Greecebysea Reviews 

Had an absolutely fantastic week on Anatolie in July 2024. Crew were great, food was amazing and weather and locations were fantastic. Highly recommended!!

Great boat, great crew, delicious food and nice fellow passengers. A truly delightful journey through the Sporades

We sailed aboard the Syrolana during the last week of May 2024 around the Cyclades. Captain Manolis, America and Nico ensured we had an excellent time on board, with top-notch hospitality, high-quality food and an itinerary that considered the authentic sides of the islands. We are already planning to sail again with Greece by Sea. Thank you!

We had a PERFECT experience with this captain and crew. They were as awesome as can be. More comments later after our vacation is over.

We are just leaving gulet Anatolie. We have spent a marvelous week with Ilias’ crew. The three of them are full of energy and skills. Carla is a young marvellous cook as well as a sailor. Ilias the captain and Joris are excellent sailors too. We had a great time sailing with a very strong wind in the Cyclades. It was a little bit of an adventure. The Anatolie is a comfortable gulet. The islands, small ports and villages were charming. Greece you expect to see.
Thank you all.

What a trip! Our first cruise on a sailboat, and our first visit to Greece! Capt Manolis was thoroughly professional and competent, aided by Ami and Nikos, his able crew. We 10 passengers, from 5 different countries with multiple languages, had such a wonderful and interesting time! The food was exceptional (thanks, Nikos!), the weather was gorgeous and the towns we visited were so charming. We always felt well-cared for by the crew and had complete confidence in the captain. I'm not a swimmer and was a little apprehensive about being on deck at first, but that quickly dissipated, I got my sea legs, and I always felt safe and knew that the crew was watching out for all of us. We had ample time for swimming, sightseeing in town, and sampling local delicacies. The captain briefed us before every journey about the route, the ports, and local village information. It was a superb introduction to the Cyclades, and we are already thinking about the next trip!

What a wonderful experience! Crew Ami, Nikos and captain Manolis very professional and experienced, food was delicious with lovely greek specialties. We saw and visited wonderful islands and had good wind for some sailing and we where in great company from all over the world - lots of laughter and joy 👍

A couple of years ago on the Kapitaine Kosmos! Smoothly arranged and seamessly organized by Elina.
Lovely tour, great passengers and food!
The water and sails and sea spray... as well as stops in islands and Grecian landscapes.
History and knowledge in late evening and into early morning chats. Yes there was songs, camaraderie, and very deep exchanges...
A treasured experience and mostly friendship.
Soon to be relived again.
So worth it. So worth it!!!

Dovilio.

I was on the Syrolana. It was completely lovely. We saw Delos and many other sites, including so many others. There was also great food aboard!

I value family run businesses, and with this company you really feel the soul! Traveling Greece by sea is really the way to go...from their exquisitely crafted vessels, knowledgable captains and crew, impeccable food service and outstanding locations. It's a dream vacation where you can really relax and restore yourself. To this date, it's been my husband and I's favorite vacation together.

I even referred my dad to take a trip with Greece by Sea, and he ended up proposing to his girlfriend on their trip!! :)

We have cruised with Greecebysea two times : Sporades Islands onboard Kapetan Kosmas, and Ionnian Islands onbooard Syrolana. Everytime we have enjoyed our trips : very sympathetic crew and very professional, remote and quite moorings, comfortable and secure boats, excellent food and cookers. I you like nature, wildness, friendship and the lovely country of Greece, book your next cruise on Greecebysea.com !!

I made 3 cruises on different boats of the company with Captain Alex and the last with Thémis to discover the Sporades Islands (twice, I never tire of it :-)) and the Cyclades Islands. The boat was a discovery for me but the calm waters of the Sporades reassured me. On each trip, I was able to appreciate the comfort of the boat, the professionalism of the crew and the beauty of the landscape and of Greece thanks to the judicious choice of stopovers. Life on the boat is easy because the tourists who make this choice of vacation are generally good company and everyone is free on stopovers to stay with the group or alone. I recommend without hesitation because it is truly a very good service and I give 5 stars for the quality of this service in its entirety (reception, catering, on-board services, snorkeling activities, etc.).

We have sailed with this company twice and have just booked our 3 tour this summer. We can not recommend Alex and his family & crew enough. If you want to give your family a big treat, - book a family cruise.

Beautiful wooden and comfortable boat (and calm! no noise of generators), sailing and stopovers really superb, confidential anchorages, brilliant and sweet crew (idem for the back office, always very efficient and responsive), kayak and paddle at disposal, captain always with good advice for shore visits, food worthy of a restaurant. Everything is perfect !
I have already sailed with them in the Sporades, the Ionians and the Cyclades and I will definitely come back to discover the other journeys I have not yet made.

A truly wonderful travel and sea-borne adventure! I spent a week on the Kapetan Kosmas in May 2023, sailing the West Cyclades, and it was pure bliss. Certainly one of the highlights of my month in Greece! I loved it so much that I'm doing another sail with the gang at Greece by Sea this year, this time to the Sporades. The crew are some of the most courteous and personable people I have met in my travels, the meals are fantastic, and pulling into a different port each afternoon in order to explore the island on food and to sample local cuisine makes for great travel experiences. Do yourself a favour and reserve your place on one of Greece by Sea's sailing itineraries!

I've booked the Syrolana for two private sailings so far and have two more for this year. It's been an amazing experience each time. They are so very easy to work with, very responsive and professional. I can't say enough about the crew, the food, the atmosphere on the boat. At the ends of the week everyone is so sad to have to get off the boat. One of the most beautiful and relaxing ways to see the smaller islands. Thank you to Elina, Manos, Nikos and all for so many wonderful memories We can't wait to see you again this fall.
