Key Information
Day 1
Set sail
Sailing
Head to Lavrio Port to meet up with your fellow adventurers and skipper at a taverna here. Get your first glimpse of the yacht and settle in on board - your skipper will give you a quick tour of the boat and assign cabins before the time comes to set sail to the lush green island of Kea. Could there be a dreamier feeling than sailing out into the blue expanse of the Aegean with several days of the good life waiting ahead of you? Learn more about life onboard from the skipper and get some sailing tips and techniques to kick things off. After a while cruising through the waters you'll reach Kea in time to explore the charming village before settling in for a delicious dinner at a local taverna, tucking into myriad classic Greek flavours. Settle into your cabin this evening for a first taste of sleeping on board your yacht.
Day 2
Kythnos
Sailing
Wake up for the first time on board your yacht, with the sound of the Aegean lapping at the heel as you sip coffee, prepare breakfast and grab a morning swim. Mornings don't come much better than this. Set sail later this morning to a bay by the ancient Tetrapolis of Kea and see why it has been attracting visitors since the 17th century. Lay anchor and step onto dry land on Kea, take a dip in the sea from one of the island's most beautiful beaches and then set off for a relaxing afternoon’s sailing to the picturesque port of Loutra on Kythnos. The island is known for its natural warm springs, which you will have the chance to soak away in before heading out for dinner on the island at a classic taverna. Settle back on board for another cosy night in the Aegean.
Day 3
Serifos
Sailing
The rhythm of life onboard the yacht doesn't take long to slip into, with another leisurely breakfast and morning swim to kick things off. Today's sail is over to Serifos island - an integral part of Greek mythology, associated with two of its most famous heroes: Ulysses and Perseus. This downwind crossing is a great opportunity to practice some of the sailing techniques that you've learned so from your skipper. If you're up for it, Serifos is a great spot try some paddle boarding off one of Serifos’ many secluded beaches. There are four paddleboards onboard the boat to be used at a variety of opportunities. The warm, calm seas in this part of Greece are ideal for paddleboarding. Enjoy sundowners and another Greek feast tonight, either on board the yacht or at a tavern on the waterfront.
Day 4
Kythnos
Sailing
Start your day with explorations on land this morning, exploring Chora’s narrow, whitewashed alleys overflowing with green, pink and purple bougainvillea at your own pace. Maybe hike the steep trail to the lovely Ag. Konstantinos chapel and enjoy the amazing views of the Aegean Sea and the islands of Kimolos, Milos, Sifnos and your next destination in the distance, Kythnos. Alternatively you can relax on the pristine beaches of Livadi and Livadaki, the morning and early afternoon is yours to enjoy as you like. After a leisurely lunch at a local taverna, rejoin your yacht and your skipper and set sail for the western side of Kythnos, stopping at the gold-sanded beaches of Apokrousi and Kolona which connect the main island to the islet of Agios Loukas. This is a truly dreamy spot for a swim and some paddleboarding. Soak up the last of Kythnos on land before hopping back on the yacht, sip sundowners from the deck and enjoy another Mediterranean evening meal.
Day 5
Lavrio Port and home
Sailing
Spend your final morning immersed in the beauty of Kythnos, soaking up the turquoise Aegean waters with an early morning swim or paddle boarding session, or simply relax on deck with a coffee. After a late breakfast you'll set sail one last time, heading north back towards the Greek mainland soaking up the last moments on the open sea. You'll be back at Lavrio Port around lunchtime where the adventure comes to an end as you bid farewell to your yacht and crew. From here you can head back into Athens city centre to continue your Greek travels, or head straight to the airport if you have a flight to catch. We recommend you don't book any flights departing before 5pm today to give you enough time.

Transfers
Your sailing adventure starts at the marina at Lavrio Port, located about 60km from the centre of Athens and 30 km from Athens International Airport. The group will meet up with the skipper at the To Petrino restaurant at Lavrio port at 15.15 on Day 1. You'll need to make your own way to Lavrio Port - there are public transport options available with buses every 2 hours from Athens Airport which take 1hr 45 mins to reach Lavrio, however it is far easier and quicker to take a taxi, especially if heading straight to the port after landing at the airport. A taxi will cost €50-60 euros one way, you can take any of the yellow taxis waiting directly outside of the airport arrivals terminal. The ride to the port will take 30 minutes. On day 5, your skipper will return the group back to Lavrio Port by 2pm at the latest for you to make your own way back to the city or to the airport.
Travel options
There are regular flights to Athens from airports across the UK and Europe, and direct flights from a number of major hubs on the east coast of the United States.

What is the food like?
All breakfasts and a selection of your lunches and dinners will be taken on board the boat. This is a participatory sailing trip, so you'll help muck in with meal preparation when on board – this is all part of the adventure, and makes for a great team bonding experience! For the meals on board, your host will provide the food ingredients, and you and your fellow travellers will plan and cook the meals together. Depending on the day and the conditions, either lunch or dinner will then be taken at a taverna (at your own expense) with the other meal of that day being prepared together on the boat. There will be as many local, organic and Mediterranean ingredients available as possible. For breakfast, you can expect yoghurt, fruit, cereals, juices, cheeses and bread and for the group-prepared meals, there'll be a variety of options with meat, seafood and veggie dishes all available. The lunch and dinners taken on the islands will be in local tavernas with a range of seasonal dishes and fresh fish to try, and you can pick what you'd like to eat. All the classics will be available, with fresh Greek salads, halloumi, tzatziki, fresh pitta, gemista (stuffed tomatoes and peppers) and plenty of seafood if that's your thing.
Vegetarian, vegan and most other dietary requirements can be provided for, just let your host know before the tour begins.
What is the accommodation like?
On board the yacht
For the duration of the trip, you’ll stay on a 56-foot Ocean Star sailing yacht, equipped with five cabin/berth sections accommodating 10 guests, with five toilets. Certain departures will stay on a 51.2-foot sailing yacht of a very similar standard and lay out, but this yacht accommodates eight guests over four cabins. Both boats have an indoor living room, kitchen and dining area, as well as an outdoor lounge and deck where you can relax when sailing. Cabins are double, twin-share, or triple-share. All shared berths are allocated on a same gender basis.
Upgrades
For solo travellers looking for their own space, an optional private cabin can be booked for an extra charge, see Optional Extras for the price . Please request this at the time of booking (this is subject to availability)
This trip has been rated as Easy
This trip is suitable for anyone with basic fitness levels. There are no strenuous activities, although being fond of the sea and being comfortable in the water and able to swim will help you soak up the adventure to it's fullest. The sailing journeys are around 2-4 hours each day and there'll be plenty of opportunities to help with the sailing and learn techniques from your skipper, no prior sailing knowledge is required. The boat's interior is designed to achieve maximum space efficiency and you will soon become accustomed to the few steep stairs to your cabin.
What if i need to skip an activity?
The swimming and paddleboarding opportunities on this trip are totally optional. You are very welcome to just relax on board if these activities don't take your fancy.
What will I need to carry?
You'll just need a small daypack for water and personal belonging to take with you whenever you hop off the boat to explore the islands on foot.
The Cyclades Islands are known for their warm and sunny weather. We run this trip in April, May, June, and September and October: the best times to visit this part of Greece with fewer crowds and pleasant temperatures. The average temperatures during these months are typically up in the mid- to high-20s ℃ (70-80 °F) during the day and in the low- to mid-20s °C (60-70 °F) at night, although April and October can be cooler, especially at night. The months of July and August are more crowded and the temperatures can reach uncomfortable highs, so we don't currently offer trips in the Cyclades during these months.
Whilst unlikely, should adverse conditions prevail, your guide will have a back-up plan, such as mooring in a different bay on alternative sides of the islands. On very rare occasions, it is up to the judgement of the skipper to alter or cancel a sailing route.
Excellent sail!
My first sailing holiday and it was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Great for someone who doesn't like to stop, but probably should every now and then. Great itinerary, host and fellow group members.

A beautiful way to see the Greek islands
I’ve always wanted to sail the Greek islands so it was nice to tick the experience off my list and have everything organised. I didn’t learn as much as I’d hoped in regards to sailing but I was probably to blame for that by not asking questions and Instead laying up on the front deck reading my book! I hadn’t planned to be so chilled! Very relaxing and a great group of people. Lots of fun was had on shore in the local bars. I really enjoyed the evening we anchored and cooked on the boat and would have loved another evening of doing that, but it was also nice to dock and eat local food. Our captain Orestis was amazing and a very calm and friendly presence on the yacht. He also had a good eye for spotting dolphins! I especially enjoyed jumping off the yacht daily, to swim to quiet secluded beaches and exploring old ruins. It was great to have paddle boards and snorkels on board to use. A really great experience meeting great people and seeing more of Greece
Great trip!
Spent an amazing 4 nights sailing the Greek Islands. Orestis was our skipper, who was very friendly and helpful and we could take part in as much or little activity as we liked. We stopped overnight in 3 charming ports with plenty of facilities, bars, restaurants, shops etc. Final night anchored in a beautiful bay, spent on board with all the wonderful friends we had made over the trip. Highly recommended!
Sailing (some of) the Cyclades
Excellent trip . . . had a brilliant time with amazing views / sights, great company, superb skipper (Orestis)
Really enjoyed swimming and paddleboarding from the boat . . . and the lovely harbours that we stayed at, topped off on the last night resting at anchor in a stunning secluded bay
Sail on!
Phenomenal views on our private tour. At times the only ones in the bay. Loved this trip with an absolutely fabulous group of people!
What a great trip!
We had a fantastic trip sailing in the Greek islands. Our Captain, Nikolas, was professional and friendly and made everyone on the boat feel comfortable. He was tremendous. Most of the group on the boat were strangers but we had a great time. We're so glad we did this trip!
Absolutely Brilliant
From someone who worked in very high end travel pre-covid, this was my first organised trip since and a total stab in the dark. I'd never been on a boat, to Greece, or on a non-work group trip before. Win. Win. Win. What an awesome experience and something I'd NEVER have done otherwise. The people, skipper, boat and experiences were exactly what I needed and exceeded expectations. Dreamy waters, lovely people, gorgeous hiking and 30 degrees in October. I'm sold and already planning 2025. If I have to put one negative down, I think the boat would be very tight for more people (we had 7) but otherwise take me back!
Wonderful adventure without the crowds
I admit I was a little apprehensive before I arrived at the boat - I'd never been sailing before & I knew we'd all be living in very close quarters. I very quickly realised I had absolutely nothing to worry about - our wonderful captain, Nikolas, put everyone at ease immediately & my fellow adventurers were an absolute delight to spend time with. It was so great to visit some of the lesser-known & lesser-visited islands. At the swim stops & on our hikes we were often the only ones there & it felt so special to be in such incredible places without crowds. The colours of the Cyclades will be forever imprinted in my memory. I highly recommend the trip if you're considering it!
Fantastic Greek Island Adventure
Our Greek island-hopping adventure has been an absolute pleasure and one of the best trips we’ve done, mostly for two reasons: an outstanding Captain and a fantastic group of fellow travelers onboard. Our Captain Nikolas perfectly balanced his professionalism as a sailor and his enthusiasm as a guide. Captain Nikolas operates safely, knowledgeably, and yet flexible to trip demands. Personally, he is friendly, communicative, funny, and really dedicated to his customers having the best experience that they possibly can. His attitude fosters a sense of team-building that quickly brought our group together and kept us together throughout the trip. His attention to details such as learning names, arranging berthing, and making recommendations made everyone feel welcome and well cared for, and his enjoyment of his job is clear, even though his duties are not always easy. I would be remiss without mentioning our “crew” of fellow adventurers. They were great. It takes a certain attitude to group in such close quarters for a few days, and with our crew I never in any way felt uncomfortable. In fact, the nicest part of this Adventure was a re-kindling of joy and appreciation for all of the ways we can see the world through each other’s eyes and to know that the world is full of wonderful people doing amazing things in their own communities. I think that it’s this shared passion for life that will send me on my next Adventure. Cheers.
Amazing Adventure!
Best trip, loved every minute ❤️
Sun, sea and great company...
A brilliant few days spent with some lovely people. Our skipper, Nikos, was an exceptional host. Serious about safely navigating us across the waves, but so relaxed and fun and informative at the same time. The islands we visited were beautifully unspoiled, and we were shown the very best bits by Nikos and George. The food was so good, the weather was perfect and i have come home feeling energised and happy. This has definitely encouraged me to look at other Much Better Adventures for future trips.
If you're thinking about this, book it!
This was my second Much better adventure trip and I had high expectations from my last. This was above and beyond what I expected from the trip, the boat was amazing (even the smaller bunks were comfy), the group was a real great mix of people but all of us got a long really well, both our amazing skipper Nikolas and guide George were amazing. Overall an amazing time.
If you're wanting a nice and relaxing boat trip with great views, great food and explore the Greek islands I cannot recommend this enough.
Great trip, would highly recommend
This trip was brilliant and I would highly recommend it. We had a great group of people and Nikolas was the best host we could have asked for. We had lots of time sailing (or motoring), swim stops to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, or explore local ruins. There were arranged optional hikes that did include some steep climbs but the guide George was very knowledgeable and passionate about the islands and their history. The Sunset hike gave spectacular views - don’t forget your torch! Nikolas took us to local restaurants each evening and made sure that everything was perfect for us all.
The boat itself initially looked very small and the cabins are very compact but we adapted very quickly.
Overall, a relaxing and fun trip
Super!
This was my first much better adventures trip and it was beyond what I had hoped for! George the skipper was amazing, we had a few changes due to unlucky winds but it made the trip even better! Everything he did was to make sure we were all safe and had a good time! Sailing boat life, the food, the bays, the hikes, the views… but it’s the people that you are with that really make it Panemorfi! Tears because it ended, but full of love because it happened…. Unforgettably perfect.
An excellent trip which I
An excellent trip which I would thoroughly recommend. George, our skipper, was very friendly and was great at adapting the itinerary to our interests and the weather. I booked last minute and was glad I did. I will remember this trip for a while to come!
Had an amazing time on this trip. The other group members were interesting and great fun, and we had a wonderful time. The hikes were interesting too with our guide George telling us about the history of the island, and there was lots of time for swimming around in the sea! Lukas our host was fabulous too.
The food was unbelievable.
Fantastic experience. The boat was well equipped and there was plenty of space for us all. Great facilities and local guides. Going at the end of the season meant we had the islands mostly to ourselves while still having the perfect boat weather. I want to take up sailing now!
The trip was very enjoyable. The sailing was great when the wind the allowed. The skipper had a good sense of humour, was very competent, and was aware of our comfort and safety. Seeing the Spring wildflowers was lovely on the hikes and the hike guide was well informed. We learnt a lot about the local herbs which went into our lunch! Swimming from the boat was a great moment and it was great to visit some of the islands off the beaten track.
Amazing experience! Lovely boat, beautiful islands, great hikes with spectacular views. Fotis (excellent skipper and great company) made sure we all had a great time!
This trip was simply beautiful. The islands we visited were truly lovely and unspoilt, and visiting in spring before the main summer tourist season kicked off was a good decision. The weather in April was warm, comfortable and (mostly) sunny, and we also got to see the islands as green and flowery as possible.
Living and travelling on the boat was a great experience. Skippers, Fotis and Lucas, did an awesome job looking after us, they kept us comfortable and safe and explained everything as we went along. We had almost no wind for actual sailing until the final day, but that's just the luck of the draw and we still had a good time pottering around by motor. It was brilliant fun when we could actually go by wind power, too. Fotis even hit the jackpot on the first day, and managed to pull a huge yellowfin tuna out of the sea, which a local restaurant cooked for us the same night. He made it clear that this is not a normal occurrence, though, so don't get your hopes up!
Walking guide George was extremely knowledgeable, and really got under the skin of Kythnos. We learned a huge amount about the island's history, flora, fauna, economics, and local lifestyle.
Overall there was a good balance between activity and relaxation, the food throughout was delicious, and the small Cyclades are certainly a recommended destination.
Great trip made even better by the awesome group of travellers we were lucky to spend time with. Favourite part was the remote beach at Kythnos where we stopped for the day.
This is as my 1st MBA and it’s was awesome! If you are hesitating to book, take the plunge and book!! Relaxing, exhilarating, fun and an amazing group of people. Don’t overpack as there is limited space on the yacht but saying that you have everything you need. You need to be happy to go with the flow as the winds and weather changes but that made the adventure more fun. Our skipper Foatis was amazing and we were kept safe and informed at all times. Great hiking with George as well! Amazing trip!!
This sailing trip was a lot of fun. The hike versus sailing ratio was perfect. The views, sensational. The local food was delicious. The Skipper made sure there was enough food and water for everyone and made everyone feel that they were being taken care of. My only gripe was the lack of room when sailing. A few too many people for the space. But if you don't mind tight living, definitely go for this trip.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 199kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
- Driving 1000miles/1609km would be approx. 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person if there was 2 of you in it).
- A return economy class flight London - New York would be approx. 1,619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approx. 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
No prior knowledge is required and your captain will brief you about life on board and the basics of sailing. The boat's interior is designed to achieve maximum space efficiency and you will soon become accustomed to the few steep stairs to your cabin. Sailing journeys are around 2-4 hours each day, you'll be able to learn sailing techniques as you go each day if you're keen.
If you are travelling with excess luggage that you do not wish to bring on the boat, there are two options:
At Athens airport or In Athens city
Very. Your skipper is a qualified, native Greek seaman with vast experience navigating the local Aegean waters, the Mediterranean and beyond. The boats are also put under thorough monitoring during the winter in order to be in excellent condition when the sailing season starts.
Both breakfast and a combination of lunches and dinners are provided on board on a self-prepare basis. Your host will shop for and try to use as many local, organic and Mediterranean ingredients as possible. You and your fellow travellers will take care of planning and cooking the meals together. This is all part of the fun of a participatory sailing adventure. The other lunches and dinners which aren't included will be taken at local tavernas on the islands. Due to limited storage on the boat and differing ingredient preferences within the group, you may have an opportunity to replenish stocks on one of the islands. The skipper's job is demanding, and they therefore do not have the capacity to always offer assistance with the meal preparations, but will guide the group on this aspect of the trip and assist with replenishing supplies on the islands.
This trip visits locations where daytime temperatures can be extremely high during the times of year when this trip operates. High humidity and limited access to shade can also be factors, and warm temperatures can continue into the nighttime, which additionally influences the body’s ability to cool down. Personal care should be taken to keep cool as best possible in the conditions, such as wearing appropriate clothing and proper hydration. Very high temperatures can impair an individual’s physical abilities to perform an activity that they may otherwise be able to do competently at cooler temperatures. People may experience symptoms associated with dehydration and Heat Stroke. Your guide(s) are trained to mitigate the risks associated with high temperatures, by carefully managing the intensity of the activity, and to provide the appropriate support response should someone feel ill during the trip. Should you experience health issues during your trip you should inform your guide immediately so the proper care can be provided.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with.
