Sail the Greek Isles This Summer on This New Gulet Yacht—for Euros 22.000-25.000 per Week
Hop from Mykonos and Santorini on the new M/Y Entre Cielos.
When Swiss natives Cecile Adam and David Wager moved to
Mendoza, Argentina, with friends and family seven years ago, they may not have
envisioned that their love of fine food and wine would result in hospitality
offerings on two continents. But this May, that’s exactly what will happen:
Following the success of their Entre Cielos Wine Hotel + Spa in Mendoza (which
recently introduced stylish new Vineyard Lofts), the owners are expanding their
palate-pleasing offerings with the May 10 launch of the private S/Y EntreCielos yacht, which will cruise the Greek Islands.
Breakfast on S/Y Entre Cielos
Designed as a traditional Mediterranean gulet ship, the
104-foot yacht—which starts at about
Euros 22.000-25.000 per week—can accommodate 12 guests
in five cabins, each of which is named after a Greek philosopher (Socrates,
Plato, Pythagoras and so on) and stocked with related books. The staff of five
includes a private chef who will craft personalized meals featuring produce and
seafood sourced daily in each port; you can enjoy them on the spacious wooden
deck outfitted with cushy sofas and a large dining table. Given the Entre
Cielos brand’s winery origins, meals will be paired with bottles from a
well-stocked selection that highlights top labels from Greece and beyond.
The VIP Cabin Sokrates at S/Y Entre Cielos
In-between indulgences, guests can explore both popular and
lesser-known areas of the Greek Isles, choosing from itineraries that sail
though the Cyclades chain (including Mykonos and Santorini), the Ionian islands
(with its Venetian, British and French influences) or the Saronic Gulf chain
(which is steeped in mythology.) Along the way, you’ll visit ancient sites,
stroll through charming port towns, shop chic boutique and watch the sunset
from many a taverna terrace. Or have the captain just drop anchor in a secluded
cove so you can dive into the blue-green waters for a snorkel or swim. Better
still, do nothing at all but sunning yourself on the bow of your private
sailing yacht.
