Vacation on a yacht in Greece - islands and legends

Embark on an unforgettable adventure by cruising on a yacht through the islands of the Saronic Gulf in Greece. If you're a first-time sailor, Check in Sea makes it easy to rent a yacht and find an experienced captain. All you need is a backpack filled with a good mood and a thirst for adventure. Each island in the Gulf holds secrets and surprises, from stunning beaches and lush pine forests to charming village taverns. But don't stop at the surface level, as each island also holds a wealth of history and legends waiting to be discovered. For example, the island of Aegina was once ruled by the illegitimate son of Zeus, while Poseidon made his home on Poros, and Teseus, who slayed the Minotaur, found solace on these islands. And it's not just mythological beings that have been drawn to this region - Hollywood stars have also been known to frequent these waters.

During your week-long cruise, you'll have the opportunity to visit ancient ruins, explore mysterious caves, and even climb the summits of sleeping volcanoes. And as a reward for your active exploration, you'll spend a full day at the main spa resort of Greece - the island of Methane, famous for its therapeutic thermal springs. Let the beauty and history of the Saronic Gulf enchant you on this unforgettable yacht adventure.

CHECKINSEA opened the world of sailing to me. Thanks, guys.

Timur Fedoryak,

Check in Greece

Finally, he gathered his courage and thoughts. I am quite an advanced traveler, but I tried yachting for the first time. And in short - it was worth it!!

Larisa Vorobey,

Check in Turkey

My husband and I visited many previously unknown places in Turkey, as these locations are unreachable for an ordinary tourist vacationing as part of a package tour!

Thank you to your company for an active and unusual vacation for me! Captain Oleg Petrovych Tsypko is a master of his craft. 40 years of yachting experience! My husband and I visited many previously unknown places in Turkey, as these locations are unreachable for an ordinary tourist vacationing as part of a package tour!

Check in Greece

Will I go on a yacht again? Yes, definitely! It is unlikely that it will be Greece again, but only because other islands and countries are already beckoning me. I just got back from my first yacht tour, but I'm already looking forward to the next one

On the islands of Greece with “Check in Sea” 03-11.07.2021 A week ago, for the first time in my life, I stepped onto the gangway of a yacht. I boarded her as a "passenger", but as soon as the yacht left the marina, and, without noticing for me, my transformation from a "passenger" into a "crew member" began. I think that the same thing happened with other members of our team. Since all of us who were on board were different people, not familiar with each other, each with their own individual experience, employed in various industries, the first couple of days there was an adaptation or, in other words, “grinding”. Everyone was polite, sociable, but there was some stiffness and alertness. As we moved along the route, we studied and got to know each other closer, and already on the second or third day there was not a trace of these feelings left. This was facilitated not only by the competent leadership of the captain and the fact that each of the crew members turned out to be a wonderful and sociable person, but also by the superbly selected sequence of locations and impressions that we received on them. It was so much fun that we couldn't help but share our emotions with each other! It brought us closer. So, while crossing the islands, walking along the picturesque embankments of various cities, having dinner in a restaurant, evening gatherings with a guitar and a bottle of dry wine, riding ATVs, swimming in bays and “bungee riding” on the high seas, almost imperceptibly - a week has flown by. In addition to the impressions, I want to note the quality of food on board - it is beyond praise. Separately, I want to thank our stewardess Bogdana and captain Dmitry for this - guys, thank you very much! Do I know what yachting is? No, I don't have enough experience - it was my first outing. I know only one thing - it was a “door” through which I looked into this world, where the “magic” of impressions and rather “close” communication of different people produces a value of a higher order than the money spent. For this, many thanks to you guys, “by chance”, who ended up on board with me. Thank you - Sergey, Olya, Alena, Julia, Igor, Slava, Valeria, Bogdana, my wife Tatyana. Special thanks to the company "Check in Sea" and its Skipper - Dima. Will I go on a yacht again? Yes, definitely! It is unlikely that it will be Greece again, but only because other islands and countries are already beckoning me. I have just returned from my first yacht tour, but already I can't wait to look beyond the line where the water surface and the sky converge - after all, behind it are the Caribbean, Italy, Norway, Seychelles .... Mmmm, any of these names paints my imagination in bright colors and now I know for sure that, thanks to yachting, I will see them from an unusual angle and - I will not be disappointed! Seven feet under the keel!
