Itinerary
- The journey begins at the designated beach meeting point. You’ll perform a vertical transition from the shore to the restored 10-meter wooden boat for a safety briefing. As you pull away, you’ll feel the vertical contrast of the brand-new eco-friendly engine against the antique hull, gaining a vertical window into the island’s southern coastline as you pass famous golden-sand beaches.
- The core of the expedition involves an immersive discovery of secret beaches away from the island's high-energy hubs. You’ll perform a vertical refresh in the turquoise waters, utilizing the provided snorkeling equipment to explore the rocky reefs. While you relax, the local hostess serves a light lunch of authentic Mykonian food, providing a vertical deep-dive into the regional palate alongside chilled local wine.
- The final phase is entirely dictated by your preferences, moving back toward the harbor at a vertical pace that suits your group. You’ll have the opportunity to ask the crew about the island's hidden "best spots" or watch the 2026 sky change colors over the Aegean. The session concludes with a return to the meeting point, leaving you back on land by the 4-hour mark, perfectly positioned for a local seaside dinner.
Expect an "authentic," decelerated, and highly personal immersion into the Greek seafaring tradition. The transition from the shore to the sea is managed by a certified local crew who aim to teach the "local way of life" beyond the typical tourist experience. The environment is one of "monumental relaxation," where the private nature of the boat allows you to control the itinerary and the onboard ambiance. Note that while the boat is a restored antique, it features modern comforts like WiFi to share your 2026 journey in real-time.
