and hospitality of the islanders and discover an untouched traditional culture and welcome.
Delicious food & wine:
Food always tastes better when it’s grown on the doorstep and sailing to remote, smaller islands is a unique way to discover truly off-the-beaten-track local producers. Whether tasting freshly-picked home-cooked food at a family-run tavern, buying fresh fish from the fisherman, sampling olive oil from a small olive grove or tasting locally produced cheese, it will be a fascinating experience.
Sailing is eco-friendly:
This is the holiday that takes you closer to nature… at Mystic Blue, for example, we use the power of sail and wind and only use the motor when entering in and out of ports. Our charters have an eco-friendly character as we wish our guests to discover and appreciate the natural attractions, wildlife and culture of the Aegean. On these excursions not only we make sure no garbage is left behind but we also gather garbage left behind by others. You can read more about our responsible travel policy here…
Sail and explore the islands on foot!
During our sailing & walking holiday, you will also have the opportunity to experience the unique nature and landscapes of the small, non-touristy Greek islands by walking their ancient paths. We'll walk at the tips of mountains that offer breathtaking views to the Aegean sea, through traditional villages, byzantine and ancient settlements... and will reach virgin beaches where you can rest and have a refreshing swim.
