Day 1
Corfu
01.
Ease into island life with a lazy morning or some exploring before your Sail In Greece adventure begins this afternoon.
Check in from 5pm, meet your Rep, Captain, crew and new shipmates, then enjoy a Greek-style welcome dinner before heading ashore to dive into Corfu’s nightlife.
First time here? Arrive a day or two early to wander the Old Town, soak up the history, or snorkel in the Ionian’s turquoise waters.
There we will get the chance to enjoy a drink or 3 with our new shipmates while tucking into the traditional Greek-style welcome dinner on board!
Check in: 5 – 6pm
Meals: Dinner
Overnight: Corfu Town
How do I get to Corfu?
Easy! Fly into Corfu Town’s airport or take a ferry from either Igoumenitsa on Greece’s mainland or from Saranda in Albania.
Note: In case that all of our guests are on board by 17:00 and weather conditions allow us to, we might cruise towards our 1st destination which is Agios Nikolaos.
Day 2
Corfu - Paxos
02.
It’s our first full day under sail, and we’re bound for the secluded jewels of Paxos and Antipaxos. These sister islands are Greece at its most enchanting—rugged cliffs plunging into sapphire seas, hidden caves waiting to be explored, and hillsides draped with olive groves and vineyards.
After a relaxed lunch on board, we’ll dock in the charming harbor village of Gaios, our home for the night. From here, the afternoon is yours to shape.
Hire a bike and ride the scenic coastal road down to Mongonissi Beach, a quiet paradise perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
Or, if you’d rather keep things slow, claim a spot at a taverna or beachfront bar and indulge in the island’s homegrown olives and wine while the waves lap the shore.
As the sun dips low, you’ll feel why Paxos is loved by those who find it—it’s small, authentic, and utterly unforgettable.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Overnight: Paxos
⚓️ Paxos Sightseeing Tour
Note: In case that all of our guests are on board by 17:00 and weather conditions allow us to, we might cruise towards our 1st destination which is Agios Nikolaos.
Day 3
Paxos - Parga
03.
Is there any better way to start the day than diving straight into the Ionian? We don’t think so.
After a refreshing swim, we set course for Parga—a seaside gem wrapped in history and charm. Explore its fortress ruins, wander narrow streets lined with tavernas, and see why its beaches are counted among the Ionian’s very best.
This evening is yours: stretch out on golden sand, sip a cocktail by the sea, and watch the sun sink over this magical town.
Meals: breakfast, lunch
Overnight: Parga
⚓️ Parga Wine Tasting
Day 4
Parga - Preveza
04.
Cruising the Ionian coastline toward Preveza, our Captain’s mission (beyond steering the ship) is to track down the perfect swim stop, followed by a lunch spot that’s pure magic.
In Preveza, your final evening is wide open. Stroll the lively cobbled lanes of the Saitan Bazaar (yes, it really means “Satan!”), discover the town’s hidden tavernas, or pay a visit to the must-see ouzo distillery before we toast the end of an unforgettable journey.
White sands, sapphire seas—yes, we’ve saved the best sail for last.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Day 5
Departure
05.
All good things must come to an end… but not before one last swim in the Ionian.
After breakfast, our Captain will drop anchor at a perfect spot for a dip before we sail into the lively port of Nydri on Lefkada.
If it’s your first time here, consider staying on Lefkada is worth it. Paddle out to the Hidden Blue Cave, explore secret coves by kayak, or simply slow down and unwind on the island’s golden beaches.
Meals: breakfast
Check out: 11.30am

The difference between island hopping with us, and island hopping with any other mainstream-commercial ferry company,
is mainly, the overall experience and comfort!
Commercial Island hopping, would mean standing for hours in line, just to boat your ferry,
traveling with other thousands of people, sometimes for many hours without truly being comfortable during the trip, absurd time schedules,
as most commercial ferries have crazy embarkation/disembarkation schedules (sometimes as early, as 04:00 in the morning).
Additionally, during commercial Island hopping, you won’t have any standard accommodation for that period, which means that you will be carrying your luggage everywhere you go, without the possibility of leaving them somewhere stress-free.
On the other hand, traveling with us, on your own private gulet, would mean, overwhelming comfort due to the fact, that you will have the same accommodation for the whole trip’s duration! Of course, plenty of storage to leave your luggage and belongings, without the fear of losing anything,
as our crew never leaves the ship.
This means that your belongings will be safe, throughout the week you will be traveling with us! And also, besides the cruising hours, there is no other major time restriction, so you will have plenty of time, to do whatever you want!
We do have a variety of cabins, which range from doubles to twins (lower beds-bunk beds) to triples and a few quads, depending on the operating gulet.
All cabins besides, their comfortable mattresses, are ensuite with their own shower, a hair dryer, a wardrobe for storage, reading lights,
their own individual A/C device and an electric fan!
If you want to be in the same cabin with your friends, just mention it, while booking with us.
We can not guarantee that you will be together, but we will make everything possible to actually do that!
Please keep in mind, that we provide 1 set of fresh linen and towels, for the cruising week.
Many of our guests, choose to travel alone, as it follows the basic idea of our cruises.
Independent individuals, come alone but travel with same-like-minded people, so many in the end, actually become friends!
Please know, that if you are traveling solo, we will always try to allocate you to a cabin, with your same gender.
On the other hand, if you desire to have your own private cabin, there will be an extra charge of 50% of the total amount of 1 person’s price
In general, on Greek islands, you can find affordable food and drinks, everywhere!
You can choose, between eating traditional Greek comfort food, like a Souvlaki, at a price of 3€, or sitting at a local tavern/restaurant,
for a much proper meal, at a price of 8-15€ per person.
Throughout, Greek Islands, drinks cost approximately, 6-12€
Water is offered complimentary by us, only during meal courses, so water is NOT included in your package!
If you want any extra water, we offer 1.5L bottles (Natural mineral Water), at 2€
The A/C, operates up to 6 hours, per day (if of course, it is permitted by the government’s Covid regulations) from 8 am till midnight and is already included in your cruise package.
Please note, that the A/C works only when the generator is working at the exact same time. Though, due to local regulations, the normal generator must be turned off, after midnight on various ports, except the silent ones, that we use after midnight.
The power supply, from the shore at the ports of Corfu, Kassiopi, Sivota and Gaios (due to their weak infrastructure), is not powerful enough to operate all our A/C units, simultaneously. Thus you must keep in mind, that there are possibly hot nights, especially during mid June, July, August and mid September, where the A/C, does not work after midnight and many of our guests decide to sleep on board, under the stars! If you are not prepared to do that, we strongly suggest to include our overnight a/c & fan service.
For our guests that are interested to operate their a/c and fan after midnight, we provide an optional collateral service, that costs 140 euros per person per week and if you decide to purchase it, you will be able to use your ac unit in your cabin, from midnight till 8 am. This service must be pre-booked and cannot be purchased while on board. Please keep in mind, that all our cabins are equipped with independent electric fans, as well, hence when our boats are connected to the shore’s power supply, our fans can work properly, during the night, as well.
Any means of transportation, such as local buses, taxis, or even water taxis, are not included, in any of our cruise packages.
However, we would be more than happy to arrange any possible transportation, for you!
A standard “airport to the vessel (and vice versa)” transfer, is around 30-40€ per person (depending on the Island),
while shorter, in-town transportation would vary, between 8€ and 15€ per person.
Please keep in mind that usually at Parga port, our boats are not able to dock due to scarcity in docking space and the water taxis available in the area will cost you around 5/10 euros per person round trip.
In case you want to arrange your transportation, prior to your arrival, send us an email, at: travel@sail-ingreece.com or info@sail-ingreece.com
Our gulets share quite a number of electrical sockets, both on the inside and the outside, of the vessel.
With this in mind, and as we do provide extension cords and multi-docking stations, you will be able to charge your devices,
either while cruising while the generator is active, or while docked at port!
You are able to have a shower, any time of the day, but keep in mind that when the boat is docked at some of the ports we visit,
the engines are turned off, the water flow is reduced and as a result, there is no hot water after midnight.
Water tanks on board are limited, meaning, when multiple cabins shower simultaneously, hot water is more likely to end.
If your shower does not have hot water, please inform your captain in order to open the water heater, and please wait for at least,
15 to 20 minutes, until it heats up the water again.
All basic cruise options include a Half Board, which means daily breakfast and lunch. (Buffet style)
For breakfast, click here, to see our onboard menu items.
For lunch, we do offer a much more detailed plan, which you can see yourself, here: Weekly Lunch Schedule
Besides breakfast and lunch, we do offer a special complimentary Captain’s dinner, which basically, is a dinner that passengers, enjoy,
alongside the crew and the Captain!
All courses, include water, though if you want extra, a 1.5L water bottle, is at 1,5€
Yes, we offer a variety of drink options to enhance your experience on board. You can choose from two tailored drink packages, designed to suit different preferences and budgets. Additionally, we provide comprehensive drink menus for both onboard purchases and pre-orders, allowing you to select specific beverages and quantities in advance.

We do respect our passenger’s food preferences and requirements and that is why our Chefs, in case it is needed, will prepare optional dishes, as well.
(vegetarian, lactose-free, pescatarian, vegan, etc.)
Please keep in mind that is not allowed to consume food and drinks inside our cabins and also there is no communal fridge that can be used for storage.
Adventure traveling, like Island hopping, requires travel insurance and we strongly suggest, purchasing one!
For further details, please review our travel insurance section.
All gulets are motorized vessels, although they are equipped with sails. Operating solely under wind power is highly unpredictable and not practical for maintaining our weekly operational schedule.
As our cruises run consecutively, Captains prefer to rely on the gulet’s motor engine to ensure consistent and timely navigation throughout each cruising week.
All the gulets in our fleet, have only European-type sockets.
Please keep in mind that our electric sockets operate with 220V, and the particular current is produced on board, by our generator or when the boat is docked at a port and there is electricity supply available. Having said that, please keep in mind that the 220V is not available on board 24/7, hence we always suggest to bring power bands on board, to charge your mobile or other electrical devices.
Note: It is mandatory to know this beforehand, as the electrical items/devices you want to bring on board, need to agree, with this specification.
We have travelers from all over the world, and we are truly delighted about this!
Most of our passengers are Australian, British, German, Spanish, Croatian, French, Italian, South African, Canadian and American!
So, most of our passengers are mainly English speakers!
In order to get all the necessary updated information about Visa and passport requirements, please check our Visa & Passport section!
Our captains, fluent in English, are committed to making your cruise experience exceptional. In support of local communities, our gulets feature a diverse, multinational crew.
While not all crew members may speak English, they are all attentive, and ready to assist you throughout your journey.
All our gulets can carry up to, approximately 20 to 25 passengers, with an average cabin number of 7. (double/twins – triples)
Keep in mind, that all our vessels have fair space onboard, for literally all the passengers they will, eventually, accommodate!
At the time of your booking/inquiry, remember to specify who your fellow travelers are.
This way, we will try to make all the necessary arrangements to accommodate you, all together, on the same vessel!
Please keep in mind though, that we can not guarantee this, for close-to-date cruises!
Even if we believe, that it is impossible for someone, to wish to “abort” our sailing cruise earlier than its scheduled disembarkation,
You are of course, free to leave, whenever you like!
The only restriction though, is that in order for you to leave earlier, the gulet needs to be docked at a marina/port, and not on some remote cove!
Of course, in case you happen to leave earlier and want us to help you with your transportation, feel free to let us know,
by sending an email, at: travel@sail-ingreece.com or info@sail-ingreece.com
In the unfortunate event, of losing your departure, you have the option to either “catch” us on the next Island/destination,
via commercial ferry, or bus. (if accessible)
In any case, if something like that is to happen, try to inform us prior to the actual departure time, by calling us at our Head Office, at: +30 211 215 2595
As personal privacy, is of paramount importance to us, we cannot provide you with any of your fellow travelers’ details, prior to your actual cruise day.

to head to our Facebook page and introduce yourself to our lovely community!
