Sailing Tours & Trips in Aegean Islands
Picture sailing between Greek islands in the Aegean, waking up in different harbors. Sailing trips mean living aboard catamarans or monohulls, visiting islands tour boats skip, and swimming straight from the boat. Could be Cyclades (Mykonos, Paros, Naxos), Dodecanese (Rhodes, Kos), or Sporades. Sail during days, anchor in secluded bays, hit island towns for evenings. It's active but relaxed, with stunning scenery constantly.

What people love about Sailing Tours in Aegean Islands
- Greece Sailing Adventure: Cyclades Islands
Did the 10 day sailing trip around greece! Had an amazing time. Lots of time spent on the boat, beautiful swimming spots and a great way to spend a short time at lots of islands. Spent most of the day out on the water and afternoon/nights exploring different greek islands. We had the most amazing skippers (George and Orestis). They mad the trip so fun and we’re full of information about Greece and the history. Definitely recommend this trip! Best skippers ever!
- Sailing Greece - Santorini to Santorini
Excellent tour, great skipper, Marios and great group participation. Though travelling alone, I never felt left out. Our skipper / guide did everything to make the tour a joy !
- Sailing Greece - Mykonos to Mykonos
We had a wonderful time sailing through the Greek Isles! We were able to visit several islands, including some that larger ships can't get to. Our captain, Kristina, was terrific, and she even led us to some spots where we could jump off the boat and swim to a cave, snorkel over a wreck of a World War 1 German plane, and just a random swim in the Mediterranean. G Adventures was excellent and had our back when a couple of unforeseen issues occurred. It wasn't a luxurious trip because we lived on a sailboat instead of a cruise ship, but it was a great adventure!
