Υεια δας: Welcome to Greece. What a delight. Your voyage starts on private yachts sailing the crystal clear waters of the Aegean, swimming off their decks and the beaches of these amazing islands. Then on to the Peloponnesus, Acropolis, and Plaka, and an incredible resort on the southern beaches at Kalamata. Finally, a shipboard cruise visiting Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete and beautiful Santorini, where we disembark and spend four days exploring before our final banquet in Athens. Opa!

Private Yachts
These impressive 55' captained yachts accommodate eight students and our staff, and are both comfortable and stable. We sail in flotillas through the Aegean Islands, and each night is spent anchored in port exploring the villages. After morning classes, our days are filled with swimming, remote beaches and sunning on the decks as we sail.

Kalamata
We then travel to Kalamata on the south shore of the Peloponnesus. In Kalamata, we will enjoy the comforts of our luxurious beachfront resort while exploring nearby Olympia and Ancient Sparta.

Cruise
From Kalamata we head back to sea for a four-day cruise. On board we can participate in daily activities and take advantage of the ships amenities, including a pool, a hot tub, and many restaurants and cafes. We will make port calls at Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Rhodes, and Crete, before disembarking in Santorini.

Santorini
Here we will take in the spectacular sunsets, roam the red beaches, and bask in the beauty of this white-walled, blue-roofed, picturesque Island!

Athens
From Santorini we travel to Athens, where we will visit the Acropolis Archaeological Museum, the Agora-Athens central market, the Plaka for shopping, and traditional tavernas for lots of authentic Greek food! We will finish our program with a fabulous final-night banquet and awards ceremony.
