Drinks Menu Onboard

It’s important to work out a budget for your travels – it’s a good idea to have a clear understanding of your main expenses before you leave home, but it’s also vital to know the extra costs you can expect along the way too.

When booking your Sail in Greece cruise, you’ll need to account for extra expenses such as flights and travel insurance for example – and then there will be optional extras and drinks on board the ships. Extra expenses will vary depending on your requirements and therefore it is difficult to specify the exact amount of money that you can spend per day; however as a general rule, we suggest that you budget between €25 – €30 per day (£25 – £30 per day). This amount will adequately provide you with additional meals, drinks and optional’s.

All of our ships offer fully-stocked bars and have a wide range of refreshing cocktails for those hot summer days lazing about on the topdeck. Unless you have specific dietary requirements, you cannot bring food or drink onboard the boat and you will need to purchase drinks from the ship’s bar.

Below is an example of Sail in Greece drinks you can expect on our range of ships & cruises.

Please note: Prices are an estimate only. Each ship will have varying price lists and menu options. Up to date prices and menu items will be available onboard and can be checked with your crew once you join your Sail in Greece cruise.

Sail & Hike Cruises in Greece

The Greek islands are known for many things: beaches, sailing, great food, and water sports. However, did you know there are incredible hiking opportunities in the Aegean islands as well?

If you’re visiting in the springtime or fall, and it’s a bit too chilly for the beaches, try these great trails instead. During the summer, you can also access these trails to get some great sunset views.

The Caldera in Nisyros

One of the most mind-blowing hikes in the Aegean is the caldera hike on the tiny island of Nisyros. Wear good footwear, as the terrain can be a little difficult (and hot). Follow the track to the craters of Stefanos and Polyvotis, and take in this otherwordly volcanic landscape.

 

Explore the Villages of Andros on Foot

The quite large island of Andros has hiking trails connecting most of its charming villages, which can easily be crossed on foot. Explore the island’s valleys and ancient water mills while making your way from one scenic small town to another.

Go Back in History on the Trails of Ithaki

Ithaki, well-known to fans of Greek history and mythology as the Ionian home island of Odysseus, has plenty of hiking trails on its lush landscape. Walk between historic sites related to Trojan War hero Odysseus, and step back in time as you also admire the green landscape and clear turquoise waters below.

Enjoy the Tranquility of Tilos

As a smaller island overlooked by many foreign and Greek tourists, Tilos is the perfect place for travelers seeking some peace and quiet in a great natural setting. The island has dramatic cliff tops jutting out over the sea, and isolated beaches where you can have the beautiful Aegean scenery all to yourself.

Charter one of our Sail in Greece vessels private for your group and our team will design a tailor made itinerary ideal for hiking adventures!

See you on board.

 

 

5 Greek Beaches accessible only by sailboat

In a country full of beautiful, scenic, unspoilt beaches, it’s hard to pick the best, but the part of Greece’s coastline accessible only by sailboat tends to be the most beautiful of all. With a couple of exceptions, these beaches have less tourist crowds and less human pollution thanks to their hard-to-access locations, making them prime spots for swimming and sunbathing.

When you hop around the Greek islands on a boat, these five breathtaking beaches are yours to enjoy!

• Kleftiko Beach, Milos

The turquoise water and stunning white rock formations that dot Kleftiko Beach make it an impressive destination for travelers. Thanks to the fact that Kleftiko is only accessible by boat, the water tends to be cleaner and clearer than on the rest of the popular island of Milos. Lie out on the rocks and soak in the dazzling Mediterranean sun, then jump into the water for one of the best swimming experiences of your life.

• Lalaria Beach, Skiathos

Lalaria is the beach that put Skiathos on the map for many Greek and international tourists alike. The white pebble beach, limestone cliffs, and crystal clear blue waters make this particular spot on the island appear almost surreal in its beauty. Local legends state that swimming through the natural rock arch will give you eternal youth – even though it’s a myth, it doesn’t hurt to try!

• Agiofulli Beach, Lefkada

Lefkada is famous all over Greece for its incredible beaches, as well as its prime spots for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Though it’s hard to pick just one beach from the island, Agiofulli is especially beloved thanks to its inaccessible by car, tranquil location. Pull in on a sailboat and swim to shore, or hop a charter from the main town of Lefkada and take the 45-minute ride to experience Agiofulli Beach yourself.

• Navagio Beach, Zakynthos

One of the most popular destinations in all of Greece, Navagio Beach is truly a unique sight to behold. Almost everyone has seen famous pictures of the beach, which has an old shipwreck on the sand and is surrounded by towering cliff faces. The reason most of these photos of Navagio are taken from above is that the beach itself is only accessible by sailboat. It is definitely worth it to sail out here, take a swim, and explore the beautiful old shipwreck yourself.

• Koufonissi Island, Crete

If you’re looking for more than just a secluded beach, how about a whole uninhabited island accessible only by boat?! Koufonissi Island, right off the coast of Crete, doesn’t even have a regular service from the mainland anymore, meaning that only those who have rented sailboats can go there. Koufonissi doesn’t offer developed beaches with sun beds and cocktail service, but it’s a favorite destination for those looking to get back to nature and simply enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the sea and sand.

5 mejores restaurantes en las islas griegas

Kalita, Mikonos

Mykonos tiene tantos restaurantes de clase mundial que puede ser difícil elegir solo uno para visitar, pero Kalita se ha distinguido lo suficiente entre los amantes de la cocina internacional como para conseguir fácilmente uno de los mejores lugares de la isla. Conocido tanto por sus deliciosos postres como por su menú griego con un toque diferente, Kalita también tiene una larga lista de cócteles increíbles para mantener a los clientes en este restaurante y bar mucho después de que se hayan retirado los platos. Lo mejor de todo es que, dado que Kalita se encuentra en un espacio al aire libre cerrado, puede tomar un pequeño y tranquilo descanso del ajetreo y el bullicio de Chora en Mykonos mientras cena.

Sigi Ikthios (Silencio de los peces), Paros

Escondido en el pintoresco puerto de Naousa, justo al lado del agua, el Sigi Ikthios, de diseño tradicional en blanco y azul, es uno de los mejores restaurantes de Paros. El chef Yiannis Zoumis se especializa en cocina griega, especialmente platos de mariscos increíbles, y siempre usa ingredientes frescos y cultivados orgánicamente en sus platos. Observe una variedad de pequeños barcos de pesca griegos mientras disfruta de algunos de los mejores mariscos que las islas griegas tienen para ofrecer.

Si está buscando un restaurante con una vista impresionante, no busque más, Ampelos Restaurant & Wine Bar en Santorini.

Bratsera se enorgullece de los ingredientes frescos que componen el menú de su cocina griega. Lo mejor de todo es que el restaurante está ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Hydra, pero también está a solo cuatro minutos a pie de la playa.

Deportes acuáticos en las islas griegas

Puede pensar que el verano en las islas griegas se trata de descansar en las playas y tomar cócteles hasta el amanecer, pero los días cálidos junto a la playa pueden ser el momento perfecto para ponerse activo también.

A continuación, cubrimos algunas de las actividades llenas de adrenalina que puede aprender o practicar en las islas que visitamos con Sail in Greece Adventures.

Windsurf

El windsurf es muy popular en Grecia, gracias a las abundantes playas del país y los fuertes vientos isleños. Incluso tenemos un campeón olímpico de nuestras costas: Nikos Kaklamanakis, ganador de la medalla de oro en Atlanta y de plata en Atenas.

Las islas del mar Egeo son perfectas para la práctica del windsurf, gracias a sus condiciones frecuentemente ventosas. Paros, Naxos y Mykonos son particularmente conocidos en toda Grecia por sus lugares para practicar windsurf. Pruebe Mikri Vigla y Laguna en Naxos, Chrysi Akti (Golden Beach) en Paros y las playas Kalafatis y Ornos en Mykonos.

Muchas playas excelentes para practicar windsurf en Grecia tienen escuelas de surf con instructores calificados, así como alquiler de windsurf, por lo que incluso si nunca antes has probado este deporte, ¡puedes comenzar a aprender en algunos de los mejores lugares del mundo!

Surf de vela

El kitesurf se ha vuelto muy popular en los últimos años en Grecia, y a menudo encontrarás kitesurfistas y windsurfistas compitiendo por lugares en las mismas playas. Sin embargo, los windsurfistas avanzados generalmente necesitan vientos más fuertes que los kitesurfistas, por lo que la multitud en el agua cambiará a medida que el viento se fortalezca durante el día.

La playa de Pounda en Paros es un lugar de renombre mundial para los kitesurfistas experimentados. Las playas de Mikri Vigla y Agios Georgios (Saint George) en Naxos también atraen a muchos windsurfistas, mientras que Korfos en Mykonos tiene una gran escuela de kitesurf para que los principiantes aprendan el deporte.

Wakeboard

Para aquellos que prefieren el snowboard al surf, el wakeboard puede ser el deporte acuático para ti. Lo bueno del wakeboard es que no tienes que esperar a las condiciones ideales de viento, solo necesitas un día tranquilo con poco aire.

Muchas de las mismas playas y escuelas que atienden a los kitesurfistas y windsurfistas en días ventosos también están habilitadas para practicar wakeboard cuando el agua está tranquila. Echa un vistazo a Golden Beach y Tsoukalia en Paros, Mikri Vigla y Saint George Beach en Naxos, y las playas de Ftelia y Kalafati en Mykonos.

Scuba Diving

Como se puede imaginar en un país famoso por su increíble verano, ruinas antiguas (a veces bajo el agua) y aguas cristalinas, Grecia cuenta con un buen número de buzos y escuelas PADI en todas sus islas.

Naxos y Mykonos tienen algunos sitios de buceo increíbles. Visite Prasonisia (que tiene una excelente vida marina y antigüedades) y las cavernas de la isla Dragonisi en Mykonos, así como una gran caverna llamada The Dome y un hidroavión alemán derribado en Naxos.

Las posibilidades para un verano activo y lleno de diversión en Grecia son infinitas, y la buena noticia es que ni siquiera tienes que salir del agua para disfrutar de estos deportes.

¡Prueba algo nuevo este verano en las soleadas islas griegas!

¡Únete a nuestros cruceros Sail in Greece y disfruta de Grecia, el mar, la fiesta, las mega goletas y los deportes acuáticos!

4 Best Party Beaches in the Greek Islands

Summer in Greece is pretty much a party no matter where you go. However, there are some Greek island beaches that outdo themselves when it comes to drinks and dancing all night long, and even luckier for you, many of those beaches happen to be on the islands we visit with Sail in Greece Adventures!

Sure, you can just hit the bars and clubs in town if you want, but if you really want to party like a Greek this summer, you have to check out some of these beach bars and clubs! Below are the top 4 party beaches you will find along the way on Sail in Greece’s journey.

Far Out Beach Club, Mylopotas, Ios

Right next to the water and with a beautiful swimming pool in the club itself, Far Out Beach Club practically screams summer. The party here always goes until dawn, and it doesn’t even get going until around midnight, so if you’re going to party here, you better get ready for a long night!

Nammos, Psarou Beach, Mykonos

This party beach is famous to both Greeks and tourists, as it brings some of the best DJs in the world to play tunes all night long. The restaurant and club is located right on the beach, so you can start with dinner and then join the dancers on the sand as the night wears on. Drinks may be a little pricier than on the rest of the island beaches, but the fun atmosphere is worth it!

Pounda Beach Bar, Pounda Beach, Paros

Pounda Beach Bar is meant only for travelers who can handle a good amount of crowds and noise. The party here starts at noon and keeps going throughout the day, as the beach bar operates during sunlight hours as well. Since this club is a tourist favorite, you will meet people from all over the world at Pounda Beach Bar.

 

Cavo Paradiso, Paradise Beach, Mykonos

This club is meant for house music aficionados and intense partiers only. On the crazy party island of Mykonos, Cavo Paradiso is usually the place where people end their night, because the party here keeps going until well after the sun comes up. Cavo Paradiso is a must stop destination for any house DJ worth his salt, which is why names as famous as Tiesto, Laidback Luke, Axwell, Erick Prydz, Benny Benassi, and Alesso, just to name a few, have all played sets here.

 

Join our Mykonos or Harmony Cruises and party hard on the best places in Greece!

Hemera…. our 2nd MEGA gulet just arrived!

Take a trip of a lifetime aboard a Greek Goddess with Sail in Greece this year… sun, sea and a super luxurious yacht, all on a budget! What more can you ask for?

For those of you who know your Greek mythology, you’ll know that Hemera was the ancient Greek primordial goddess (protogenos) of the day. Sail in Greece have just acquired their own piece of heaven in the ‘eye-catching’ form of a 30 metre long motor sailor yacht. They have justly christened her as HEMERA.

Luxury Cruising

Hemera boasts a spacious sun deck – perfect for soaking in the rays, a wide interior lounge room made cosy with cushions galore, a sumptuous dining area and an inviting bar. Once you’ve topped up your tan, move inside to mingle with other group members, play fun games or read a book from their library. With a private bar also at your disposal, these gatherings can often get quite merry as the day goes on…

The English speaking crew are there to meet your needs and ensure you all have a fabulous time. A typical example of one of their Greek captain’s is Bill ( aka “Captain Nemo”), who has spent his whole life sailing in Greece. He’s bound to have many a good story to share! And, for those of you who like to keep connected, there’s no need to feel isolated at sea… HERA offers 3G WiFi on board too.

All aboard…

We’re feeling very impressed by this goddess of a yacht, which operates exclusively on the Sail in Greece YOLO cruises, and is also available for private hire if you’ve a group who’d like a tailor-made cruise in the Greek islands. All Cabins are ensuite with a/c , double, triple and a few quads ( comfort at its finest!) Prices are affordable too and you can be sure this will be money well spent. Whatever you choose, HEMERA will float you directly into the docks of Heaven, offering up an experience of a life-time, as well as a glorious suntan any Greek God would be proud of!
