Absolutely. One of the unique joys of a Greece sailing holiday is the ability to combine vibrant mainland ports with serenef islands, all within a single itinerary. Whether departing from Athens or another major port, you’ll find island groups such as the Saronic Gulf, Cyclades and Ionian Islands within comfortable sailing range.

Customised Itineraries with Coastal Variety

We help plan routes that balance time spent in bustling coastal towns with peaceful island anchorages. The variety offers cultural depth, local dining experiences, and greater flexibility should weather or timing require adjustments.

Start and End Options

Most charters start and finish at the same base, such as Athens’ Alimos Marina. In some cases, one-way itineraries are possible on extended charters, ideal for covering more ground across both island and mainland ports.

We Take the Guesswork Out

We will suggest a realistic route that factors in travel times, prevailing winds and your group’s preferences. Our first-hand knowledge of both the island chains and lesser-known mainland gems opens up the chance to experience the best of both worlds.
