The Aegean Escape is an 8-day hosted small-group sailing trip through the Greek islands, starting from Athens.
We’ll sail from island to island, swim in turquoise bays, dock in charming harbours and share long dinners by the sea. No sailing experience needed — everything is organised for you.
Small group (5–10 people)
Experienced skipper
Perfect for solo travelers & first-time sailors
Meet at Alimos Marina, settle into your cabin, and enjoy a welcome drink with the group. We’ll spend the night in the marina and head out in the morning.
We'll sail to Kythnos Island to start the week. Here we get to visit one of the most breathtaking beaches in Europe, Kolona Beach
Morning swim, slow sail, and a stop in one of the clearest bays in Greece. Paddle boards, snorkeling, and optional small hike.
Arrive in the charming harbor of Poros. Cafés, shops, sunset viewpoints, and a lively evening atmosphere.
Hydra is the jewel of the Saronic Gulf — no cars, only donkeys and sea breeze. Wander the alleys and enjoy the magical atmosphere.
Depending on weather and group vibe, we explore Spetses or start sailing back, anchoring in a quiet bay for the night.
Final sail back to Alimos. Checkout by 9 am. Hugs, goodbyes, and memories to take home.
Morning coffee, hugs, and departures. Leaving with salt in your hair and a better feel for life under sail.

I’m Axel, a Finnish skipper who lives most of the year at sea.
I run these trips so more people can experience what sailing actually feels like – not on a cruise ship, but on a real sailboat with a small crew.

– Safety-focused
You don’t need any sailing background. Just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to share a boat with strangers who probably won’t stay strangers for long.
