Itinerary

Day 1: Athens to Perdika

These islands aren't going to sail themselves! Board our yacht, meet your fellow sailors and get ready to drift out of Athens. You've heard it here first, this trip is made for those that love to chill, swim, eat and repeat while getting up on the water like a boss. A...

Day 2: Perdika to Hydra

From one paradise to another, we wave goodbye to Perdika and make our way to a pristine island nestled between the Saronic and Argolic Gulf. We will be making plenty of swim stops to keep things cool, so lather up the sunscreen and perch on deck as we relax into the g...

Day 3: Hydra to Plaka Leonidion

The yachting life will feel all very perfect & natural this morning as we anchor up yet again & cruise the Med in search of our next destination. Plaka Leonidion calls us back to Greece's mainland for a day in which swimming in tranquil bays is high priority....

Day 4: Plaka to Nafplio

Plaka will leave us feeling all inspired by what the Greek coastline has on offer - so we'll stick to it! Making our way to Nafplio, a little further in the bay. Nafplio will change things up for us with its museums, restaurants, shops, local markets & hillside f...

Day 5: Nafplio to Spetses

Out of Nafplio we head for swim time in Zogeria Bay, a secluded spot straight out of the movies, it's pristine waters are a great place to do some of those 'jump' shots to throw straight up on Facebook. Next up, our evening hot spot. The sweet sailing bliss just never...

Day 6: Spetses to Poros

Kounoupi islet is ours this morning, known as a 'must stop' amongst the savvy yachting community. The relaxing summer vibes continue as we head to Dhokos, home to a 4500 year old shipwreck, offically the oldest in the world. So pretty with its pine trees and fresh gr...

Day 7: Poros to Aegina

Historical artifacts and long coastlines are just around the corner at our final destination before we head back to Athens. So long Poros! Apart from being jaw-droppingly beautiful and packed with history, this island is pretty as a picture, and offers all of the go...

Day 8: Aegina to Athens

Our final sea journey onboard the boat that we have come to know as home. From Aegina we set sail for Athens, perhaps with a little tear in our eyes. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened! That's what the insta quotes say, right? Meh, maybe you should just book another trip to ease the pain…#NOREGRETS

We’re firm believers that life’s greatest experiences are made better by the people you share them with. That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.

No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.

We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. You can expect to join a group of 18-53 awesome people from around the world on our Europe, Australia, North America and New Zealand trips, and in Asia and Latin America it's all about small group adventures with up to 25 travellers. Don't worry if you're not traveling as a couple or with a friend from home – though there are plenty of pairs, 50% of our travellers set off solo, meaning you'll have a ton of opportunities to make new friends.

With over 270 trips around the world and plenty of departure dates to work into your schedule, you'll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure.

About the company:
Contiki are the world leaders in social youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?

Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, the destinations we visit, the cultures we enjoy and the environment, too.

Their trips create life-long memories for young people setting off to discover the world.
