Local Experts
Authentic Cuisine
We recommend dining with your captain occasionally, it’s a great way to learn more about Greece, the islands, and the captain too. On some of the smaller islands, the menus are only in Greek, so the captain can help translate and suggest the local specialties that you won’t want to miss.

His favorite place to sail is Cyclades.

Kiriakos was born in the island of Ikaria. Because the island of Ikaria is surrounded by rough and high seas, many citizens were raised to be sailors. His father was a captain on cargo ships who often took Kiriakos on big trips around the world when he was a child..
He took to sailing at a very young age, soon started to captain sailing boats in races and charter trips. He has owned a boat for many years which has been one of his prize possessions.

Yiannis P. is half-Athenian & half-Cretan and, as everyone is in Greece, is very proud of where he’s from.
He’s been sailing since he completed his military service – first with friends, in sailing races, and transferring yachts around Greece, and then as a charter sailing captain. While most refer to passengers as ‘customers’, he likes to think of them as ‘co-sailors’.
