Sail Ancient Trade Routes with Aegean Cargo Sailing

Approach unique Aegean islands, travelling back in time, use the power of the wind and ply nearly forgotten routes, and engage local farms and craftsmen who need to trade their goods within the Aegean. Learn and practice how to handle the vessel, lower sails, weigh anchor, and navigate in daytime and under the stars, alongside expert mariners.

Upon making land, there will be further opportunity to experience the local culture – by loading, unloading and completing deliveries to those who live and work on the island, to taste and inquire as to how local products are made. Enjoy two days on most islands, to explore the fantastic Aegean biodiversity, visit archaeological sites, walk on ancient trails and experience authentic Greek hospitality, far away from mass-produced commercial tourism.

All onshore excursions are guided, and all meals are locally prepared and cooked with organic ingredients. On-board supplies are locally sourced as well.
