Kea is an architectural museum with colourful houses and little harbours. Its landscape will catch your attention with its green fields, high hills, vineyards, olive groves, ravines, coves and secluded beaches. You can go around the island on electric bikes and explore the local gastronomy, eat in a local farmstead, and enjoy the local hospitality. A very interesting gastronomical fact is the revival of acorn flour used to make gluten free pasta and other healthy delicacies.

Booking form
The cost for participating in the sailing tours will go towards covering the cost of boat rental, professional captain’s salary, meals and targeted visits in the islands plus subsidizing the transportation cost of small quantities of high quality and low carbon footprint products. Our not for profit organisation will reinvest any profits into expanding sustainable agriculture and transport in the islands, supporting local producers to optimize their products and finding markets for them. The legal form chosen does not allow distribution of profits to Aegean Sails SCE member shareholders and it is specifically conceived as a legal social improvement vehicle.
About the travel experience
During the voyage we welcome guests onboard, who will explore the unique Aegean islands and their communities off the beaten track, using the power of the wind and plying nearly-forgotten routes to engage with local farms and craftsmen who need to trade their goods within the Aegean.
As a guest, you can learn and practice how to handle the vessel, hoist the sails, weigh anchor and navigate in day time and under the stars, alongside practiced mariners who are there to engage and teach you.
Upon making land, there will be further opportunity to experience the local culture by visiting the producers and their facilities and tasting their premium products. Additionally, there will be time 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.
Climate change adaptation: zero carbon transport Aegean Cargo Sailing
The Aegean Cargo Sailing tours are organized for the 9th summer in 2025 and are dedicated to experimentally connecting the islands by sail and solar energy for both cargo and passengers. Supporters of this goal embark as paying crew members contributing to the financial needs of this project.
The tours can use 15m, 5 cabin sailboats for the comfort of the supporters only if they are at least 80% full i.e. 25 passengers per 2 month round. If the occupancy rate is not achieved by January 31 2024, then either the down payments are reimbursed and the reservations canceled OR the supporters can choose to sail with the First in the World Electric Solar Cargo Sailboat PELAGO for half the payment as a donation to the project. In that case, the cost of meals and island visits is not included. PELAGO will travel on the exact same schedule. It does not offer the same comfort as a 15m rented sailboat. It has only one closed cabin and one bathroom plus one more double bed and one single bed in the central living cabin. No more than two paying crew members can be accommodated along with the captain and possibly a captain’s second if needed. There is no comfort on PELAGO, however you would experience the real life of sailors in conditions of safety but resembling CAMPING ON THE SEA.
