Greek Island Sailing Itineraries Starting And Ending in Bodrum

Experience the ultimate feeling of escape, and enjoy travel at its most liberating with Neyzen’s luxury private and cabin gulet yacht charterssailing from Turkey to the Greek islands. We work closely with you to custom design your ideal yacht charter route exploring the secrets and highlights of the fabulous Greek Dodecanese Islands.

Gulet Yacht charter is a fantastic way to explore Greece’s myriad islands, some not even on the map. While much of Greece is beautifully undeveloped, a handful of our destinations still do not offer much of a choice accommodation-wise. This is why staying on board our yachts gives you the best of both worlds: with so many islands to explore you are already at home on board and can island hop to your hearts content without the hassle of luggage and logistics. Sea rhythms and the open air enhance this exclusive experience of Greece, its warm local hospitality, rustic charm, incredible natural beauty, fantastic climate and rich history. Experiencing this culture while staying close to nature, offers the perfect balance of adventure, reflection and relaxation.

Explore Greek island life and cuisine, enjoy sailing and water sports, relax in the sun, practice your photography, and read a book or two. You can even make reservations during one of the many festival seasons in the islands and soak up the unforgettable carnival atmosphere too. We have a selection of route combinations that will give you exactly what you want from your cruise, either by luxury cabin charter or private yacht charter.
