The one-week sailing trip through the Aegean Sea (from Nafplio to Santorini), accompanied by Wolfgang Lechner, combines relaxed sailing with high-quality cultural and culinary moments. Along the way, we visit selected islands and places steeped in history, where Greece’s past and present come alive.
A highlight is the excursion to the winery on Milos – an authentic insight into the world of Greek wine.
On Spetses, the program includes a visit to the Bouboulina Museum, which impressively documents the life and work of the famous captain and freedom fighter. In this way, the history of the Greek struggle for independence can be experienced directly and fits in with the overall cultural theme of the trip.
On board, Wolfgang Lechner deepens the impressions with three accompanying lectures: “Greeks and Turks: 1000 years of a difficult neighborhood”, “The woman Alexis Sorbas dreamed of: Bouboulina, captain and freedom fighter” and “Greek wine. The cultural history of a very special drink”. The result is a week that ideally combines sailing, relaxation, culinary discoveries and in-depth background information.
Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.
Independent arrival in Nafplio. With its Venetian-influenced old town, lively squares and the imposing Palamidi fortress, Greece’s former capital is one of the most beautiful towns in the country.
In the evening the crew welcomes you aboard RHEA. With a welcome drink and the first dinner together, your journey from the Peloponnese to the islands of the Cyclades begins.
After breakfast RHEA sets sail for Spetses. This green island looks back on a long seafaring tradition and combines maritime history with relaxed island life.
Horse-drawn carriages, elegant captains’ mansions and the lively harbour promenade give the town its special character. If you wish, you can explore the old town or enjoy a relaxing afternoon in one of the sheltered coves around the island.
Today sailing takes centre stage. RHEA leaves the Saronic Gulf and sets course for the Cyclades.
As the coastlines slowly fade on the horizon, you enjoy the vastness of the Aegean, long stretches under sail and that special feeling of being under way. Swimming stops in sheltered coves add variety before the evening draws to a close at anchor or at sea.
Milos is one of the most varied islands of the Cyclades. Its volcanic past has created a landscape of colourful rocks, hidden coves and impressive coastal formations.
The island is especially known for its many swimming coves and the picturesque fishing village of Klima, with its brightly painted boathouses right on the water. Its relaxed atmosphere makes Milos one of the loveliest hidden gems of the Aegean.
Another day in the western Cyclades gives you time to get to know the island and its coastline more closely. RHEA may anchor in one of the sheltered coves or sail along the spectacular coast with its caves and white rock formations.
Today the focus is on a combination of sailing, swimming and relaxed life on board.
RHEA continues her voyage to the south-east. With a little luck, the typical Aegean winds provide ideal sailing conditions on the way to the most famous island of the Cyclades.
Over the course of the day, Santorini appears on the horizon. The steep crater walls of the caldera and the white houses high above the sea are among the most striking views in the Mediterranean.
Today there is time to discover Santorini. The villages of Fira and Oia offer spectacular views over the caldera and are among Greece’s best-known postcard scenes.
If you wish, you can explore the island on your own, visit one of the wineries or simply soak up the special ambience of this unique volcanic landscape. In the evening the traditional Captain’s Dinner takes place against the breathtaking backdrop of Santorini.
After a final breakfast on deck, you disembark on Santorini. Independent departure, or extend your stay on one of Greece’s most fascinating islands.
Commissioned in spring 2017, the RHEA — like her sister ship CHRONOS — is with her 1000 m² sail area and 54 m length one of the most beautiful large luxury sailing yachts in the world. “Your private yacht for a limited time!”
