Summary

If we’re describing what a true perfect circle looks like, there’s no need to look much further than the Cyclades, or “Circular Islands.” Go where the weather (and your skipper) takes you aboard our all-new, state-of-the-art 57 ft yacht, whether that’s exploring ruins, stopping by a microbrewery for a taste, or relaxing on golden sands. See the famous windmills of Mykonos and sail through Santorini's caldera, all while enjoying the view from aboard our yacht along the way.

    Michael May, 2026 Verified

  • I greatly enjoyed my experience on the G Adventures Mykonos sailing adventure. I set out to learn more about Greek culture and specifically about sailing in Greece, and learned more than I expected. It turned out to be a unique experience that I wouldn't be able to replicate, though will plan to augment through additional adventures. I really enjoyed sailing with Miguel, and the overall experience touring and sailing in Greece.
