What Should You Bring?

All line is supplied but you must bring your towels. The norm is ‘casuel’ all the way and you will need a sturdy pair of walking shoes for the ancient temples and agoras you will be exploring. Slacks are great for that occasional disco or taverna in the evenings while a sweater or two and a windbreaker will come in handy. An antique pair of sneakers will do well for rock swimming as you won’t want to mess up your sailing shoes. A sun hat and sunglasses are a must for everyone. Since storage space aboard a yatch is limited, we must ask you to take soft bags only which can be folded and stored after everything has found its place in your cabin.

Food

If your choice is Bareboat, you may want to do your own shopping at the multitude of little fishing villages along the way. If you have selected a Crewed Yacht, however, we will take care of all the necessary details so that mealtimes become delectable feasts of eating, drinking and being merry!
