This experience, in a nutshell

Step aboard for a unique, skippered sailing journey across Greece, combining comfort, adventure, and authentic island life. This relaxed and premium voyage takes you from the green, mountainous island of Kefalonia all the way to Athens, including the unforgettable passage through the legendary Corinth Canal.


This is not a rushed delivery trip, but a carefully paced experience designed for travelers who want to enjoy sailing in comfort. We explore the best of both worlds: the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea, charming island villages, quiet anchorages, and the historic route into the Saronic Gulf. Along the way, there is plenty of time for swimming in crystal-clear bays, enjoying long lunches in seaside tavernas, and relaxing on deck with a drink at sunset.


You’ll be sailing on a well-equipped yacht with an experienced skipper, so no sailing experience is required. You’re welcome to help sail the boat if you’re curious, or simply sit back and enjoy the journey. The atmosphere onboard is friendly, cozy, and unhurried — perfect for couples, solo travelers, or friends who want something more special than a standard island-hopping holiday.


The highlight of the trip is transiting the spectacular Corinth Canal, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many sailors and a truly iconic moment of the journey.


Highlights of the trip:

  • Skippered, relaxed and comfortable sailing experience
  • Sail from Kefalonia to Athens on a beautiful point-to-point route
  • Explore Ionian and Saronic islands along the way
  • Transit the legendary Corinth Canal
  • Swim in turquoise bays and visit charming Greek harbors
  • A perfect mix of adventure, comfort, and authentic Greek atmosphere



This is a premium but down-to-earth sailing experience: adventurous, cozy, and designed to let you truly enjoy life at sea — without stress or rushing.


The trip can be shorter or longer based on your preferences. Please get in touch with us for a customized offer.
