Greek Isles – Private Yacht | 2022

WOW! Travel Small Group Travel

It’s all you’ve ever dreamed of… and more!

We’ve chartered the Galileo – an intimate, 49 passenger (though we are only filling it to about 36 guests) classically appointed  motor-sailing vessel, with the most attentive, friendly crew – and an itinerary that will make all your friends jealous – visiting the most picturesque villages and iconic islands.

Out of all the islands, we’ve picked the very best and customized our itinerary to give you the perfect balance of natural beauty, iconic Greek villages, and historical sites. Each of our stops has its own unique character, so much that every destination feels different and fresh.

Overview

September/October 2022  

Activity Level: 2-3 out of 4

You are an active traveler who loves to see things up-close and personal. You aren’t bothered by standing or walking for long periods of time (1-2 hours) and you can navigate uneven surfaces and easily climb into and out of different kinds of vehicles or vessels. You can handle the rigors of exploring the world in a hands-on way, even if that means getting up early or staying up late to do it! While your spirit may be willing, sometimes your body needs a rest and you’re okay with staying on the ship to rest every now and then.
