SUMMER
CRUISING
ROUTES
This
coming season we would like to offer some ideas of
island itineraries that groups can follow. We of course
prefer that you design your own island hopping itineraries
with assistance from us.
We
have found that some of these routes offer a wide variety
of Greece and the true island experience that so many
of our clients are looking for. We also have laid out
some of the routes to take advantage of the best sailing
angles between islands.
As
our base is Athens, for the purpose of these routes we
will start in Athens, however we will also pre-position
the yacht in any location to allow for greater time in
the islands of your choice.
