Athens, Greece

Continue the seafarers' tradition of thousands of years with an Aegean adventure under sail. Experience the colorful, the quiet, the famous, the historic and the exotic - all in a single week. You'll travel through time in a world of ancient ruins, modern resorts and ageless wonders.

Crystal-Clear Waters And Timeless Cultures
The Aegean has a wealth of natural beauty that defines the Mediterranean. Inside the Saronic Gulf is a necklace of islands surrounded by the Gulf's protective headlands. Predictable winds and line-of-sight navigation make it an excellent area for relaxed sailing. Exhilarating open water sailing awaits you to the southeast in the islands of the Cyclades, famed for white houses, blue windows and narrow paths full of flowers.

Sailing Conditions: Predictable winds, calm seas and easy line of sight navigation are prevalent throughout, from the Saronic Gulf and Pelpoponese coast in the West, to the Dodecanese and along the Turkish coast in the Southeast. The Cyclades offer deep blue open-water runs. In the summer, the dominant Meltemi wind  blows from the North from 10-15 knots over the Aegean, with stronger winds of up to 25 knots over the middle and northern archipelago and afternoon gusts in the lee of the islands.
