ATHENS - In the Paths of Ancient Mariners
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 on this two-week bareboat charter. 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
