7 Days Yacht Charter Itinerary
Aegean Islands
Poros
Your Greece yacht charter adventure begins in the historic city of Athens, giving you the chance to explore iconic landmarks like the magnificent Parthenon before setting sail.
Your initial voyage will be a relaxed and scenic cruise towards the enchanting island of Poros. Feel the gentle sea breeze as you leave the mainland behind and catch your first glimpse of the fragrant pine forests that define this unique destination. Comprised of two islands connected by a bridge, Poros boasts lush, green landscapes and a charming selection of beaches. As you stroll through the streets, you’ll be immersed in the authentic atmosphere of small, family-run businesses and admire the island’s captivating neoclassical architecture.
Indulge in freshly prepared local cuisine at one of Poros’ inviting cafes, then unwind on its picturesque beaches, perhaps even enjoying a bit of beachcombing. As evening approaches, venture into the hills, exploring the rich vegetation and rewarding yourself with a breathtaking view of the Greek sunset, painting the sky with vibrant colors.
Hydra
Sailing towards Hydra in the morning, you’ll have ample time to bask in the warmth of the Greek sun and admire the stunning scenery unfolding around you. Hydra, still within the Saronic Islands, is a sought-after destination for luxury yacht charters, offering a unique and tranquil escape.
Distinctly quieter than many other Greek islands, Hydra maintains its charm due to its car-free environment. The only vehicles you’ll encounter are those essential for waste disposal, preserving the island’s peaceful atmosphere. Strolling through the streets, you’ll once again be captivated by the warmth of the local people and their businesses, which thrive on the island’s welcoming spirit.
Exploring the coastline aboard your yacht, you’ll discover numerous natural harbors, perfect for anchoring and enjoying secluded beaches and tranquil walks amidst lush vegetation. Adding to Hydra’s allure are its natural springs, offering a revitalizing experience. Conclude your afternoon with a delightful meal at a local taverna, savoring exquisite regional cuisine, before returning to your luxurious yacht and preparing to set sail for your next idyllic destination.
Delos
Entering the Cyclades, you’ll encounter the captivating island of Delos, a destination unlike any other. Though largely uninhabited and, in places, barren, this island is believed to be the mythological birthplace of Apollo. Held in high regard by the Greek people, Delos is treated with the reverence of a religious monument and is a frequent destination for pilgrimages.
Delos is replete with readily accessible archaeological sites, offering a wealth of ruins for exploration. One of the island’s most popular historical attractions is the Terrace of the Lions. Dedicated to Apollo, seven majestic lions still stand guard along the Sacred Way, their significance comparable to that of the Sphinx in Egypt. Another notable site is the House of Dionysus, a picturesque ruin featuring standing pillars and partially intact mosaics, offering a glimpse into the past.
After an engaging morning immersed in the historical monuments of ancient Greece, enjoy a relaxing lunch aboard your luxurious yacht. The delightful combination of olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and raki will prepare you for an afternoon on the waves. Engage in exhilarating windsurfing or take to the jet skis to burn off some energy as you leisurely cruise towards your next destination: the vibrant island of Mykonos.
Mykonos
Begin your day in Mykonos with a hearty breakfast to fuel your adventures. This renowned island is famous for its vibrant nightlife, so remember to pace yourself throughout the day to fully enjoy the evening’s festivities.
Upon arrival, you can choose to relax on the island’s popular sandy beaches or immediately immerse yourself in its captivating terrain by venturing into the hills to admire the iconic 16th-century windmills. While most were built by the Venetians, some construction wasn’t completed until the early 20th century, showcasing the island’s rich history.
As afternoon fades into evening, treat yourself to a delicious and fulfilling meal at acclaimed restaurants like M-eating or Bill and Goo Gastronomy Project, preparing you for an unforgettable night in the heart of Mykonos. With an abundance of choices for nightlife, you can dance the night away in one of the local clubs with resident DJs and tribute acts or opt for a chic and classy cocktail bar, working your way through their creative list of alcoholic concoctions. For a truly unforgettable experience, we highly recommend visiting Principote Panormos or Nammos.
Santorini
After a restful recovery from your exciting night in Mykonos, indulge in a well-deserved lie-in before embarking on a refreshing swim in the stunning waters surrounding the picture-postcard island of Santorini.
Upon disembarking, you’ll notice Santorini’s unique beaches, characterized by their distinctive grey sands, a contrast to the golden hues found on neighboring islands. However, White Beach offers recognizable and picturesque bays, perfect for snorkeling and enjoying your yacht’s water toys.
Following a delicious meal of local cuisine at Bellonias Villas, you and your guests will delve into the past with a visit to the archaeological site of Akrotiri, immersing yourselves in the history of Greece’s Bronze Age. Afterwards, venture into town to admire the iconic blue-domed churches and whitewashed buildings that cascade down the island’s steep slopes.
Take the opportunity to stop at family-run businesses along the way to discover Greek specialties, including locally produced wine, which you can also find at the renowned Santo Winery.
Symi
Following two exhilarating days on some of Greece’s most celebrated islands, your day in Symi offers a welcome opportunity to relax and immerse yourself in the more traditional aspects of Greek culture and lifestyle.
To fully experience the island, head to the town of Yialos and partake in the vibrant summer festivals. Held annually from July to September, the Symi Festival features a diverse array of free, open-air concerts, dances, and social events, all taking place in the town square. Enjoy these festivities at your leisure and take a short tour of some of the island’s beautiful churches before returning to your luxurious yacht.
While Symi may not offer an extensive list of activities, the island boasts charming communities and warm, welcoming locals. Anchor in the quaint town of Galios and enjoy a long evening of generous hospitality in a setting that epitomizes traditional Greece. From the pastel-hued buildings to the lively tavernas lining the harbor, this is a stop you won’t soon forget.
Rhodes
Final destination. Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese Islands, is a highly sought-after destination and a jewel of the Greek isles. As you approach the magnificent medieval harbor, you’ll immediately understand its allure, evident in the thousands of visitors who flock here year-round.
Following the peaceful respite of Symi, the vibrant energy of Rhodes reignites your holiday spirit. Explore the bustling streets, hunting for unique souvenirs as you make your way to a local restaurant for lunch. Savor the authentic flavors of Greek cuisine, accompanied by regional wine, before embarking on an adventure to discover the island’s remarkable historical treasures.
Begin your exploration at the Castle of Monolithos, perched high above the settlements. These ancient ruins offer breathtaking panoramic views of the island and a captivating glimpse into medieval times. The UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town of Rhodes, is another must-see. Wander along the impressive city walls, envisioning the armed patrols of centuries past, and then relax at a harborside restaurant for a delightful meal accompanied by stunning sunset views. Rhodes provides a perfect blend of history, beauty, and vibrant atmosphere, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
