Tour Highlights
Join a smaller group for shorter island-hopping swims around some of the most scenic islands in the Mediterranean
Stay off the beaten track, with quaint accommodation on the undiscovered island of Schinoussa
Explore tunnels, arches, caves and dramatic underwater topography as we complete breathtaking Aegean swims
Savour the friendly local atmosphere and walk narrow streets in the small island village of Schinoussa
Discover the stunning beauty of the Greek Islands on this short swims holiday in and around the islands which make up the Cyclades. This adventure is based on the original SwimTrek trip which has been running since 2003, however, the shorter daily swim distances are designed for those who are relatively new to open water swimming holidays or simply enjoy a little more time out of the water.
From our base of Schinoussa in the heart of the archipelago, we have the opportunity to island-hop around the Cyclades, discovering their isolated beaches and breathtaking coastlines, as well as enjoying several crossings. Our beautifully remote Greek adventure will consist of exploring the unspoilt islands of Schinoussa, Fidousa, Iraklia, Kato Koufonisi and Keros.
With a combination of short crossings between islands and beautiful coastal swims, you’ll have the chance to explore the diverse scenery which exists in this unique island group. From sea caves and tunnels, to arches and islets, there is no shortage of beautiful topography and landscapes to explore, above and below the water.
Who is this trip for?
This trip is designed for the swimmer that is looking for a combination of both island-hopping and coastal swims.
Swimmers should also have a basic understanding of open water swimming and be capable of completing the average swim distance of around 2 km prior to the start of the trip. The average daily swim distance is around 3km (split over a minimum of two swims).
We have given this trip a ‘Leisurely’ grading designed for people who want to swim at a more relaxed pace and enjoy the scenery.

This trip is one of the best. The swimming and locations are amazing. I never thought I'd do the same trip twice but I'll make an exception for this one!

The scenery above and below the water was simply stunning. With the guides help I have grown in confidence and ability. I’m looking forward to holidaying with SwimTrek again in the future.
