The Cyclades archipelago is comprised of about 220 islands in the Aegean Sea – the most well-known being Mykonos and Santorini. A yacht adventure is the ideal way to experience what many consider to be the world's most beautiful islands. We'll have our own private sailing yacht with an experienced crew. There will be plenty of time for hiking, snorkeling, kayaking and relaxing as we explore ancient archaeological sites and taverna-lined harbors. We'll enjoy breakfast and lunch on the boat daily. Evening meals are a cultural and gastronomical experience on this adventure. We'll dine at a different island each night and enjoy a wonderful selection of fresh seafood and local cuisine. Don't forget to try the ouzo!
- Sail the beautiful Greek Islands from Athens for 14 days on a private 50 foot sailing yacht with an experienced crew and try your hand at sailing, or just relax on deck
- Enjoy authentic Greek food and fresh seafood in waterfront tavernas
- Swim and snorkel in the warm Mediterranean waters off the side of the boat and let the waves rock you to sleep each night
- Star gaze from the deck of our yacht or the shore lined beaches
- Explore the whitewashed villages of Santorini, the most popular island in Greece, if not the world
Is this trip right for you?
- As the majority of this trip takes place on a sailing boat, you'll need to feel comfortable with moving about the vessel, including the use of stairs. With that said, sea legs come naturally to some but not so much for others. You should come prepared in case of the effects of sea sickness.
- This trip takes place in The Cyclades, or the Ionian islands, which are great for more experienced sailors with plenty of islands to keep you happy and weather that will sometimes keep you on your toes. For those looking for a more relaxing sailing holiday without too much excitement, check out our Greek Ruins and Island Hopping trip https://adventurepeople.net/tours/greece-saronic/.
- A zodiac is often used to transport passengers from the boat to the mainland, with landings taking place at piers (dry landings) as well as on beaches (wet landings). Zodiacs can sometimes be awkward to climb in and out of.
- This is an adventure on board a real yacht, which means living spaces, cabins, bathrooms and showers need to be shared with other passengers. Sleeping quarters can be quite compact, but you will be spending the majority of your time above board in the open air.
- Please note that smooth sailing is dependent on the weather, so itinerary changes may occur at the last minute if the weather becomes unfavorable. If any changes are made, you can trust in your knowledgeable skipper to choose an alternative route or activity.
- Due to the size of the yachts, sound carries easily from one side to the other and can wake your fellow travelers. If you do enjoy a late night out, please keep this in mind when returning to the yacht or possibly consider booking a room in town for the night so you don't wake other travelers (and more importantly the skipper) upon your return. It's important to have fun, but also to respect your shipmates who might be sleeping.
- Summer temperatures in Greece can reach up to 40°C (over 100°F, which can be uncomfortable for those not used to the heat. On the other hand, early in the season (April) many businesses may still be closed and the weather is unpredictable, however you may have some of the major sights of the Greek islands almost to yourself. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
- Due to the current financial situation, banking services in Greece could potentially become limited at short notice. This includes credit card processing services and servicing of ATMs. When travelling through Greece, please ensure you have more than one means of payment with you (cash, debit cards, credit cards etc.). You'll also need to have sufficient Euros in cash to cover emergencies, unforeseen circumstances and any unexpected delays.
- In Athens, accommodations on this trip are multi-share. Single travelers will share a room with another traveler of the same sex. If you'd prefer not to share, a single room supplement is available at an additional charge. Also, hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together/ apart.

Today is arrival day so there are no activities planned. You are free to relax or explore the city. Athens is the historical capital of Europe, with a long history, dating from the first settlement in the Neolithic age, 5th Century BC. Our hotel will be located near the Acropolis and is surrounded by small art museums, galleries, jewelry museums, cafes and restaurants.

Athens to Lavrion Marina (B)
This morning, after checking out of the hotel, we'll head to the Lavrion Marina where we will leave our bags in the marina office and spend the afternoon exploring this area. Located on the tip of the Attiki Peninsula, the oldest and biggest ancient amphitheater in the country is located here as well as a mysterious giant hole that would be an attraction to Fortians and seekers of unexplained phenomena if they knew about it.
The afternoon is free to do whatever you choose before boarding our yacht at 5:00pm. Upon boarding, we'll be greeted by our crew who will be with us for the next fourteen days. After unpacking our belongings, we'll receive a safety briefing in the cockpit followed by a relaxed welcome dinner (not included) at one of the many nearby tavernas, giving you an opportunity to get to know our crew a bit better.

Lavrion to Syros (B, L)
This morning, we'll depart the marina very early since we have a long day of sailing ahead of us. The journey through the marvelous islands of the Cyclades is illuminated by the blue and white colors of the Aegean. According to ancient myth, it is Poseidon, God of the sea, who created the island complex that is now one of the most famous worldwide. The Cycladic islands charm and challenge all sea lovers. It is within their crystal-clear waters that senses awake to allow travelers to grasp the essence of the islands' splendor.
We'll arrive in the afternoon to the island of Syros, the island where Greek tradition and western influence come to a harmonious marriage. After stepping off the yacht, a visit to both the Catholic and Orthodox cathedrals on their respective hills offers a great view back down to the harbor. The great number of beautiful beaches will delight the sea and sand lovers.
Syros is well-known for its gastronomic peculiarities. Halva pie (a pie made of thyme honey and roasted almonds), loukoumi (a delight made of water, starch and sugar), "loosa" ham, fennel sausages, and the San Mihalis spicy cheese will no doubt satisfy even the most demanding taste buds. In the evening, we'll enjoy dinner at one of the beautiful garden tavernas.

Syros to Mykonos (B, L)
After breakfast, we'll motor along the coastline and then set sail to Greece's most famous cosmopolitan island, a whitewashed paradise in the heart of the Cyclades. According to mythology, Mykonos was formed from the petrified bodies of giants killed by Hercules. It gets its name from the grandson of Apollo, "Mykonos."
Stroll around its narrow marble streets and admire whitewashed houses with colorful doors and window frames, bougainvillea trees in purple bloom and hidden churches. Soak up the atmosphere along the lively waterfront and admire a fleet of fishing boats casting colorful reflections in the azure waters. One of the most scenic corners of the island is Alefkantra or "Little Venice," an 18th century district, dominated by grand captains' mansions with colorful balconies and stylish windows.
While you're out strolling, don't be surprised if you come across the official mascot of Mykonos, which is nothing other than a… pelican! Petros the Pelican was found by a fisherman after a storm in 1954, and eventually became the locals' companion. When he died, the grief for his loss was so deep that a replacement was soon found. In honor of Petros, the locals have established a long tradition of pelicans wandering around the waterfront as an essential part of everyday life. So, whatever you do, don't forget to take a picture with the successor of the famous pelican Petros!
In the evening, we'll enjoy a group dinner (not included) at one of the rooftop garden tavernas. Enjoy some local Aegean specialties such as Pepper flavored kopanisti, a soft cheese seasoned with pepper. It is the island's gastronomic trademark. Try it as a topping on a round rusk spread with grated tomato, a favorite local appetizer. Meat eaters can sample "louzes" (cooked pork filet with spices) and tasty local sausages sprinkled with pepper, and local oregano that has been caressed by the sun and dried in the north wind. To finish off your meal you can sample two exceptionally good local pastries, "amigdalota" (small round cakes with ground almond, rosewater and caster sugar) and honey pie.
If you're up for it, be sure take advantage of Mykonos' world renowned party scene.

Mykonos (B, L)
Today, enjoy a full day at your leisure in Mykonos, and perhaps try your hand at one of the islands numerous water sports. It is only natural that the "Island of Winds" should attract surfers and sailors from all over the world! There is a great choice of beaches for windsurfing; however, the most secluded ones are considered to be the best. Choose from Korfos, Ftelia, Meyali Ammos and Kalafatis, where surfing lessons are also available. Play beach volleyball at Ayia Anna or try sea parachuting or jet skiing at Elia or Kalafatis.
Diving fans can do a little exciting exploration of the underwater magic of Mykonos. On the island, you can find many well-organized diving centers. Explore the island on a cacique or a boat and discover secluded beaches, or take a boat tour around the nearby islets, which are also ideal fishing spots!

Overnight on the boat at Mykonos Island
Mykonos to Paros (B, L)
Unrivalled natural beauty, beaches with crystal clear waters, unrivalled Byzantine footpaths connecting traditional villages and breathtaking landscapes make up the island of Paros, located in the heart of the Cyclades. Parikia, the capital of Paros, is a beautiful Cycladic village with whitewashed cubic houses and impressive neoclassical mansions. A well preserved 13th century Venetian castle stands proudly on a hill at the center of the village offering an amazing view of Parikia. Here, you'll also find the 6th century church of Panayia Ekatontapyliani, also called Katapoliani. The name "Ekatontapyliani" means the church with 100 gates, one of which is a secret one!
Sun-drenched beaches, like Chirssi Akti, Santa Maria and Pounda, welcome sun-loving visitors who want to enjoy the crystal-clear sea, the sun or even their favorite water sports. You may also choose to discover the island's stunning beauty by hiking along the "strates," the trails created by farmers to help them cross the island and transport their goods. It's like stepping back into history! Alternatively, you can discover the island on horseback. There are two horse-riding centers, one by the sea at Ambelas, and one at Ysterni. Ride around the coast, along the sandy beaches or take a detour inland – a great way for you to discover some of the most beautiful spots on the island.
–Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (on the boat)
Distance from Mykonos to Paros: 25 NM – 5 hours
Overnight on the boat at Paros
Paros to Koufonisi (B, L)
Koufonisia is a small group of two islands, Pano Koufonisi (Upper Koufonisi) and Kato Koufonisi (Lower Koufonisi), that are separated by a narrow strait. They were named Koufonisia (meaning Hollow islands) because of the existing huge caves which gave the impression to pirates who viewed them from a distance that the islands were hollow.
Upon arrival, we'll motor around the island and admire the sea caves as well as the nearby islets Glaronisi, Prasoura, Voulgari, Tsouloufi, Lazaros and Megali Plaka; all of them have been designated as areas of great natural beauty.
After docking, we'll see the white windmill which stands at the harbor entrance as if welcoming visitors. Chora is further up, a typical Cyclades village with white-washed houses and picturesque alleys. In the center, you'll see Agios Georgios church, the island's patron saint.
Koufonisia is the perfect place to relax on one of the golden sand beaches, swim in one of the small natural pools of turquoise waters, or rent a bicycle and tour the island following the shoreline. Visit the inland area and hike along the paths from Chora to Pano Meria.
For dinner, we'll feast at one of the local tavernas, the original 'island way,' and enjoy seafood fresh from the sea.
–Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (on the boat)
Distance from Paros to Koufonisi: 27 NM – 6 hours

Koufonisi to Santorini (B, L)
Today will be another full day of sailing as we make our way to Santorini! Santorini is the most popular island in Greece, if not the world. In fact, it's actually a group of islands consisting of Thira, Thirassia, Aspronissi, Palea and Nea Kameni. It is frequently included among the best destinations in the world. There are few travel destinations that combine beautiful beaches, spectacular scenery, ancient cities, amazing restaurants, some of the world's best wine, and an active volcano. The entire complex of Santorini islands is still an active volcano and probably the only volcano in the world whose crater is in the sea. The last big eruption occurred 3,600 years ago and what remains today is a submerged volcano and a caldera.
Amazing villages have been constructed on the edge of this caldera, with Cycladic architecture and breathtaking views and sunsets. Fira is the picturesque capital of the island; perched high up on the edge of the Caldera, it looks like a marvelous painting. Fira, together with Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani, located high above on a cliff, make up the so-called "Caldera's eyebrow," the balcony of Santorini, which offers an amazing view of the volcano. Some of the villages are cosmopolitan and some more peaceful, surrounded by vast vineyards, whitewashed cliff-top towns with castles affording amazing views out over the Aegean.
A visit to Santorini is the ultimate gastronomic experience, as the island is a true culinary paradise! Treat your taste buds to some famous traditional products like cherry tomatoes, white egg plants, fava, caper and "hloro tyri," a special kind of fresh goat cheese found on the island, or why not try some of the exceptional wines produced from grapes grown in the volcanic soil.
–Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (on the boat)

Overnight on the boat at Santorini
Santorini (B, L)
Today is free to explore the island at your leisure. Whether you choose to participate in water sports or trekking activities, visit museums, shop, or simply relax on the beach, the possibilities are endless!
Santorini is especially known for its natural beauty and is ideal for nature lovers. It offers a lot of amazing paths to do some trekking to view wild, volcanic landscapes to picturesque villages and lovely churches in the countryside. Trekking is a great way to get to know the island in a more special way. There are numerous routes that vary in length and difficulty for anyone to enjoy.
Venture into Santorini's seaside treasures and enjoy deep blue waters and beaches with white, red or black sand or volcanic pebbles, spectacular rock formations and impressive lunar landscapes.
Take a full-day or half-day kayaking tour, get a birds-eye view of the island by taking a parasailing excursion, explore the island on an ATV, take off on a jet ski, or try a water skiing lesson. Most beaches in Santorini have a water sports center with loads of fun activities to choose from.

Santorini to Ios (B, L)
Ios or Nios, as the locals call it, is one of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades, like a flower, as its name "Ion" denotes. According to the ancient tradition, Ios was the homeland of Homer's mother and the final resting place of the great epic poet.
Upon reaching the island, the village of Hora is enchanting and as pretty-as-a-picture. The snow-white little houses, picturesque arcade-covered alleys, the twelve windmills, churches with arched belfries and light blue domes create a unique residential area. Out of the 365 churches on the island, the most important is Panayia Gremiotissa, standing on Hora's highest spot. It is built literally on the edge of a cliff, affording an amazing view of the open sea.
A feast of local tastes awaits lucky visitors: chickpea balls, sun-dried picarel, tsimetia (stuffed vegetable marrow flowers), vegetable marrow omelette, dolmadakia using fresh vine leaves from the numerous vineyards where the famed niotiko wine is produced, and goat soup are just a few of the menu items we might find at dinner this evening.
Don't leave without getting some of the local cheeses like skotiri (soft goat cheese with herbs), local kefalotyri (hard salty yellow cheese) and mizithra (soft white creamy, almost sweet cheese) as well as some of the excellent thyme honey, pastelia (honeyed sesame bars), watermelon confiture, mizithra pie and pomegranate liqueur.
–Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (on the boat)
Distance from Santorini to Ios: 30 NM – 5 hours
Overnight on the boat at Ios
Ios to Sifnos (B, L)
Sifnos, the island of flavors, is the birthplace of several famous poets, such as Ioannis Gryparis, Kleanthis Triantafyllou (or Rampagas) and Aristomenis Provelegios; as well as award-winning chefs like Tselementes. Unique traditional villages, organized and secluded beaches, and 227 churches spread around the island are waiting to be discovered.
Apollonia, the capital town of Sifnos, is built in the shape of an amphitheater over three hills in the center of the island. During your evening walk, be sure to pay a visit to the Folklore Museum at the Hiroon Square (meaning "Square of the Heroes").
A few kilometers away from the town lies the traditional settlement of Artemonas, famous for its neoclassic mansions and its outstanding panoramic view of the island. Some of the most famous restaurants and patisseries of Sifnos will welcome you here with fresh homemade cookies and hot doughnuts.
The historic settlement of Kastro (meaning "castle"), inhabited since ancient times, is built over the ruins of ancient Sifnos, on an abrupt rock with a breathtaking view of the sea. A beautiful outdoor museum and one of the most picturesque villages on the island, Kastro stands out for its old houses with the wooden balconies, the ancient columns and the narrow courtyards.
Whether cosmopolitan or secluded, all the beaches in Sífnos offer sun-loving tourists azure waters and sun-drenched sandy beaches. Kamáres, the port of the island, is a sandy beach with trees and beach bars; Platís Yialós is the most cosmopolitan and buzzing beach on the island, whereas next to it lies Vathí, a sandy beach with shallow waters and many tavernas where you can enjoy fresh fish. The rocks in Chrisopigí, where also the homonymous Monastery proudly stands, are ideal for diving. If you'd like to rest under a cool shade, head to the next beach which is surrounded by salt water loving trees. If you find yourself in Kástro, follow down the path to "Eptá Mártyres", and enjoy a leisurely swim or unwind with a book lazing on a sun lounger.
Sifnos is the center of pottery in the Cyclades since the first samples were found here are dated back to the Early Cycladic period. The island's clay soil in combination with the continuous sunshine resulted in the development of the art of pottery on the island. Throughout the island there are many pottery workshops where you can buy ceramics for domestic use, utensils and decorative items.
In every small taverna or classy restaurant, you can sample some of Sifnos' exceptional dishes cooked by chefs who know how to tempt our taste buds. When the night falls, set out to discover fancy lounge bars and the hottest nightclubs on the island and dance the night away!

Sifnos to Serifos (B, L)
Serifos Island, with its rugged mining sites, ladened with history, has its own distinct Cycladic flair. The island exudes a calm atmosphere and speaks directly to our senses. The locals have respected the Cycladic architectural tradition by building white and blue houses making the islands towns and villages all the more powerful. There is much to do here including hiking, climbing, mountain biking and diving!
Beach-goers will have plenty of beaches to choose from while visiting Serifos Island; rocky, pebbly, or sandy beaches accompanied by crystal blue waters will satisfy all tastes. Beaches are reached either by car, walking trails or by sea.
Serifos' cuisine bursts with aromas and flavors! Try delicious meat products such as louzes, syglina (traditional cured pork) and sausages, as well as the islands rich aromatic spices.

Serifos to Kythnos (B, L)
Kythnos, also called "Thermia" on the account of its thermal springs, is in the Western Cyclades. It is a surprising island of beautiful beaches, traditional villages, and folding hills punctuated by stone huts and ancient walls. An agricultural island mostly, life is still simple. We'll arrive at the rustic fishing village of Merihas. The harbor is a safe and quaint place with an open-air fish market, restaurants strung along a sandy beach, an internet cafe and ice cream parlor. To cool off, we'll have a swim at the tiny little beach just 5-minutes' walk from the yacht.
The most impressive of the 65 sandy beaches is the island of Kolona, where a lane of sand connects the islet of Ayios Loukas to Kythnos. Low stone fences run for many kilometers on bare Cycladic hills with 350 white country chapels here and there. The typical Cycladic style equally appears in the villages with its cobbled narrow streets, white houses, squares, chapel and windmills. Follow the paths that connect the villages to each other and taste apricots and wild mulberries on the way to Katafyki cave, one of the biggest caves in Greece with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites.

On the northeastern coast of the island, the village of Loutra is famous for its thermal hot springs, which boast healing powers, as well as a rather special archaeologic interest on the island called Maroulas. It is the home to one of the oldest prehistoric Mesolithic archaeological settlements in all of the Cyclades, dating between 9000-8000 BC. The excavations, which ended in 2005, unearthed 30 round spaces that used to be hut floors. 15 tombs, one of which contained a human skeleton and tools made of pyrite, obsidian, and quartz, were found below their stone layers.
After a visit to the archaeological site, why not visit the thermal spa center (optional) and relax in the swimming pool, try a hammam (Turkish bath) or sauna, or get a hydro massage? This modern spa is located on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Today is departure day and there are no planned activities as we say goodbye to our new friends and head home or to your next destination.
–Meals: Breakfast
This is a sailing trip and you must be comfortable with moving about the boat. Yachts are designed to maximize living area space, so sleeping quarters can be a bit cramped. For solo travelers, there is no single supplement on-board the yacht. You will be paired with a same sex roommate.
Please be aware that this is a sailboat and not a cruise vessel and space on board is tight. You will be sharing a small room with one of your fellow travelers or your travel partner and possibly sharing a bathroom onboard. Some people are not comfortable with the type of close quarter arrangements typically found on sailboats, however if a real sailing experience on a real sailboat is what you are after, then this experience should more than make up for cramped quarters.
You will be spending most of your time above board in the open air (and you may choose to sleep out there as well) and with time on the water comes time in the sun. Remember to pack sun protection, such as sun screen and a hat. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water and keep hydrated.
That said, the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip more than makes up for any discomfort. Although the waters are usually calm, it can get rough and choppy, which requires steady sea legs and a sturdy stomach. Please note that smooth sailing is dependent on the weather, so itinerary changes may occur at the last minute if weather becomes unfavorable. If any changes are made, you can rest assured that your experienced skipper will choose the best alternate route or activity.
Due to the size of the yachts, sound carries easily from one side to the other and can wake your fellow travelers. If you do enjoy a late night out, please keep this in mind when returning to the yacht or possibly consider booking a room in town for the night so you don't wake other travelers (and more importantly the skipper) upon your return. It's important to have fun, but also to respect your shipmates who might be sleeping.
Two healthy meals are provided aboard the yacht each day. Breakfast is usually self-service and is generally light continental, rather than an American style hot breakfast and may include: fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, toast, boiled eggs, tea, coffee and juice.
Lunch is usually served in the shaded cockpit anchored in secluded bays and consists of: fresh bread, crackers, spreads and dips (including tzatziki, taramou salata, melanzani salata), various salads: Greek, tuna, egg, coleslaw, potato, rice or pasta, an assortment of cheeses and/or cold cuts as well as olives, capers and bell peppers.
Beverages such as soft drinks, iced tea and water are included and stowed on board. You are advised to bring aboard your own specialty and snack foods, alcohol, mixer drinks and ice.
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However, it is subject to change, and does not form a contract between parties. While it is our intention to adhere to the route described, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. Occasionally our itineraries change due to weather or other circumstances that are beyond our control. Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary.
August is the hottest month in Athens with an average temperature of 84 F (29 C) and the coldest is January at 50 F (10 C). The most daily sunshine hours is 12 in July. The wettest month is December with an average of 3.85 inches of rain. The best month to swim in the sea is in August when the average sea temperature is 77 F (25 C).
Low Season (Nov-Mar)
Many hotels, sights and restaurants shut down, especially on islands. Accommodation costs up to 50% less than in high season. Ferry schedules are skeletal. Temperatures drop; Athens and Crete can see snow. Average temperatures range from 45 F (7 C) to 65 F (18 C).
Shoulder Season (April, Sept & Oct)
Accommodation prices can drop by 20%. Temperatures are milder. Internal flights and ferries have reduced schedules. Fewer crowds. Average temperatures range from 54 F (12 C) to 75 F (24 C).
High Season (Easter & May-Aug)
Everything is in full swing and transport is plentiful. Accommodation sometimes cost September is a shoulder season in Greece. Temperatures are typically in the 80's in Athens and the climate is very dry — think Arizona. Most rain falls between November and February, while rainfall in September is very rare. The weather on the islands is about 10-15 degrees cooler than Athens, and after watching the beautiful sunset, it can get chilly at night (average 63-67 degrees), so bringing a light jacket or sweater and a windbreaker is advised.
For more information, please visit http://www.holiday-weather.com/athens/averages/.
The Cyclades lie to the southeast of Athens and the Greek mainland and to the east/ southeast of Poros. Unlike the Saronic Gulf, the Cyclades islands are not protected by any mainland. Their position out into the Aegean Sea means they are more exposed to the northerly 'Meltemi' wind which very much dominates the Cyclades islands from late July to September. These wind conditions mean sailing the Cyclades islands provides for more invigorating sailing, but might also prove 'too exciting' for those looking for something more relaxing.
There is limited space on the yachts. Our advice is to pack as light as possible as you are expected to carry your own luggage. We recommend the use of a duffel bag, soft bag or backpack (whichever you find easiest to carry). Smaller bags with wheels are convenient if your bag has carry straps. Large suitcases or heavy luggage are not recommended. You will also need a day-pack for carrying water, a camera, and other electronics, and extra clothing for day trips exploring the areas we will be visiting. Luggage locks are also recommended.

– First-aid kit (should contain Aspirin, Ibuprofen (for anti-inflamation), Band-Aids, anti-histamines, motion sickness remedy, imodium or similar tablets for mild cases of diarrhea, and re-hydration powder)
– Personal prescription drugs , contact lenses, glasses
Laundry facilities can be found in some harbors. Ask your skipper for the best places. There will be times when you may want to or have to do your own laundry, so we also suggest you bring a biodegradable laundry soap.
All countries require a valid passport (valid for a minimum of 6 months after the date of departure). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements. It's your responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Please visit https://adventurepeople.net/passport-visas/ for links to helpful websites.
It is your responsibility to consult with your physician or a travel clinic for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure to find out what vaccinations might be required or recommended for Greece. Also, keep in mind that some heat waves are possible from June to October all over the country. People who are sensitive to seasickness should come prepared.
We recommend that you carry a First-Aid kit and hand sanitizers/ antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons, our guides/skippers are prohibited from administering any type of drug.
Please visit https://adventurepeople.net/travel-resources/ for links to helpful websites.
Travel insurance is mandatory to participate on any of our trips. You will not be permitted to join a trip until evidence of travel insurance has been presented. The minimum requirement must provide coverage of $200,000USD for medical expenses including repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some credit card companies offer travel insurance, but proof of coverage will be required. Contact your provider for details.
In Greece, the only currency accepted is the Euro. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, we ask that you refer to the following website for the most up to date daily exchange rates, www.oanda.com or www.xe.com.
The most convenient and cheapest way to acquire money is via an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), or Bancomat as they are often referred to. Check with your bank in advance concerning the suitability of your account/ card overseas and any international fees that will be applied.
You can obtain local currencies easily at airports and major train stations, as well as banks and money exchange "kiosko" in all cities, but be sure to bring some extra emergency cash that can be exchanged if the ATM's are not functioning.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money, a combination of cash and cards is best. Credit cards are not always accepted in stores and restaurants. Change can be difficult to obtain, so try to gain as many small denominations as you can. We do not recommend bringing travelers cheques as they are very difficult to change.
Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denomination lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
When it comes to spending money on a trip, every traveler is a little different. You know your spending habits better than we do, so please budget a sensible amount for things like meals not included, drinks, shopping, optional activities and laundry. It's always better to bring more than you think you'll need as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds. Also, make sure you've read the trip details thoroughly so you know what's included in the trip price and what isn't. This should make budgeting a little easier.
If you're happy with the services provided, a tip – though not compulsory – is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it's of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. The following amounts are based on local considerations. You are always free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip.
Hotels: It is customary to tip the porter/ bellboy around 1 Euro per bag. For your housekeeper, leave around 1 Euro per day on the bedside table before you check out. You can also leave a few Euros as gratuity for the concierge if you received excellent service.
Restaurants: Local markets and basic restaurants, just leave the loose change. At more upscale restaurants, a suggested gratuity of 5% to 10% of the total bill is suggested.
Taxi's & Drivers: You won't always be expected to tip your taxi driver, but it's up to you. If you do decide to tip your taxi driver, round-up the fare, or leave between 5% and 10%. For a private driver, leave around 20 Euros per day. If they went above and beyond you can always tip more.
Skipper & Crew: Skippers and crew will deliver excellent customer service on your trip, safely sailing and providing meals each day. A suggested gratuity amount per person would be 50-75 Euros ($60-$90) per crew member for 7-nights aboard the yacht.
Tour Guides: For local activity guides, the suggested gratuity is between 2 and 5 Euros for full or half-day tours.
Greece is on Eastern European Time (GMT +2) and is ten hours ahead of PST and 7 hours ahead of EST in the US.
The country calling code is +30. To call Greece from the US, dial 011 30 + area code and phone #. to dial the US from Greece, dial 001 + area code and phone #.
Greece uses type C, D, E, and F outlets and the voltage is 220 volts/ 50Hz. In the US, we use types A and B, 120 volts/ 60Hz. For using your electronics in Greece, you will need a voltage converter in addition to a plug adapter. Many electronics already have a built-in converter, so all you'll need to use is one of the adapter plugs. This covers most modern laptops, cell phone chargers, and many other devices, but be sure to read the information on your device to be sure.
While there should be electricity on board the yacht throughout your trip, the voltage is likely to vary widely, from 12V to 220V, and when in port or moored we are dependent on the supply available. Please be aware that the supply may not be sufficient to power some electronic devices all the time and that you may need a voltage adapter or similar (such as portable inverter used in cars). It may be possible to charge devices ashore at restaurants or resorts, however this is not guaranteed.
Our trips bring together people of all ages. It is important that you are aware that, as a minimum, an average level of fitness and mobility is required to undertake any of our trips. Travelers must be able to walk without the aid of another person, climb 3-4 flights of stairs, step on and off small boats, and carry their own luggage. You must inform us at the time of booking if anyone in your party has a disability, medical or behavioral condition which could affect their participation in the trip or other people on the trip.
Travelers with pre-existing medical conditions are required to complete a short medical questionnaire, which must be signed by their physician. This is to ensure that travelers have the necessary fitness and mobility to comfortably complete their chosen adventure. While your group leader and guides work hard to make sure that all our travelers are catered for equally, it is not their responsibility to help individuals who cannot complete the day's activities unaided.
We recommend that you check your government's advice for the latest travel information before departure. We also strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while traveling, for safe keeping of your passport, credit cards, cash, and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelry at home – you won't need it while traveling. In addition, a lock is recommended for securing your luggage. Only carry with you the money and documentation that you need for the day and always keep an eye on your belongings.
Since you'll have a lot of free time on the islands, please note that any optional activities you undertake that are not part of the itinerary, are at your own risk. We offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. While most of the cities we will visit are generally safe, there can be risks when wandering through a major city at night and it is our recommendation that you stay in small groups and take taxis to and from restaurants or other night time excursions. We also advise staying away from any protests and demonstrations. Even those that are well intended have the potential to turn violent with no warning.
Adventure activities and water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in activities when accompanied by guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any of our planned activities, have a balanced approach to safety. Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy and therefore prohibited. The group organizer has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Here are some technical terms for you to learn before your trip to help you orient yourself with the world of yachting:

Fashion Friday – Don't Burn Your Paycheck On A Suit
Forget the articles and photos in magazines demanding that you own a multi-thousand dollar suit. That's crap.
The average working man's salary doesn't afford them the luxury of maintaining a multi-tens of thousands of dollars sartorial lifestyle. That said, there's nothing saying it's not possible to own a suit that fits your budget and makes you look like you walked off the third page of GQ magazine. Just make sure you budget a little cash into having it tailored because without a tailor you'll just end up looking like that Lexington Avenue poseur.
Our recommendation: Leave the stripes to your shirts and let your first suit rock our in it's single color understated glory. Oh, and make sure you let a little cuff show.

München in Indien Trailer (2013)
03 January 2013
MUNICH IN INDIA tells about the German painter Fritz-Munich. As the Nazis seized power in Germany he was traveling through colonial India between 1932 and 1937, and became the only German court painter of the Maharajas. Konstantin Fritz, the artist's grandson, searches for clues of his grandfather's paintings and of his fairytale adventures. Accompanied by Fritz-Munich's unique historical 16mm film shoots and diaries, the grandson follows the former travels of his grandfather through India today. MUNICH IN INDIA is the story of an unknown but nevertheless extraordinary artist. It tells about his adventures, about German and Indian history and simultaneously gets an insight into contemporary India.
Watch the official München in Indien 2013 trailer in HD below or find more München in Indien videos on Vidimovie.

Is there a speed-reader in the House? How about the
Lawmakers will need at least one if they want to know exactly what's in the Medicare prescription drug bill that they could vote on as early as Nov. 21.
The bill arrived just one day before and it's not light reading: It's 681 pages long, three inches thick and weighs nearly seven pounds. And the proposal's language isn't that of a novel or a high-school textbook. Page 149, for example, goes like this: "The gross per capita Medicaid expenditures for prescription drugs for 2003 under this subparagraph is equal to the expenditures, including dispensing fees, for the State under this title during 2003 for covered outpatient drugs, determined per full-benefit-dual-eligible-individual for such individuals not receiving medical assistance for such drugs through a Medicaid managed plan."
That's one of the more lyrical passages. Another section on Page 45 reads: "(II) Increase in federal percentage assumed in second risk corridor. And equal percentage point increase in the percents applied under subparagraphs (B)(ii)(II) and (C)(ii)(II) of section 1860D-15(e)(2)."
The Medicare prescription drug bill is one that will affect not only today's seniors, but baby boomers and members of Generations "X" and "Y". Lawmakers should know what their votes mean to their constituents, their country-or at least themselves.
Try reading the bill yourself (in one day) at: http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/hr1/hr1-conflegtext.pdf.

Toyota of Puyallup
Review for Toyota of Puyallup
TIM P. on 02/27/2015
"Toyota is great"
Went in for my 20K service, was promptly greeted and my Rav was taken care of. The only thing I don't like is when I was asked if I wanted it washed and vacuumed, I requested yes. It didn't looked vacuumed and the car wash didn't do a good job. Still quite a bit of road dirt in different areas. Would like to have seen a better job.

And now we've had the pleasure of selling a number of Sexual Chocolate posters to the one and only Questlove of The Roots! As with John Landis, our respect for his work inspired us to throw in a small portrait...this is said portrait. Our most popular design to date, Sexual Chocolate posters are now in the hands (and hopefully on the walls) of John Landis, Eddie Murphy, Nile Rodger, and now Questlove. Not that everyone else who owns one is not special but DAMN that's exciting!!
There are more available here.

I'm with you, not SURE what a flare is, but I'm newly dxg'd, but my digestion just has gone downhill and downhill and then a reaction to flagyl and now I eat blandly and I still get pains 2 to 5 on the scale and I have to curl up or anxiety, or feelings of having to go to the bathroom and diarrhea, anti-diarrhea pills help me a bit with cramping and going, and I have nausea on and off. Nights and mornings seem to be the worst.
But I am slowly feeling better than I was two weeks ago. I still don't know what I can or cannot eat and have fears of going into the agony of curling up on a ball on the couch all night and shaking. I'm trying heated pads on my stomach. It feels weird that I'll have to watch every bite in my mouth forever and take it easy all the time, I'm so new to it all.
BTW is the Wellbutrin helping for the anxiety. During this big flare up that happened, I got anxiety/depression and I was fine before that so I asked for Wellbutrin (which has helped with thyroid stuff in the past). But this time, it's making me zombie spacing, sort of low on emotions, and insomnia so I don't think I can take it.
hang in there! Find new doctors if you're not getting answers. My aunt had Crohn's real bad and she goes through stuff, but has been pretty good for the most part the past few years, there is hope. I felt hopeless w/my thyroid back in the day and struggled for years, and wished I had my years back, but then it got better and to the point I forgot (and forget now) that I have thyroid problems. Yes, it comes up again and I stick it in the bud to stop it from going south before it happens as best I can.

Europe's Long Vacations
August 8, 2002
American workers are workaholics compared to their European counterparts. Twenty years ago, Europeans worked just as long and hard as the rest of the developed world. Over the years however, they steadily cut back on workweeks, while lengthening vacations -- and the trend has only accelerated in recent years.
- Vacation time has nearly doubled since the 1970s in Italy, Spain and the Netherlands -- and around six weeks off is now the annual norm across Europe.
- This year, France extended its three-year-old law reducing the workweek to 35 hours from 39, and the far-reaching measure now includes companies with fewer than 20 employees.
- While Americans work about 1,800 hours a year, the typical German worker puts in around 1,400.
- Consequently, European economic growth in the first half of this year will probably only hit 1 percent -- compared to 3 percent in the U.S.
U.S. growth per capita, a common measure of standard of living, grew at twice the rate of Europe's largest economies in the 1990s.

Latest Marine News
Surfing up a storm in the Bay
Last Monday he watched a pod of Orcas cruise by.
Then today Papamoa fisherman John Howlett encountered a four to five metre beaked whale – possibly a Gray's beaked whale.
"From my description DOC said it was a beaked whale of some sort. A beautiful animal."
But its's very unusual for them to be so close to the shore. They normally feed on squid and pelagic fish out in the deep water.
"But this one appeared to be stuck between the sandbar and the shore because there was an outgoing tide" says John. Every time it tried to get over the bar it was beaten back by the waves.
John was fishing on the beach when he spotted what he initially believed to be a swimmer. "I thought they were mad being out in the water on such a cold day."
But then he saw the tail threshing around. "It's just wonderful to see these things. An elongated dolphin really, the same sort of snout." He hopes DOC will make a positive identification when he send them pictures.

French bank Societe Generale said on Tuesday it aimed to double its profits over two years, insisting it had moved on since losing billions of euros in a rogue trade scandal in 2008.
Societe Generale said it aimed to double net profits by 2012 to six billion euros (7.3 billion dollars) from a target of three billion this year and to grow its revenues four percent annually.
The announcement came during the second week of the trial of the bank's former trader Jerome Kerviel, accused of gambling away 4.9 billion euros (7.1 billion dollars at the time) and forcing it to unwind 50 billion euros in risky deals.
The scandal shook the bank months before the fall of US investment giant Lehman Brothers in September 2008, which sparked a global financial crisis and widespread recession.
The trial has seen bitter wrangling between Kerviel and his former employers who accuse him of hiding his risky bets, while he insists his bosses knew what he was doing and turned a blind eye as long as he was making a profit.
"For me, it's in the past," said the group's chief executive Frederic Oudea, who was financial director at the time of the scandal.
"It was two and a half years ago. A lot has happened since then," he told a news conference.
"Societe Generale responded immediately" to the discovery of the risky trades, Oudea added. "There was a need to reinforce controls and we did so."
In Friday's earnings statement, Oudea said that "the results delivered in the first quarter are a first tangible proof of our ability to rebound."
Last month it posted a net profit of 1.06 billion euros for the first quarter of the year, compared to a loss of 278 million euros in the first three months of 2009. Analysts have forecast profits of 3.1 billion euros in 2010.
Societe Generale on Friday announced a new strategy focusing on its French networks, international retail banking and corporate and investment banking.
It said that losses on hard-to-sell toxic assets in its portfolio would not exceed 700 million to one billion euros this year, in line with previous expectations. Such assets are to be reduced by 60 percent by 2015.
"The last few years have been challenging for the group, its shareholders and employees but we have learnt from the crisis," Oudea said in an earnings statement, adding that "2010 represents a new period for Societe Generale."
The bank said on Monday it was buying regional bank Societe Marseillaise de Credit (SMC) in southern France for 872 million euros from banking group BPCE, prompting its own shares to jump.
On Tuesday morning Societe Generale's stock price crept up 0.14 percent to 25.09 euros.

Rahul Dravid backs Pujara to come good in ODIs.Mumbai : Rahul Dravid today backed Cheteshwar Pujara, who replaced him at number three in Indian Test team batting order, to come good in the ODIs like he did in hiscareer."Speaking from my own personal
India TV News Desk March 15, 2014 19:27 IST
Mumbai : Rahul Dravid today backed Cheteshwar Pujara, who replaced him at number three in Indian Test team batting order, to come good in the ODIs like he did in hiscareer.
"Speaking from my own personal experience and as someone who was being seen (basically) as a Test player, Pujara can certainly make a mark in one-day cricket. I was able to develop and build my game for one-day cricket, (which) I played successfully for quite a long time. I have no doubt that Pujara has the ability and the skill to do that," said Dravid at a promotional event.
Dravid was referring to his early struggles with the limited overs format and then his evolution as a batsman-keeper that helped him cement a place in the ODI team.
"I don't see any reason he (Pujara) cannot succeed in one-day cricket with the way he bats in Test matches, the way he rotates the strike, the kind of shots he plays all round the wicket and he scores runs at a pretty decent rate in Test
cricket. I don't have a doubt he will do well in one day cricket," said Dravid.
The 41-year-old retired batting stalwart said though Pujara has not been able to force his way into the playing eleven after being inducted into
the Asia Cup squad, he will get his chances in the near future.
"I am happy to see he has got into the Indian one-day squad. At the moment and obviously with the number of young
players in Indian team he is not able to get enough playing time. Hopefully, that will come. There are tours of England and Australia coming up and someone like him will get a little more playing time to prove himself and do well.
"Obviously, he is fighting in a crammed middle order at the moment. That is the challenge for him. Just hopefully he can get opportunities as and when possible and make the best of them. And if he does then I feel he has a role for India," said Dravid.


text: Last month my PTO just stopped while I was mowing. I found wires melted and/or pulled out from the bottom of the clutch. My dealer indicated that it would require a new clutch which was installed May 27. Yesterday, I was mowing with about 4 hours on the new clutch when the PTO just stopped as I was mowing. I had started mowing and it ran fine for about 45 minutes. I inspected the mower and the wiring seemed fine and the fuse was fine. When I called the dealer he thought I needed a new PTO switch and said he should have one in a few days. Does anyone have an idea what this might be? It seems logical that a switch would just not work when engaged rather than fail after the clutch is engaged and the blades are working. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.

So… I decided to write this blog post out of total boredom.
I started using eyeliner back when I was um… 13 or so? But I had started with liquid liners and pencil liners so I have really few gel liners cause I just caught the gel liner fever. And I'm a total convert. Gel liners don't smudge as much as pencil liners and that's totallll~y my favorite part. Now I'll compare 2 of my most favorite gel liners that I own~ ^^
Tonymoly Backstage Gel Eyeliner; #1 Black
(Haha I couldn't get the entire pricetag off… I think it was ₩8500? ~8.50 USD!)
NEED I SAY MORE ABOUT THIS EYELINER. This stuff is amaaa~zing!! Honestly!! It's so creamy and it glides on so smooth on your eyelids it totally feels like a dream! Plus it's really affordable too! It comes with a gel liner brush attached to the top but I prefer using a slanted edged brush to apply eyeliner so I don't use that gel liner brush all that often.
Creamy yummy goodness
#1 Black!
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
This was the first ever gel liner I used (thus explaining the deep hole in the jar) but MAC is a heeeeellllaaaa expensive where I live. Like it's literally 40 bucks for an eyeliner. Revlon is equally expensive ㅠㅠ) so I got my Aunt in America to send me this ♡♡♡ And I have liked it ever since I laid hands on it but. It's too expensive! I really wouldn't repurchase it. The pigmentation of this liner is amazing though but I do think it's not as creamy as Tonymoly's liner.
All in all… Tonymoly all the way!! Much cheaper & creamier & more pigmented. Love love love the Backstage Gel Eyeliner ♡

Problem: Therese Sliwa, Waltham, Mass., wrote about our response in the July "Our Readers Write" column to someone who complained about people writing "could of" for "could've" and "should of" for "should've."
"I always understood that the term should be 'could have' in conversation, but more importantly, in written text," Sliwa wrote. "I would never write, in any document (business or not), the word 'could've.' I don't believe this is proper grammar."
Lesson: "Would've," "could've" and "should've" are proper contractions.
"As a rule, contractions are used only in informal writing or in tables where space is limited," says The Gregg Reference Manual. "However, contractions of verb phrases (such as 'can't' for 'cannot') are commonly used in business letters where the writer is striving for an easy, colloquial tone."
Writing "could of" when the meaning is "could have" is always an error; whether to write "could've" or "could have" is a style choice. Stick with one style—formal or informal—throughout your document.
But even in an informal context, avoid slang and terms that may be not only too informal but also confusing to your readers.

The CSSBI also includes selected board comparisons with US S&P 500 listed companies within the same revenue range. The 2016 CSSBI also includes a feature titled, "Continuing the Pursuit of Excellence in the Boardroom," in which several board-level priorities are explored, notably chair succession, board gender diversity, and board culture alignment and performance evaluations as drivers in board succession planning. Download the PDF now > Among the notable findings from this year's CSSBI analysis: Turnover of non-executive directors in the CSSBI 100 remained relatively high in 2016; 93 non-executive directors were appointed to the boards of CSSBI 100 companies in 2016 – two less than in 2015, but much higher than the totals in 2011 (76) and 2012 (78). Appointments of women directors remained at historically high levels in 2016, constituting 41% of all non-executive directors appointed to the boards of CSSBI 100 companies; close to one-third were non-residents of Canada. Overall representation of women board members continued to edge higher; in 2016, one-quarter (25%) of all board directorships on CSSBI 100 boards were held by women, two percentage points higher than 2015 and 10 more than 2011. Non-executive directors from outside Canada represented more than one-third (37%) of all appointments, up from 31% in 2015; in 2016, 27% of all non-executive directors in the CSSBI 100 were not residents of Canada, up from 23% in 2011. Compensation for non-executive directors rose slightly in 2016 – median total non-executive director compensation (including equity) was $188,000, a 2% increase over 2015 (in nominal amounts, measured on a constant company basis).
