Greece: Chios & Cesme Charter Itinerary

Greece: Chios & Cesme Itinerary

Greece: Chios & Cesme Yacht Charter
A short voyage across the narrow strait between the Turkish coast and the Greek island of Chios, a route rich in the fragrant mastic villages and Byzantine history of the eastern Aegean. This is off-the-beaten-track cruising, medieval castles and quiet coves, traditional villages and clear water. Expect the unique mastic groves of Chios and the thermal shores of Cesme, a characterful short escape.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
