The Operator
The team behind Kyma Sailing
Nikos Papadakis spent twelve years delivering yachts around the Aegean before settling back in Thassos and buying Meltemi, a 46-foot sailing yacht, in 2017. Kyma Sailing is still just Nikos, one deckhand and one boat — which keeps the days unhurried: the route is decided each morning by the wind, lunch is whatever looked best at the fish market, and nobody is rushed back to the harbour.
One boat, one crew
Every trip is skippered by Nikos himself, with the same deckhand all season.
Route set by the wind
East-coast coves on calm days, the sheltered south side when the meltemi blows.
Lunch cooked on board
Greek salad, grilled fish or souvlaki, and local wine — included in every day trip.
