Aegean
Adventure Cruise
-Greece-
The PREMIER sailing
tour in the Greek islands for the last decade!
Join Poseidon Charters' world renowned
'Aegean Adventure Cruises & Flotillas Program', the premier
sailing  vacation
that captures all the history, beauty and flavors of Greece.
See why so many sailors and non-sailors have chosen our exclusive
tour of the Greek islands. The program has developed a great
reputation for four unique reasons: 1) The variety of islands
is diverse. The two-week program is the boldest itinerary
in the industry. It follows
fascinating historic trade routes and a gastronomic circuit
for all tastes. 2) The professional service is the highest
level available in Greece. Our international staff are certified,
knowledgeable on Greek waters and history as well as trained
in the service industry. 3) The quality of our boats and equipment
sets a standard unparalleled in Greece. Our two flotilla lead
boats are the best-equipped and maintained 65-foot sloops
in Athens. 4) The 'hands on' character of the tour, where
guests 'are the crew', allows experienced sailors to feel
right at home and offers novice sailors a great experience
to learn and practice.
The Greek islands offer sun-kissed beaches, secluded coves,
fine dining, exquisite shopping, exceptional nightlife and
so much more! Immerse yourself in traditional Greek life.
Each day brings a new port with a new adventure! Poseidon

*It is important to note
that the 'Aegean Adventure Cruises and Flotillas' are not
guided by an archaeologist and there are no lectures given
aboard. The itinerary is designed to offer the most important
archaeological, mythological and historical islands but guests
are advised to explore them with
guide book in hand (see suggested reading list). The captains
are well trained sailors and have a good knowledge of modern
and ancient Greece but are not government trained guides.
It is also important to note that the 'Aegean Adventure Cruises
and Flotillas' are not privately booked tours. They are 'individual,
group 'by the cabin' tours where groups who know each other
cannot dictate the size of yachts, number of guests aboard
or the number of boats in a flotilla. Generally the departures
are one yacht but often two and sometimes there are as many
as four yachts on a departure. Customised itineraries and
bareboats with captain can be arranged for groups wanting
their own private yacht and itinerary which can be chosen
from our fleet of 250 yachts including all recent Beneteau
models.
