Island Hopping Through Greece,
But Knot As You Know It
Sailing The Cyclades
A Greek island holiday is high on many people’s lists, but to see true Greece, you need to sail through the islands. Picture it – waking up in the Mediterranean and jumping into its blue waters, docking up at a taverna serving smoked fish before sharing a shot of ouzo with local fishermen.
Greek culture revolves around boat crews and industry. Practice your sailing skills while embarking on an adventure of a lifetime. What more could you ask for? “Yamas!”
The Itinerary
Athens to Athens (14 day round trip)
Setting off from Athens, we’ll visit the stunning anchorages of the Cyclades — Hydra, Poros, Kea, Kythnos and more. With each trip being unique, no two sailings are the same, with the exception of fixed start and end points. We embrace the spontaneity of the Cyclades and we adapt the itinerary to suit the group’s preferences. While we strive to visit the desired locations, our priority is ensuring the safety and enjoyment of everyone on board. The itinerary may be adjusted or modified as necessary to ensure a smooth and pleasant sailing experience.
Poros is a charming island in the Saronic Gulf, known for its picturesque orange-roofed houses and vibrant harbour. Indulge in delicious Greek cuisine while enjoying breathtaking sea views at waterfront cafes and tavernas.
Hydra is a haven of traditional architecture, featuring stunning stone mansions and narrow cobblestone streets that create a charming atmosphere. With no cars or motorcycles, the island is known for its peaceful ambiance. Explore the vibrant waterfront bars, witness the donkeys gracefully traversing the streets, and create unforgettable memories by parking your boat at the square-shaped wharf, a unique experience that always leads to interesting stories. Hydra promises a delightful blend of history, tranquility, and vibrant coastal vibes.
Discover Kithnos, a hidden gem offering serene beaches and a laid-back atmosphere. Visit the island’s hot springs, relax in the therapeutic waters, and indulge in fresh seafood at tavernas located right on the beach.
Sail to Kea, a tranquil island with pristine beaches and hiking trails. Relax on the sandy shores, hike to ancient sites like the Lion of Kea, and enjoy a traditional meal at local tavernas overlooking the sea.
A captivating island famous for its unique rock formations and stunning beaches. Visit the remarkable Sarakiniko Beach, the catacombs of Milos, and the picturesque fishing village of Klima.

Client Experiences
“For good company, the best fun, excellent sailing, great Greek food and wines Terry’s Pacific Sailing School Greek Islands sailing holiday ticks every box. Not to be missed if you can possibly do it. Definitely all 5 Star and highly recommended.”
– Jonathan Bell, 2018 trip
“Where do I start…! The memories of sailing feel like it was just yesterday! Seamless transfers, an experienced and very knowledgeable crew made it a stress-free holiday filled with exploring ports, mixing with locals, many sunsets on board or in bars with a cocktail or two, and fun-filled inaugural yacht races in fancy dress. It was just magic! (Bed sheets came in handy… lol!) An experience you will hold onto for many years to come…! “
