Join us in Greece for Fall 2027!
Join Penny for a 2-week sailing vacation in Greece! We will sail and explore the beautiful Cyclades Islands of Greece!
One of the world’s oldest cities, Athens’ location in Southern Greece made it an important gateway to Europe, Asia, and Africa. Today, Athens remains beloved of sailors for much the same reason. Our base in Athens’ Zea Marina offers rewarding conditions for experienced sailors, with strong winds and exhilarating blue water crossings between the Saronic and Cycladic islands satisfying your taste for adventure.
