Day 1
Athens
01.
On day one, we board the vessel at around 14:00, and have a couple of drinks, just to start off.
We then, start getting to know each other better and of course, start off with the partying!
While we are staying for the first night at Laurium, we can choose between roaming around Laurium’s famous bar strip, or staying onboard!
It’s up to you!
Note: On the rare occasion of any issues that may result from late arrivals, there is a possibility that we do not depart from Athens on Saturday, but on Sunday instead.
Day 2
Athens - Kea
02.
After our first day, we will enjoy our lovely brunch as we depart, heading to Kea’s Island complex, of course, accompanied by great music and loads of excitement!
During our trip, we’ll make a stop at Makronisos, to enjoy our first swim-stop in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean.
The trip to Kea will include our first cove party, though a chance to explore Kea’s most beautiful village, Vourkari, as well!
Day 3
Kea - Syros
03.
We will leave Kea behind, as we sail to Siros, the capital of the Cyclades with the dynamic character and cosmopolitan grace of a queen!
Syros Island is famous for its capital Ermoupoly, its excellent restaurants and its delicious local/traditional sweets, Loukoumi (Turkish delight) and Halvadopita (a soft kind of nougat).
During our stay at Siros, and of course, after our scheduled daily swim-stop, it’s time to let the DJ do his thing!
Nothing better than an onboard summer afternoon-party in Greece!!
Dive into the sea if you feel you need to cool off, or grab a cocktail and just relax onboard, with the best party-company out there, as we are just getting started!
Day 4
Syros - Mykonos
04.
This is the day! We leave Siros and head to our trip’s main highlight, Mykonos!
The stunning aesthetic hits you in between the eyes, and the island’s aura is just exceptional. Mykonos is literally packed with high-end shops and stores, worldwide famous clubs and bars and it is the dream of every young person who loves to socialize, party and dance!!
The island of winds, as Mykonos is called, is particularly picturesque with stone-paved alleys, whitewashed houses, country chapels and windmills that ooze calmness and peace!
Before you reach the mainland, enjoy a swim-stop at Rhenia and get ready to experience a combination of, on and off-boat parties, that will make up for a day you will remember for sure!
Day 5
Mykonos
05.
On the fifth day, we will see all the great aspects of this beautiful Aegean Island, as we will roam around its Island complex while partying non-stop!
We will make a couple of private stops, where we will create some moments and after all the “celebrations” we anchor at some cove, where we will make it for the night!
Day 6
Mykonos - Kythnos
06.
For the sixth day, the plan is to leave Mykonos and travel to Kythnos.
On our way, we will stop at Kolona beach for a relaxing swim and some sunbathing.
The Island’s name derives from the ancient Greek word “Kefthemon”, meaning a dim place to hide, since Kythnos was chosen by many as a hiding place from intruders and pirates of nearby settlements, during old days!
Kythnos is also well known, for its great local Greek seafood!
Of course, during our stay at Kythnos, we will make it count, as we will be stopping at different coves, during the day, just to have even further fun!
Day 7
Kythnos - Athens
07.
After Kythnos, we slowly start to end our trip, as we sail back from where we initially departed from, Laurium!
We arrive at the port, early in the afternoon, though the fun does not stop there, as we have one remaining night to create our last moments!
Day 8
Departure day
08.
As we have successfully cruised, to and around Mykonos, this is our departure day..

Frequently asked questions
The Mykonos cruise is a party-themed cruise tour, ideal for young independent like-minded travelers, best suitable for 18 to 35-year-olds.
If you are meant to join our Mykonos cruise, you will explore the most famous Island complex in Greece, the Cyclades, with its main highlight, Mykonos!
We Island hop, while we are partying, drinking and having fun all the way, until we arrive at Mykonos, though the party does not stop there!
Departures are every Saturday at 14:00, from May until the end of October.
For more specific dates, please see our cruise calendar.
All our cruises end on Saturdays, at 09:00.
The difference between island hopping with us, and island hopping with any other mainstream-commercial ferry company,
is mainly, the overall experience and comfort!
Commercial Island hopping, would mean standing for hours in line, just to boat your ferry,
traveling with other thousands of people, sometimes for many hours without truly being comfortable during the trip, absurd time schedules,
as most commercial ferries have crazy embarkation/disembarkation schedules (sometimes as early, as 04:00 in the morning).
Additionally, during commercial Island hopping, you won’t have any standard accommodation for that period, which means that you will be carrying your luggage everywhere you go, without the possibility of leaving them somewhere stress-free.
On the other hand, traveling with us, on your own private gulet, would mean, overwhelming comfort due to the fact, that you will have the same accommodation for the whole trip’s duration! Of course, plenty of storage to leave your luggage and belongings, without the fear of losing anything,
as our crew never leaves the ship.
This means that your belongings will be safe, throughout the week you will be traveling with us! And also, besides the cruising hours, there is no other major time restriction, so you will have plenty of time, to do whatever you want!
We do have a variety of cabins, which range from doubles to twins (lower beds-bunk beds) to triples and a few quads, depending on the operating gulet.
All cabins besides, their comfortable mattresses, are ensuite with their own shower, a hair dryer, a wardrobe for storage, reading lights,
their own individual A/C device and an electric fan!
If you want to be in the same cabin with your friends, just mention it, while booking with us.
We can not guarantee that you will be together, but we will make everything possible to actually do that!
Please keep in mind, that we provide 1 set of fresh linen and towels, for the cruising week.
Many of our guests, choose to travel alone, as it follows the basic idea of our cruises.
Independent individuals, come alone but travel with same-like-minded people, so many in the end, actually become friends!
Please know, that if you are traveling solo, we will always try to allocate you to a cabin, with your same gender.
On the other hand, if you desire to have your own private cabin, there will be an extra charge of 50% of the total amount of 1 person’s price
In general, on Greek islands, you can find affordable food and drinks, everywhere!
You can choose, between eating traditional Greek comfort food, like a Souvlaki, at a price of 4€, or sitting at a local tavern/restaurant,
for a much proper meal, at a price of 10-15€ per person.
Throughout, Greek Islands, drinks cost approximately, 6-15€
Water is offered complimentary by us, only during meal courses, so water is NOT included in your package!
If you want any extra water, we offer 1.5L bottles (Natural mineral Water), at 2€
The A/C, operates from 4 to 8 hours, per day (if of course, it is permitted by the government’s Covid regulations).
Also note, that the A/C works only when the generator is working at the exact same time. Though, due to local regulations, the generator must be turned off, after midnight.
The power supply, from the shore at the ports of Corfu, Kassiopi, Sivota and Gaios (due to their weak infrastructure), is not powerful enough to operate all our A/C units, simultaneously. Thus you must keep in mind, that there are possibly hot nights, especially during July and August, where the A/C, does not work after midnight.
Please keep in mind, that all our cabins are equipped with independent electric fans, as well, hence when our boats are connected to the shore’s power supply, our fans work properly, during the night, as well.
Any means of transportation, such as local buses, taxis, or even water taxis, are not included, in any of our cruise packages.
However, we would be more than happy to arrange any possible transportation, for you!
A standard “airport to the vessel (and vice versa)” transfer, is around 25-30€ per person (depending on the Island),
while shorter, in-town transportation would vary, between 8€ and 15€ per person.
In case you want to arrange your transportation, prior to your arrival, send us an email, at: travel@sail-ingreece.com or info@sail-ingreece.com
Our gulets share quite a number of electrical sockets, both on the inside and the outside, of the vessel.
With this in mind, and as we do provide extension cords and multi-docking stations, you will be able to charge your devices,
either while cruising while the generator is active, or while docked at port!
You are able to have a shower, any time of the day, but keep in mind that when the boat is docked at some of the ports we visit,
the engines are turned off, the water flow is reduced and as a result, there is no hot water after midnight.
Water tanks on board are limited, meaning, when multiple cabins shower simultaneously, hot water is more likely to end.
If your shower does not have hot water, please inform your captain in order to open the water heater, and please wait for at least,
15 to 20 minutes, until it heats up the water again.
Our Mykonos Cruise is under a Brunch option,
which basically is a buffet-style brunch course, served at around 13:00.
Click here, to see our detailed brunch menu!
Please note, that all courses include water, though if you want extra, a 1.5L water bottle, is at 2€
We do respect our passenger’s food preferences and requirements and that is why our Chefs, in case it is needed, will prepare optional dishes, as well.
(vegetarian, lactose-free, pescatarian, vegan, etc.)
As we use to say here, we are like a hostel in the water. So, yes feel free to bring any personal food or drinks you want on board. Our idea is to support your budget and travel cheaper. Please keep in mind that is not allowed to consume food and drinks inside our cabins and also there is no communal fridge that can be used for storage.
Adventure traveling, like Island hopping, requires travel insurance and we strongly suggest, purchasing one!
For further details, please review our travel insurance section.
All gulets, including ours, are hybrids, which means that although they do have a motor engine, they can run on wind energy, as well, through its huge sails.
That said, operating a cruise solely on wind energy, is something quite unpredictable, thus, we prefer relying on, and scheduling each week, based on the gulet’s ability to use its motor engines!
All the gulets in our fleet, have only European-type sockets.
Note: It is mandatory to know this beforehand, as the electrical items/devices you want to bring on board, need to agree, with this specification.
We have travelers from all over the world, and we are truly delighted about this!
Most of our passengers are Australian, British, German, Spanish, Croatian, French, Italian, South African, Canadian and American!
So, most of our passengers are mainly English speakers!
In order to get all the necessary updated information about Visa and passport requirements, please check our Visa & Passport section!
In order to support the local community and give back to its (our) people, all our gulets have multinational crew members.
Though, English is the number one onboard-speaking language!
All our gulets can carry up to, approximately 20 to 25 passengers, with an average cabin number of 7. (double/twins – triples)
Keep in mind, that all our vessels have fair space onboard, for literally all the passengers they will, eventually, accommodate!
At the time of your booking/inquiry, remember to specify who your fellow travelers are.
This way, we will try to make all the necessary arrangements to accommodate you, all together, on the same vessel!
Please keep in mind though, that we can not guarantee this, for close-to-date cruises!
Even if we believe, that it is impossible for someone, to wish to “abort” our sailing cruise earlier than its scheduled disembarkation,
You are of course, free to leave, whenever you like!
The only restriction though, is that in order for you to leave earlier, the gulet needs to be docked at a marina/port, and not on some remote cove!
Of course, in case you happen to leave earlier and want us to help you with your transportation, feel free to let us know,
by sending an email, at: travel@sail-ingreece.com or info@sail-ingreece.com
In the unfortunate event, of losing your departure, you have the option to either “catch” us on the next Island/destination,
via commercial ferry, or bus. (if accessible)
In any case, if something like that is to happen, try to inform us prior to the actual departure time, by calling us at our Head Office, at: +30 211 215 2595
As personal privacy, is of paramount importance to us, we cannot provide you with any of your fellow travelers’ details, prior to your actual cruise day.
However, if you are interested to meet other people that travel on the same tour as you, feel free,
to head to our Facebook page and introduce yourself to our lovely community!
