Jason and the Argonauts sailed all over Greece in their boat, the Argo, looking for a special ram's fleece made of gold, the Golden Fleece. The goddess Athena fitted the Argo's prow with “speaking timber” that advised the Argonauts which direction to steer. Jason and his crew had many adventures at sea, and so will young kids, the Junior Argonauts, on this family cruise in Greek waters island hopping in the southeastern tip of the Peloponnese Peninsula.

  • Reviewer: Francie Johnston located in San Francisco, California USA
    Our tour [on the Cyclades islands] was meticulously planned and executed -- the islands, towns where we stayed, cycling routes, sag support, etc. were terrific.  It was logistically very complicated because we always had to be back at a port at the correct time to catch the ferry to the next island, but we never seemed rushed or anything cut short.   
  • Reviewer: Louise Taylor located in Olympia, Washington USA
    Thank you for another wonderful trip [hiking in Crete], I think the very best.  I will miss the whole group, and of course Greece.

    What a fabulous trip!  3 of the women I train with are excited about the possibility of travelling to cycle Greece together next year with your company.  I'll let you know as we discuss plans more!  Thank-you once again for a fantastic trip.  Your attention to detail was so appreciated.  You just spoiled everyone.  And I appreciated the opportunity to see a side of Greece most people will never experience.

Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight Aegina port
Welcome to Greece! Get ready to embark on the yacht which will be your family's vacation home for the next eight days. You sail to Aegina island, famous for its pistachios. With bikes on board, you can pedal around the harbor or ambitious bikers can climb up to the Temple of Apollo.

Day 2:Overnight Epidavros port
Sail to Epidavros with a pit stop at Agistri island for some swimming and snorkeling in the Aegean Sea. At the mainland we transfer to Ancient Epidavros to tour the 3rd century BC outdoor theatre (seats 15,000) which is still in use due to its impeccable acoustics. Sitting in the last row, you can hear someone whisper from the stage below. Cycle back to port downhill.

Day 3: Overnight Poros port
Morning sailing to Poros island whose two bays supply all the water sports you will need --- water skiing, snorkeling, little boats, sea kayaking, windsurfing. Poros port will charm your heart with its tall clocktower and pastel colored buildings lining the harbor front.


Day 4: Overnight Hydra port
Morning sailing to Hydra island. Hydra is a car-free island whose only transport is mules, foot or boat. It has an elegant artist's colony on the upscale end. While Mom and maybe Dad wander into the art shops, handmade jewelry stores and clothing boutiques, one of the crew takes the kids on a gentle hike inland and upward, ascending to the Profitas Elias monastery.

Day 5: Overnight Spetses port
Morning sailing to Spetses island, home of many wealthy shipbuilders. Spend the day circumnavigating the island by bike, stopping at the beach with an underwater cave you can swim into. Cars are banned in the harbor town, Dapia. Treat the kids to a ride in a horse drawn carriage on the cobble-stoned streets.

Day 6: Overnight Nafplio port
Morning sailing to Nafplio to bike to Mycenae, home of King Agamemnon, with its wondrous circular tombs. He was the ruler who launched the Trojan Wars. Return in time to hike the 999 steps to Palamidi Fortress which offers commanding views of the land and seascapes.

Day 7: Overnight Nafplio port
Nafplio, modern Greece's first capital, is a gorgeous city with children playing in the plazas. In the afternoon you bike along a wide stone and dirt path which hugs the sea taking you to Karathona Beach, suitable for serene swimming.

Day 8:Departure
Vehicle transfer to Athens Airport.
