Greece Yacht Week: Three Routes, Three Social Energies

Thinking of joining the Greece Yacht Week, but you’re unsure if it suits you? There are three routes to choose from. With each, you experience a different social energy. From a classic Yacht Week experience to a full-send party week to a singles sailing adventure. 

Let’s dive into these and find the perfect Greece flotilla for you.

The Original Greece Route

This is the same Yacht Week format. This time, navigating the Saronic Islands. The flotillas are typically smaller, so it feels more intimate. You experience a good balance of everything Yacht Week: sailing, parties, and social and cultural exploration.

The Social Energy

Greece, compared to the OG Croatia Yacht Week, is a more personal experience. The social energy remains high, especially during parties. You will get to know most everyone in your flotilla. And you spend days exploring Greek towns with them.

Days vs Nights

Days are spent in the water. Sailing, swim stops, raft-up parties, Regatta Day. Most afternoons, we’ll make our way to the islands to dock and explore. This extends into nighttime for parties under the stars. 

Typical Stops & Parties

There are three main island stops for Greece Yacht Week: Poros, Hydra, and Ermioni. Each of these is an adventure on its own. With your new friends, you’ll have time to explore landmarks, like the Temple of Poseidon, the Zoodohos Pigi Monastery, and the Thermisia Castle. Hydra is car-free and known for its 18th-century stone mansions. Walking its steep, flower-covered streets feels like walking back in time. 

Before dusk, explore the shops and sample local specialities. By night, the mood shifts, and it feels like a town takeover for our parties. We hit Cape Sol on the Athens Riviera and Cavo Bianco in Ermioni, among other exclusive beach clubs, for all-night parties. 

Best Suited For

You want the OG Yacht Week experience but in Greece.

Discophoria, Greece

The dance floor is the ocean. The music jives with the waves. If you travel to a funky soundtrack, then Discophoria Greece Yacht Week is for you.

The Social Energy

Music drives the trip. And when the crew grooves to the same tune, everything feels easy-going and fun. Everyone’s here to have a great time. 

Days vs Nights

We don’t blame you if visions of Mamma Mia come to mind. It can feel like a movie. The crystal-clear waters of the Saronic Gulf, its imposing islands, and the music. You spend days sailing and swimming, and nights, partying it up under the Mediterranean sky.

Typical Stops & Parties

Before the week ends, you’ll have a favorite from our Greek Island stops. You’ll love that Poros knows how to party and has some of the best restaurants and bars. Hydra is like time-traveling. You just get lost exploring its steep streets and marveling at its whitewashed stone mansions. At Ermioni, you wander up Pronos Hill for the chapel of Agia Ermioni and the most amazing view. You then head to a quaint cafe, sit on one of its wooden chairs, and enjoy an aperitif. 

These coastal interludes rev you up for Discophoria parties. You’d soon be grooving to Disclosure’s Tondo and Shakedown’s At Night to ABBA and Michael Jackson classics. 

Best Suited For

You want the Yacht Week experience, set to your favorite disco and house tunes.

Thursday Singles Week

This is the Thursday X Yacht Week collab that changes the game. The agenda is clear: you meet and mingle while exploring one of the most iconic sea routes in Europe. 

Thursday is a global dating app and event company that offers trips for like-minded singles. Greece Yacht Week is their major destination, billing it as the “wildest, sunniest, most unforgettable week of your life.” Yes, guilty as charged.

The Social Energy

This feels like the adventure of a lifetime. You’re not just sailing the Saronic Gulf. You’re testing the waters and embracing new possibilities. This combo turns the heat all the way up.

Days vs Nights

Days and nights feel like a blur. Scenes shift from the pristine Mediterranean waters to coastal towns to a blanket of stars. You are getting to know interesting people in possibly the most romantic settings. 

Typical Stops & Parties

You get several opportunities to explore the islands of Poros, Hydra, and Ermioni as you mingle with the rest of the crew. Walk the cobbled streets of Ermioni looking for your new favourite, the 

Mydopilafo. Sample Trachia cheeses and savor the experience. Take things a bit slower in Hydra. Walk around and share a grilled seafood meal. 

Back at Poros town, you might party a little harder. So, fill up on fresh seafood meze and sample the local Retsina wine. Rent an ATV and give your match a ride to Love Bay.

Of course, it won’t be a Yacht Week collab without our raft parties, high-glamour Riviera Radiance beach party, and the culminating Moonlight Masquerade party.

Best Suited For

Single people looking to meet other singles on their vacation in Greece.
