Greecebysea Reviews 

My husband and I rented a cabin in the Anatolie and sailed the small Cyclades for about a week. What an AMAZING experience! Joris and Morgan make an excellent team. The food is delicious - all fresh. Morgan is an outstanding and creative cook, able to improvise to adjust to my food restrictions with meals just as delicious as the others. Thank you Morgan! Joris expertly sailed us through calm and not so calm waters and took us to amazing coves and beaches, less visited small islands, and a couple of the larger ones to mix it up. I have to say the overnights in small islands and quiet coves were my absolutely favorites. Wish the wind had cooperated a bit more to shut down the engines more often but Mother Nature cannot be controlled. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We’ve done several trips on this kind of boats but this trip has been the best by far!! Great boats the Syrolana and Anatoly, everything was in perfect condition,! But the best part was the crew, we are a family of 17 and everyone felt as at home with them! The only bad thing: we ate too much as the food was so good!!

L’équipage et l’ambiance et la convivialités sont au rendez-vous, Les étapes bien choisies et le capitaine a pris soin de notre confort.

First time sailing for a week. Wasn’t sure what to expect. This crew and trip were way beyond expectations, despite challenging weather to start. Joris took us to beautiful, hideaway spots with turquoise water that was irresistible. He shared the history and character of each spot, and the best tavernas to go to. Morgan made exquisite meals full of fresh produce and that were surprising and beautiful. She made special vegetarian dishes for us that were amazing. We felt like family. It was a unique and truly special experience - all because of Joris, Morgan, the beautiful ship, the Anatolie, and the Aegean Sea.

This outfit is over the top! The elegant wooden sail boats set the tone for a classy experience including gourmet breakfast and lunch every day, expert and “safety first” sailing acumen, stops in secluded coves mid day, and overnights truly out of the way of the tourist trample! Everything about this trip exceeded our expectations 10 fold! Captain Joris and Morgan (both trained at Les Glénans, a French sailing school) set an unsurpassed bar for cruising the Cyclades on the Anatole! (We rented just one cabin, the largest one, not the entire ship.). This is a relaxing full experience, not just hard core sailing.

Ich hab mich super wohl gefühlt. Joris and Morgane waren super lieb. Ich fühlte mich immer sicher. Meine Kabine war topp. Das Essen war großartig. 👍☀️⛵️🐝

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in den Kykladen auf der Anatolie mit Kapitän Joris und Seefrau Morgane. Schon bei der Buchung war Elina - wie immer - sehr hilfreich und konnte uns schon sehr früh über die Streiks in Griechenland informieren, sodass wir unseren Reiseplan entsprechend anpassen konnten.
Joris fuhr die Anatolie sehr umsichtig durch wechselhaftes Wetter und Wasserbedingungen und hatte eine Menge Tipps für die Inseln.
Und schließlich Morgane, die so fantastisch gekocht hat, dass manche Spitzenrestaurants nicht mithalten können. Es ist für uns die dritte Fahrt mit greecebysea, aber dieses Mal war es dank Morgane und Joris besonders schön! Vielen Dank!

Formidable expérience pour notre premier voyage en Grèce.
Nous avons aimé chaque minute à bord grace au professionnalisme de notre super team : Manolis, notre skipper nous a fait naviguer en toute sécurité et nous a trouvé chaque jour de petites criques formidables pour se baigner.
Maria était toujours souriante et efficace quelque soit la question et Dimitri nous a concocté d'excellents repas dignes d'un très bon restaurant..
Merci à Elina d'avoir répondu avec patience et gentillesse à toutes mes questions quand je préparais ce voyage.
Les cabines et les lits du Syrolana étaient confortables. La goélette est très bien entretenue.
La clientèle internationale fait de l'anglais la langue principale à bord, surtout si comme cette année, ils ne trouvent pas de personnel parlant français, mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé.
Nous n'avons pratiquement pas navigué à la voile à cause du vent mais cela nous a permis de visiter plus d'iles et personne n'a été malade à bord.
Excellente croisière donc que nous recommandons chaudement

We had an amazing cruise with Greece by Sea around the Cyclades. The landscapes were stunning, the commander and his crew were fantastic, and the food on board was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfectly organized — highly recommended!

My wife and I just disembarked from the Syrolana after a week in the Cyclades.

It was truly an amazing experience.

The crew, headed by Captain Manolis, Maria, and Dimitris (a.k.a. Jim), were amazing.

The food was truly top notch gourmet.

Our destinations were quite spectacular and off the beaten path.

If you’re looking for something special you should book with them immediately! So good!

6ème croisière avec Greece by Sea et encore une fois une croisière magique (dans les Sporades à bord du Kapetan Kosmas cette année), où nous nous sommes sentis privilégiés à chaque instant.

Le bateau, à la fois élégant et confortable, est un vrai cocon. Les escales nous ont fait découvrir les Sporades et le Pélion sous leur plus beau visage : des criques secrètes aux eaux translucides, des villages pleins de charme et des ports vivants à l’ambiance joyeuse et détendue.

Nous avons eu la chance de vivre des moments hors du temps avec les voiles déployées et les dauphins jouant autour du bateau, ou encore assisté à des couchers de soleil à couper le souffle, encadrés par un équipage aux petits soins et repus à bord par des repas toujours excellents.

Encore une parenthèse enchantée que nous recommandons sans hésitation à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la Grèce autrement dans un cadre idyllique et authentique.

Before the trip even started I was enamored with Elina’s wonderfully written emails, which gave me confidence that it was going to be a fantastic trip. From start to finish the crew of Kapetan Kosmas made us feel pampered and cared for. Captain Themis exuded confidence and kept us informed of everything we could expect and look forward to. Stefy always had a smile and an infectious exuberance in her job. Pighi cooked meals with expertise and love. The boat was beautiful and made you feel like you were living in a classic piece of art. I could go on and on about this once in a lifetime experience, but just take my word for it and book yours!

Magique
Nous avons fait une semaine sur l Anatolie.
Tout était parfait.
Des supers spots, des plats extrêmement soignés et une équipe au top.

All the way through from booking to sailing was simple & straightforward. Elena was so helpful with all the organising and answering my many questions. Pick up at the airport was on time, friendly & comfortable. Then the boat - kapetan kosmas with Captain Themis, Stefy & Pighi, what a team they made our trip extra special. Looked after our every need, gave such good advice on where to eat in port and took us to some amazing spots. Can't praise them highly enough for their professionalism mixed with real friendly fun. Thanks guys from Mags & David (Scotland)

Greek waters are safer and more enjoyable with captain Themis on them. His sailing knowledge and overall competence are second to none.

The crew was equally as impressive. They worked tirelessly to maintain the boat, support the captain, and please the guests. The food on board was excellent, it was as beautiful as it was delicious.

We had flight and bag delays, but Themis communicated with me constantly. He worked with us to ensure we made it to the boat as quickly as possible so we could enjoy our time sailing.

The sailboat is beautiful, the Sporades islands are breathtaking, and the time we had on board was remarkable, but I really cannot say enough good things about the entire crew of the Kapetan Kosmas.

This was our third adventure on the Syrolana. We had one in the Ionian Islands and two in the Cyclades. The boat is comfortable, well maintained. The captain, Manolis, is extremely knowledgeable and capable. The crew worked with him seamlessly, and he took our wants into consideration. The food was magnificent and plentiful. It doesn't hurt that the islands are fabulous. Spectacular! The bottom line is that we came back for more and will sail with him again. A great way to visit the islands!

Le capitaine et son équipe sont formidables. A l’écoute de tout les passagers. Le service et la cuisine sont parfait. Nous nous sommes vraiment régalés pendant toute notre périple

We have just completed our fourth private charter of the Syrolana to tour the smaller Cyclades.

Captain Manolis, our chef Nico, and first mate America were exceptional as always. Knowledgeable, accommodating and endlessly patient for us.

We have already reserved the Syrolana again for next year, and look forward to seeing our friends (the Crew) again.

Greece By Sea is a wonderful company we have come to trust.

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

Pour la deuxième fois en deux ans, 2 semaines chaque fois dans une zone différente: Cyclades,Eubée, Sporades avec Kapetan Kosma. Les Iles Ioniennes pour la dernière semaine sur Syrolana.
A chaque croisière un équipage qui vous est dédié avec une bienveillance rare et avec des talents pour leur fonction respective.
Les bateaux, magnifiques de matériaux sont à jour dans leur maintenance et généreux dans leurs zones de repos.
Chacun des membres d'équipage sont de belle et bonne nature et toujours prêts à vous faite plaisir.
Dans les talents précités, il y a la cuisine! Magnifique et délicieuse.
Merci pour ces beaux mouillages et votre compagnie attentionnée
