S0, how has Topdeck increased its offerings? Well they’ve just launched three new divine Greek Sailing itineraries: the Greek Island Chaser, Aegean Sunseeker – Mykonos to Santorini and Aegean Sunseeker – Santorini to Mykonos.

The Greek Island Chaser will be all about uncovering those hidden gems and less touristy places. The tour will visit Hydra (an island where no motor vehicles are permitted) have a walking tour of Athens with Topdeck Sailing Reps and a chance to visit Cape Sounio.

The Aegean Sunseeker on the other hand will visit the world-famous islands of Mykonos and Santorini, party in Ios, chance to do water sports in the Aegean sea.

Both trips will provide accomodation in cabins with air-conditioning and ensuites.

There will be daily swim stops, local crew who look after the cooking, cleaning and driving of the boat n board larger ships so they can withstand the weather elements in the Cyclades. This means itineraries are less likely to change, guided tours of each destination

Coinciding with the launch of these trips, is the release of Topdeck Travel’s findings from their 2018 Youth Travel Survey.

It’s been revealed that GREECE is Australia’s number one bucket list destination, followed by Canada and the US. The results also revealed that Greece is the number one bucket list destination globally for travellers.
