August 30, 2023Northern Aegean Sea Circle special edition.
Aegean Cargo Sailing and Lafri on Art and Beyond join forces to create an extraordinary sailing adventure for the summer 2024.
We invite you to embark on an unforgettable journey that is not just a sailing adventure; it’s a celebration of community, ecology and gastronomy. Immerse yourself in the art of sailing, forge connections through communal living, savor the richness of local flavors as we visit producers and indulge in the authenticity of Greek hospitality. Relax on deserted beaches, escaping the hustle of mass tourism, and travel through time on ancient sea trails, creating memories that transcend the ordinary. During the journey, local products will be loaded and unloaded, and you will experience first hand the im
portance of sustainable ecological sea transportation. Welcome aboard a voyage where you will create memories for life.

Our not for profit organization 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.
