Relax aboard your fabulous yacht as you island hop through Greece, stopping at different ports each day.  Visit picturesque towns with their white-washed buildings.  See ancient temples, medieval fortresses, and modern life.

Sail where Greek seafarers did thousands of years ago.  This cradle of democracy is a vibrant place today.  The waterfront bustles, and people have a zest for life.  The sun is warm, and lovely coves beckon for swim stops.

Explore ancient ruins, the remnants of vanished empires, from the Parthenon to the great city of Mycenae, home of King Agamemnon.  A knowledgeable guide accompanies us throughout the trip, as we discover past and present.

Sip ouzo at a taverna overlooking a busy fishing harbor.  Dine on Greek specialties while listening to traditional music.  Soak up the modern culture and the history that surrounds you.
