Arya Yachting sailing & hiking routes

These tours are during spring and autumn, when the weather is fresh, but mostly sunny. According to the group's preferences and the weather, the focus can be either on sailing or hiking

We normally use NOSTALGIA our 4- cabin boat with good sailing performance for cabin charters.

For private gulet charters you have the choice of any gulet in our fleet.
