great history with them, good guides, reasonable expenses
10/08/2023
I honestly loved the time we spent sailing to each island and having the opportunities to explore new places. Our skipper was also amazing but the only unexpected situation was my sister and I were paired with older couples that were over 60. Ideally, we would have preferred being with people closer to our age group.

Sailing is the best way to see the Greek islands. Provided they are comfortable on yachts, this is a great trip!
10/08/2023
Just the right mix of organization and adventure
10/08/2023
Well organised and not overly busy trips
10/08/2023
Organized enough but still unstructured and flexible. Having an expert in the area gave us the confidence we were a)safe, and b) not missing anything we?d regret later!
10/01/2023
Our captain..Marious was fantastic..he ate with us..he taught us how to sail..he explained what he was doing..it was enlightening. The islands and oceans were everything I thought they would be and more..
10/01/2023
It was not as good as it sounded on the internet.
10/01/2023
Trip was very enjoyable and quite a personal experience
09/24/2023
It was such a great experience, but it wouldn't be a good fit for those without a sense of adventure or willingness to share small spaces.
09/24/2023
Our captain, Marko. He made the trip better than it already was!
09/24/2023
Our CEO Marko was amazing. Cramped forward berth and limited ship amenities mean it's a limited recommendation.
09/24/2023
It would be better for some people more than others. I would recommend and then explain the ruggedness.
09/24/2023
Quite unique, great to experience the cyclades by sea
09/20/2023
Lost one whole day of sailing due to scheduled mechanical maintenance while we were supposed to be at sea. Spent 2 extra days in stuck ports, waiting for less wind.
09/20/2023
I love G and what it stands for on many levels. I will definitely continue to share the adventures with G.
09/17/2023
Too many reasons to list. I've done 3 other G Adventures trips and this one did not come anywhere near to meeting my G expectations.
09/17/2023
The online description of the boat did not match the actual boat we were on. There were no ensuite bathrooms or A/C
09/17/2023
This type of sailboat travel is very confined space and best if people fully appreciate the set up.
09/10/2023
Really enjoyed my week on board 'Lina.' Thought it was a great way to explore the islands instead of other modes of transfer (ferry, plane). Skipper Marko was very friendly, good skipper and guide as well!
