Food Menu we serve on board

It’s important to work out a budget for your travels – it’s a good idea to have a clear understanding of your main expenses before you leave home, but it’s also vital to know the extra costs you can expect along the way too.

When booking your Sail in Greece cruise, you’ll need to account for extra expenses such as flights and travel insurance for example – and then there will be optional extras and drinks on board the ships. Extra expenses will vary depending on your requirements and therefore it is difficult to specify the exact amount of money that you can spend per day; however as a general rule, we suggest that you budget between €25 – €30 per day (£25 – £30 per day). This amount will adequately provide you with additional meals, drinks and optionals.

What about the drinks too?

All of our ships offer fully-stocked bars and have a wide range of refreshing cocktails for those hot summer days lazing about on the topdeck. Unless you have specific dietary requirements, you cannot bring food or drink onboard the boat and you will need to purchase drinks from the ship’s bar. Drinking packages are available for our private charters.

Below is an example of Sail in Greece drinks you can expect on our range of ships & cruises.

Please note: Prices are an estimate only. Each ship will have varying price lists and menu options. Up to date prices and menu items will be available onboard and can be checked with your crew once you join your Sail in Greece cruise.

Conde Nast Says Greece is the Best Vacation Spot in the World!

If you needed one more reason to Sail in Greece next summer, how about the fact that Conde Nast picked Greece as the number one travel destination in the world!

Conde Nast readers gave the best scores to Greece across the board in the 2016 Readers’ Travel Awards, and with good reason. For its relatively small size, Greece contains some of the most diverse beauty and landscapes anywhere on Earth. Besides it’s ancient ruins and mountains, it has over 200 islands, each with its own unique vibe and atmosphere.

With our cruises, we try to give you a taste of every side of Greece, sailing from party central Mykonos to the stunning beaches of Paros, and on to the volcanic landscapes and amazing sunsets of Santorini. No matter what you like or what your style is, we guarantee you will fall in love with at least one, or most likely all, of these islands – as the readers of Conde Nast did!

There’s no better way to experience the Greek islands than on a classic sailboat, with a friendly Greek captain guiding the way. Greeks have been sailing on these seas for millennia, and almost everyone gets around the islands by boat or ship. With a cruise like this, you can travel closer to the way locals do while meeting Greeks and travelers from around the world on the way – having fun and forging connections on the waters of the deep blue Aegean Sea.

So if you haven’t been to Greece and want to see what Conde Nast readers are excited about, check out one of our cruises next summer. Even if you have been to Greece, we know you can’t wait to return, so kick back and relax while we take you to some of the best islands in the number one travel destination in the world!

4 Greek Islands Known for Their Food and Crafts

The islands of Greece are known for many things: incredible beaches, fresh food by the sea, and nightlife that goes on until dawn.

However, did you know that certain Greek islands are particularly well known for specific crafts their residents have perfected? Below are five islands and the crafts they are known for – so if you’re visiting any of these paradise destinations this summer, you know exactly what souvenir to pick up!

Tinos – Basket Weaving 

There is a town in Tinos called Volax, which is famous throughout Greece for two things: its surreal, boulder-laden landscape, and its basket-weaving residents. Though the town only has around 50 permanent inhabitants, many of them are basket-weavers with workshops adjacent to their houses. So stop by Volax to marvel at its alien landscape, historic churches, and gorgeous baskets!

Chios – Masticha

It is still an unsolved mystery why the mastiha tree produces mastiha (mastic) only on the island of Chios and nowhere else in Greece. Mastiha is a resin used for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. The 24 villages in Chios that produce it are the picturesque and aptly nicknamed “Mastihohoria” – definitely worth a visit both for sightseeing and souvenir shopping.

Crete – Paximadi

Paximadia are a common staple of Greek breakfasts and snack food. This crunchy bread-like food is closest to barley rusk, and is used in plenty of Greek recipes, including the traditional “dakos”, where it is mixed with feta, tomato, oregano, and cappari. The best paximadi is made in Crete, so if you are visiting the island for its glorious hiking and beaches, be sure to bring plenty of paximadia for snacks after your afternoon swim or walk!

Syros – Loukoumia

 Aside from the fresh, healthy foods that make up the local Mediterranean diet, Greece is also known for its delectable sweets. The island of Syros especially is famous throughout the country for its loukoumia. These gummy sweets come in a variety of flavors, though the most traditional kind have hints of roses and pistachios. Sit at one of the many portside cafes or restaurants on Miaouli Square and enjoy this famous Syros sweet!

Sail & Hike Cruises in Greece

The Greek islands are known for many things: beaches, sailing, great food, and water sports. However, did you know there are incredible hiking opportunities in the Aegean islands as well?

If you’re visiting in the springtime or fall, and it’s a bit too chilly for the beaches, try these great trails instead. During the summer, you can also access these trails to get some great sunset views.

The Caldera in Nisyros

One of the most mind-blowing hikes in the Aegean is the caldera hike on the tiny island of Nisyros. Wear good footwear, as the terrain can be a little difficult (and hot). Follow the track to the craters of Stefanos and Polyvotis, and take in this otherwordly volcanic landscape.

 

Explore the Villages of Andros on Foot

The quite large island of Andros has hiking trails connecting most of its charming villages, which can easily be crossed on foot. Explore the island’s valleys and ancient water mills while making your way from one scenic small town to another.

Go Back in History on the Trails of Ithaki

Ithaki, well-known to fans of Greek history and mythology as the Ionian home island of Odysseus, has plenty of hiking trails on its lush landscape. Walk between historic sites related to Trojan War hero Odysseus, and step back in time as you also admire the green landscape and clear turquoise waters below.

Enjoy the Tranquility of Tilos

As a smaller island overlooked by many foreign and Greek tourists, Tilos is the perfect place for travelers seeking some peace and quiet in a great natural setting. The island has dramatic cliff tops jutting out over the sea, and isolated beaches where you can have the beautiful Aegean scenery all to yourself.

Charter one of our Sail in Greece vessels private for your group and our team will design a tailor made itinerary ideal for hiking adventures!

See you on board.

 

 

5 playas griegas accesibles solo en velero

En un país lleno de playas hermosas, pintorescas y vírgenes, es difícil elegir la mejor, pero la parte de la costa griega a la que solo se puede acceder en velero tiende a ser la más hermosa de todas. Con un par de excepciones, estas playas tienen menos aglomeraciones de turistas y menos contaminación humana gracias a sus ubicaciones de difícil acceso, lo que las convierte en lugares privilegiados para nadar y tomar el sol.

Cuando recorra las islas griegas en un barco, podrá disfrutar de estas cinco impresionantes playas.

• Playa de Kleftiko, Milos

El agua turquesa y las impresionantes formaciones rocosas blancas que salpican la playa de Kleftiko la convierten en un destino impresionante para los viajeros. Gracias al hecho de que solo se puede acceder a Kleftiko en barco, el agua tiende a ser más limpia y clara que en el resto de la popular isla de Milos. Túmbate en las rocas y sumérgete en el deslumbrante sol mediterráneo, luego salta al agua para vivir una de las mejores experiencias de natación de tu vida.

• Playa Lalaria, Skiathos

Lalaria es la playa que puso a Skiathos en el mapa para muchos turistas griegos e internacionales por igual. La playa de guijarros blancos, los acantilados de piedra caliza y las aguas cristalinas hacen que este lugar en particular de la isla parezca casi surrealista en su belleza. Las leyendas locales afirman que nadar a través del arco de roca natural te dará la juventud eterna; aunque es un mito, ¡no está de más intentarlo!

• Playa Agiofulli, Lefkada

Lefkada es famosa en toda Grecia por sus increíbles playas, así como por sus lugares privilegiados para practicar kitesurf y windsurf. Aunque es difícil elegir solo una playa de la isla, Agiofulli es especialmente querido gracias a su ubicación tranquila e inaccesible en automóvil. Embárcate en un velero y nada hasta la costa, o toma un chárter desde la ciudad principal de Lefkada y realiza el viaje de 45 minutos para experimentar la playa de Agiofulli por ti mismo.

• Playa Navagio, Zakynthos

Uno de los destinos más populares de toda Grecia, Navagio Beach es verdaderamente una vista única para la vista. Casi todo el mundo ha visto fotografías famosas de la playa, que tiene un antiguo naufragio en la arena y está rodeada de imponentes acantilados. La razón por la que la mayoría de estas fotos de Navagio se toman desde arriba es que solo se puede acceder a la playa en velero. Definitivamente vale la pena navegar aquí, nadar y explorar el hermoso y antiguo naufragio usted mismo.

• Isla Koufonissi, Creta

Si está buscando algo más que una playa aislada, ¿qué tal una isla deshabitada a la que solo se puede acceder en barco? La isla de Koufonissi, frente a la costa de Creta, ni siquiera tiene un servicio regular desde el continente, lo que significa que solo aquellos que han alquilado veleros pueden ir allí. Koufonissi no ofrece playas desarrolladas con hamacas y servicio de cócteles, pero es un destino favorito para aquellos que buscan volver a la naturaleza y simplemente disfrutar de la belleza virgen del mar y la arena.

Alquile una de nuestras goletas y explore las islas griegas a su propio ritmo. Puede navegar por nuestra flota de goletas aquí.

5 meilleurs restaurants des îles grecques

Kalita, Mykonos

Mykonos compte tellement de restaurants de classe mondiale qu’il peut être difficile d’en choisir un à visiter, mais Kalita s’est suffisamment distinguée auprès des gastronomes internationaux pour trouver facilement l’un des meilleurs endroits de l’île. Connu autant pour ses desserts alléchants que pour son menu grec avec une touche, Kalita propose également une longue liste de cocktails incroyables pour garder les clients dans ce restaurant et bar longtemps après que les plats aient été nettoyés. Mieux encore, puisque Kalita se trouve dans un espace extérieur clos, vous pouvez faire une petite pause tranquille loin de l’agitation de la Chora de Mykonos pendant que vous dînez.

Niché dans le pittoresque port de Naoussa, juste à côté de l’eau, le Sigi Ikthios, traditionnellement blanc et bleu, est l’un des meilleurs restaurants de Paros.
