Embark on an odyssey through the islands of Greece and coastal Türkiye aboard Wind Spirit, an exclusively chartered, four–masted sailing yacht. Spend your days cruising turquoise waters, exploring rugged islands and getting acquainted with the rich history of the Aegean. Your first stop is the islet of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to explore the ruins of the uninhabited island, a former flourishing port and religious center. Continue to glamorous Mykonos before disembarking in Türkiye to tour Greek, Roman and Byzantine ruins in Ephesus and visit a carpet weaving workshop.
Arrive in Patmos, the island where Christian tradition says St. John wrote his gospel and the Book of Revelation. Tour the monastery founded in his honor and the Cave of the Apocalypse, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Another UNESCO World Heritage site, the Medieval City of Rhodes, awaits you on the island of Rhodes.
