You can use the X96 Bus from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos airport to Alimos Marina or a taxi to Dia Noche Cafe in Alimos Marina, Kalamaki. Please ensure you arrive at the marina by 17:00 on Day 1 of your tour.

Is there a specific age requirement for tour participants?

Tour participants must be at least 18 years old. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

What group sizes do you operate with?

Our tours operate with small groups to ensure a more personalized experience. Please check the specific tour details for the group size.

What languages are spoken on the tour?

The primary language spoken on the tour is English, but our tour guides can accommodate a variety of languages.

How can I manage my payments for the tour?

Payments can be managed online through our secure payment portal. We accept major credit cards.

I would like to look at a range of sailing options for Greece / Croatia for a group of 3 families approximately 20 people. We would like a 2 week plan with a skipper +/- chef. Athens/ islands ... some walking in-between locations would be perfect.

We can look into a private tour for you. A sailing boat will unfortunately be too small for 20 travelers. For a cruise, we would have to look into a cruise. Would this be okay for you? May I also ask how old children will be at the time of travel? Also, what would be the groups per person budget?

would like to confirm this tour is taking place, if so, would like to sign on and please advise how do i put down deposit or payment procedures etc., I am flying into Athen at 6 Am on 9/21 and assume there is enough time to make it to the boat/meeting place. please suggest transportation. Please advise any additional things i need to be aware.

All of our tours are guaranteed departures, so this tour will be going ahead as planned. 6am will be fine on Day 1, as you aren't required to join the group until 5pm for a welcome meeting and safety briefing before beginning the sailing journey to Mykonos. If you are ready to book please select the 'book now' button located on the left-hand side to secure your spot on Sailing Greece - Athens to Santorini. Your payment options will be explained at this point.

Can I charge a CPAP machine on the boat?

Unfortunately, this trip cannot accommodate the use of a CPAP machine. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Do the boats have bedrooms with ensuites?

Our tour boats are equipped with shared facilities; private ensuites are not available.

Can I join the tour as a single traveler?

Yes, you can join as a single traveler. We can pair you up with another person of the same gender to share a cabin.

I loved this tour. I do love sailing though and was under no illusion about the conditions on the boat. Others weren't so happy - haha. I love G Adventures and they always do a great job. It was mostly each destination planned out by the skipper and then we were left to our own devices once we got there, but i think it depends on your skipper how involved they are in showing you around. If you could only do one week, do the Athens - Mykonos week. You get to see some Saronic Islands as well as Cycladic, which gives a more interesting/stimulating tour in my opinion. But then the waters were warmer and the beaches spectacular the further south you go (but that could have been coming further into summer). The food on the boat was a bit annoying when everyone has varying food requirements, but whatever. Bear in mind you're expected to give your skipper CEO a tip on top of the tour cost. All in all an amazing way to get to see the Greek Islands. I didn't want to leave. Literally spent several days trying to change my flights so I could have another week on the boat! Take good walking shoes, and at least one warm set of clothes - it sure can get windy out on the ocean!Show more

  Traveler•Written August 2024
  The 2, or 3 children will be 15 and 16. We were hoping for a sailboat/ catamaran but happy to have a look at cruise options. As for budget per person .... if you could give a few options that would be great. 10-14 days Greece/ Turkey/ Croatia we are not fixed on a definite location as yet. Do you have Gulet options?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2024
  The issue I am facing is the size of the group. Most Sailboats and Gulet's. Most are able to fit 8 - 12 travelers maximum.
