Anko Yachting Greece

We can't believe we're coming to the end of another year...and when we look back on our top favorite memories of 2025 - there is nothing that comes even close to the fabulous Summer sailing vacation we took in the Greek Islands! (Which reminded me I meant to write a review!) From the champagne greeting on Day #1 to the over-the-top hospitality and delicious meals - Alicia and Thanos were simply amazing! After a tasty authentic greek breakfast of yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit, fresh juices and pastries our days were filled with sailing to swimming destinations, diving into the majestic turquoise waters and then enjoying wine and gourmet selections for lunch - it all seemed like a dream! Our group of 10 (combination of family and dear friends) were shown "island life" when each late afternoon we pulled into small quaint ports for an afternoon of sight-seeing and more tasty greek cuisine! Thanos (our Skipper) effortlessly maneuvered our catamaran into preferred docking spots at every stop. The Ionian Sea is stunning and the weather in June could not have been more perfect! If you're thinking of sailing on a private yacht in the Greek Islands, don't think any further than Anko Yachting - you will not ever be disappointed!

Our sailing trip with Thanos and Alisha was one in a million. We loved the swimming, the sailing, Alisha’s wonderful meals and the islands that we docked at for the evening.

A Trip of a Lifetime with Anko Yachting Our week with Anko Yachting was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were swept into the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and the stunning Ionian Islands. The water was impossibly blue, the landscapes breathtaking, and every day brought a new hidden gem—caves, secret swimming spots, and quiet anchorages we would never have found on our own. What made this experience truly unforgettable, though, was the Christopoulos family. Thanos and Alicia, along with their two wonderful children, made us feel instantly welcome and cared for. Their warmth, humor, and deep knowledge of the area turned every moment into a memory. We laughed often, ate incredibly well (the food was delicious and beautifully prepared), and felt like we were part of something really special. This wasn’t just a vacation—it was an experience of connection, exploration, and joy. If you’re looking for a truly personal and soul-filling sailing trip in Greece, do not hesitate. Book with Anko Yachting. You’ll come home sun-kissed, happy, and already dreaming of your return.

This was such a fabulous cruise. The captain gave us a great tour of the Ionian Islands. Both Thanos and Alicia were great hosts. The food was amazing and Alicia made it an experience. Their children joined us and they were delightful. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

We had a group of 4 on the Mythos II 54' sailboat in Aug 2023 and the trip was fantastic. Denis was the Captain and his wife Kristina was first mate and cook and they did a wonderful job taking care of the group during our week on the boat. We got to visit a different island every night, swim in protected coves a couple times each day and got to sail a few times during the week. The food on the boat was amazing, we tried all kinds of different things and they were all great. Kristina did an amazing job with the food in that little kitchen while going thru some big waves a couple days. It was so much food at lunch we would only be able to snack in the evening since we were still full from lunch. The swimming was great and we drank many beers sitting in the water enjoying music from the boat. Snorkeling wasn't anything to write home about, most of the bottom is dead, there are a bunch of small fish so that was just OK, but the water was generally very clear. Showering on the boat is interesting but after a couple of times you get the hang of it. Anko Yachting and the owner Thanos has a great trip itinerary with a few boat options, so if you're looking to see Greece, this is an awesome way to experience the country and the price point is very attractive for this level of service.

Our week was an absolutely incredible experience which exceeded our expectations and no aspect of our week on board Nicholas could have been bettered.

Amazing company for private sailing in Greece. Highly recommend.
