Magical Sunset was born from a childhood love of Greek mythology and the joy of storytelling.
Our luxury sailing tours through the Greek islands bring ancient myths to life, while combining breathtaking landscapes, hidden temples, and authentic Greek experiences.
It’s not just travels, it’s where imagination and history meet to create something truly magical.
CREATING THE MAGIC
WHY MAGICAL SUNSET
Born from a love of Aegean sunsets, Magical Sunset offers private sailing tours that blend myth, beauty, and cultural discovery.
Every journey is a handcrafted experience, where stories unfold, laughter lingers, and the magic of Greece becomes your own.
MY STORY
Magical Sunset was born from a lifelong love of Greek mythology and two decades of sailing through ancient landscapes.
What began as a family tradition became a personal Odyssey—sharing stories, sunsets, and soul-stirring adventures.
Our private yacht charters offer more than travel. They invite you to experience sailing Greece through myth, beauty, and heart.
CREATING THE MAGIC
As children, we’re drawn to enchanting fairy tales—stories that ignite our imagination and transport us to magical worlds. For some, it’s Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. But for me, it was Greek mythology. Every night, I sailed through legends of gods, nymphs, heroes, and mythical beasts. While others dreamt of castles, I imagined Aphrodite, Psyche, and Hercules, battling monsters and chasing love.
By day, I re-enacted these ancient myths, embedding their wonder deep within me.
​
That childhood wonder never left. And so, Magical Sunset was born. Not just from nostalgia, but from a desire to bring others into the living stories of Greece.
​
With a passion for mythology and a love of sailing, Magical Sunset was created to guide travellers through Greece’s most storied landscapes. Our luxury sailing experiences invite you to step into the myths yourself—sailing the Greek islands, discovering hidden coves, ancient temples, and timeless stories that still echo across the seas.
​
Magical Sunset isn’t just a yacht charter company, it’s a journey into the soul of Greece, told through its landscapes, flavours, and legends.
But our journeys go beyond the stories. Through deep personal ties with local businesses, each tour is infused with an authentic Greek experience. Expect to taste Greece at its best—traditional dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients, enjoyed in hidden tavernas or vineyards most travellers never find. Whether it's a home-cooked meal by our dedicated hostess or a wine tasting at a family-run estate, these moments create the kind of memories that linger long after the sails are folded.
Whether you join us for a week-long escape like The Aegean Dream or a tailored private sailing tour, you’ll find yourself caught between the beauty of the present and the wonder of the past.
Discover the Greek islands not just as destinations, but as living chapters in the world’s greatest epic.
This isn’t a tour. This is your own myth in the making.
Why Magical Sunset
Every year, as we gathered with friends and family under the enchanting Greek skies, we found ourselves in the perfect positions to witness the breathtaking beauty of a magical sunset over the Aegean Sea.
What began as a love for these moments has become our mission: to share the wonder of Greece through private sailing tours, where every sunset becomes part of your story. Whether captured in a photo, a shared laugh, or a dive into crystal waters, our tours blend adventure, cultural discovery, and the soul-stirring landscapes of the Greek islands.
MY STORY
My love for Greek mythology was born not in a classroom, but in the mountains and olive groves of Greece. Though I migrated to Australia as a baby, I began my early childhood school years back in Greece, living with my grandparents. It was there, surrounded by ancient stories and wild landscapes, that the myths of gods and heroes became part of my everyday world.
Even after settling in Melbourne, those myths stayed with me, alive in my imagination. As a child, I didn’t just read about Odysseus, Athena, or Achilles, I felt them. These weren’t just tales of the past, they were alive with meaning, mischief, beauty, and heartbreak.
In 1998, I returned to Greece with my husband and two young children and embarked on a sailing trip around Crete. One evening, anchored off Elafonissi beach, surrounded by silence and stars I told my children the story of baby Zeus hidden in a cave on that very island. As I spoke, the myths resurfaced with fresh intensity. They weren't just stories, they were places with real landscapes, and we were living the story!
That night changed everything.
​
That was the beginning of a new tradition: returning every summer to explore Greece through its myths-sailing Greece from island to island, visiting ancient temples, chasing sunsets, and storytelling under the stars.
​
On one such journey, we reached Ithaca, the home of Odysseus. Rather than plunge into the turquoise waters, we set off in search of Homer’s school and the route Odysseus may have once taken. It was a typical hot July day, but the thrill of discovery guided us. And then, we found it. The remains of the school stood quietly, untouched by time yet sadly forgotten. We wandered further, following clues from myth, and came upon a clay model in the town square, mapping the landscape of Odysseus’ world. In that moment, something shifted.
​
The thread of storytelling I had followed for years now wrapped itself around me. This wasn’t just travel. It was becoming my own personal Odyssey.
​
And so, each summer brought new myths and deeper meaning. On Kos, we stood where Hippocrates once taught. On Samos, we wandered in the footsteps of Pythagoras. Every myth sparked a new destination, and every destination deepened the myth.​
Friends and family soon joined in. Some came for the rare, sought-after sailing experiences, others for the personal guidance and authentic cultural immersion. Our travels were filled with laughter, discovery, and those heart-stirring sunsets that later inspired our name.
In 2018, after more than 20 years of myth-inspired travel with friends and family, and with their encouragement to share these journeys with others, —Magical Sunset was born.
My premise was to introduce Greece the way I know it—through its stories, its people, its magic.
I wanted travellers to fall in love with it beyond their imagination.
