Description
Samothraki Adventure – Wild Landscapes & Coastal Cities
From the shelter of Kavala Marina, this route reaches out to a different Greece—one of waterfalls, hot springs, and an island mythology that whispers through pine and stone. It’s a week that alternates open-sea passages with restorative anchorages and evenings ashore in welcoming harbors. Confident skippers will appreciate the longer blue-water leg, while crews are rewarded with Samothraki’s raw beauty and the urban flavor of Alexandroupolis.
