Travel Styles - Sailing adventure in Greece, Ionic sea

Best Travel Period 

Southern and western Greece, along with the islands, have a subtropical Mediterranean climate, promising warm and dry summers with plenty of sunshine. The sea breeze makes the heat more comfortable in coastal areas, but if you prefer to avoid extreme temperatures and large crowds, the mild spring and autumn months are ideal.

Our recommendations for the best time to travel to Greece are based on previous years' climate patterns.

Sailing as Gast

What Does It Mean to Be a "Gast" on Board?

A gast is a paying guest on a sailing yacht who joins the adventure without needing prior sailing experience. You don't have to know how to sail, navigate, or handle a boat—you'll learn along the way! Your skipper is in charge of the vessel, ensuring a smooth and safe journey, while you get to enjoy the experience of sailing, exploring, and being part of life at sea.


What to Expect as a Gast:

✔️ No Experience Needed – You don't need a sailing license or any prior knowledge of sailing. Your skipper will handle all navigation, and you can participate as much or as little as you like.

✔️ Hands-On Experience (If You Want) – If you're curious about sailing, you'll have the opportunity to steer the boat, trim the sails, and learn basic navigation under the guidance of your skipper.

✔️ Freedom & Adventure – Every day brings a new destination, whether it's a charming Greek village, a secluded bay, or a lively island town. We don't follow a strict itinerary, allowing flexibility to explore hidden gems.

✔️ Swimming & Diving – The Ionian Sea offers incredible opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and even diving in some of the most stunning waters in the world.

✔️ A Shared Experience – Life on board is about community and teamwork. Everyone helps with small tasks like preparing meals, keeping shared spaces tidy, and enjoying meals together—just like on any adventure!

✔️ Comfortable Accommodations – You'll sleep in a cozy cabin on a spacious yacht, with access to showers, a small kitchenette, and both indoor and outdoor dining areas. If you prefer, you can even sleep under the stars on deck!

✔️ A Break from Everyday Life – Being at sea offers a digital detox from daily stress. Enjoy the simple pleasures of nature, the sound of the waves, and the breathtaking beauty of the Greek islands.
