Tour Highlights
Visit the home of the very first SwimTrek - Cyclades was where our earliest adventures took place, back in 2003. We’re still exploring its enchanting islets today!
Dive into the Aegean! Seek out tunnels, arches, caves and dramatic underwater topography as we share coastal swims around scenic Mediterranean islands
Stay off the beaten track, with quaint accommodation on the unspoilt island of Schinoussa
Savour the friendly local atmosphere and narrow streets in the small island village of Schinoussa
Join us on our classic Greek Cyclades swimming holiday - a perfect location for quiet coastal swims and to sample laidback life on remote islands. The Cyclades was where the very first SwimTrek took place in 2003. We’re still exploring its enchanting islets and wild natural beauty today! This island-hopping getaway gives you the chance to swim among some of the most beautiful scenery, isolated beaches, and dramatic coastlines in the Mediterranean Sea.
From our base of Schinoussa, at the heart of the archipelago, we can island-hop our way around the Cyclades, discovering isolated beaches and sunlit coastlines, as well as enjoying several crossings. Our remote Greek adventure will consist of exploring the unspoilt islands of Schinoussa, Fidousa, Iraklia, Kato Koufonisi and Keros.
With a combination of crossings between islands and coastal swims beside sun-warmed outcrops, you’ll have the chance to discover the unique natural features of this particular island group. From sea caves and tunnels in the azure seas, to arches and scattered islets - there is no shortage of stunning topography to find, both above and below water.

The swim exploration in amazing blue water at day time and peaceful virgin island to stay and enjoy at afternoons and evenings! The hotel was beautifully located and the staff were so nice and helpful. Thank you for a lovely unforgettably week!!!

Such a unique active holiday, and lovely international group with lots of time to unwind and set your own pace.
Dave, Canada - 2023 -
It’s difficult to adequately describe what a life changing experience this has been. To be greeted each day with stunning vistas above and below the water, to be intensely physically challenged while being supported by such caring and knowledgeable staff, and then to end each day with the most exquisite food and lots of laughter … it was absolutely incredible. If you’re a swimmer, go!
Margot B, Canada - 2022 -
This was an amazing adventure and will be remembered for many years. We were truly looked after by our guides. Thank swim trek for putting together such a great package. Worth every penny.
