Ancient Portals of the Aegean
SAILING HØME:SECOND EDITION
Every year, we open up one very special and subsidized HØME experience to our friends, family, and frequent travelers — an opportunity to voyage together, explore somewhere extraordinary, and continue our ongoing experiment in what it means to feel at Home in the world.
October 16 – 23, 2026 | Greece
Sailing HØME · Second Edition
For us, Home starts with the people we surround ourselves with.
This year, we’re taking over a private mega-yacht for just 70 people and setting sail through the Greek Islands during our favorite time of year.
October is magic in the Aegean. The summer crowds have disappeared, the days are still warm, the sea is crystal clear and inviting, and the islands begin to feel like they belong to themselves again.
We’ll have the freedom to swim, explore, wander, dance, feast, and make a little mischief — with some of the most breathtaking island landscapes in the world as our backdrop.
We’re incredibly grateful to Gaia, whose partnership helped us bring this voyage to life, and especially excited by the remarkable minds, storytellers, explorers, and teachers who will be joining us along the way — some of whom have spent their lives exploring ancient wisdom, human potential, consciousness, sacred histories sometimes forgotten, and often a few ideas about Home that extend far beyond this world.
Together, we’ll journey through the sacred islands of the Aegean — places shaped by ancient civilizations, mythology, mystery schools, temples, gods, oracles, and stories that have endured for thousands of years.
But as always with HØME, the destination is only part of the adventure.

Variety Voyager
Set sail on the sophisticated Variety Voyager for an eight-day exploration of the Greek Isles, where history and personal discovery meet.
Join this Gaia-guested voyage to experience the “Jewels of the Cyclades” on a state-of-the-art mega-yacht designed for an intimate and immersive exploration complete with 360° views, a mini-spa for rejuvenation, and glass-enclosed dining that keeps you connected to the sea at every moment.
From the volcanic depths of Santorini to the sacred silence of Delos, this journey is crafted to help you recalibrate your frequency, access inner clarity, and explore the hidden lineages of the Mediterranean. Between sessions, enjoy al fresco dining under the stars, swim stops in translucent blue coves accessible only by yacht, and the refined comfort of a vessel built for discovery.

Itinerary
Itinerary
Lavrio · Cape SounionEmbarkation in Lavrio & Gateway to Sounion
Arrive at the exclusive port of Lavrio, not far from the Athens International Airport, between 14:00–17:00, where you will board your luxury expedition yacht, the Variety Voyager. Step into an intimate world of refined travel as you are welcomed aboard and begin your journey across the Aegean.
As the yacht sets sail along the Attica coastline, the land gradually dissolves into sea and light. By early evening, we reach Cape Sounion, anchoring beneath the dramatic cliffs crowned by the Temple of Poseidon—one of Greece’s most iconic and sacred horizons.
From the sundeck, we witness sunset over this ancient gateway between worlds, marking the official opening of our voyage. Dinner is served at anchor as we enter the living rhythm of the Aegean.
IkariaIkaria Waters: The Frequency of Longevity
We begin the day with a swim stop at Seychelles Beach, Ikaria (08:00–13:00), known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and secluded beauty.
In the afternoon, we arrive at Agios Kirykos (14:00–23:45), entering one of the world’s legendary Blue Zones. Ikaria is not simply a destination—it is a state of being, where time dissolves into rhythm, simplicity, and embodied presence.
Explore thermal springs, mountain villages, or simply attune to the island’s slow intelligence before returning to the vessel for a quiet evening at port.
Ios · SantoriniHidden Waters of Ios & Arrival into the Santorini Caldera
We begin with a morning immersion at Tris Klisies (07:30–12:00), a secluded bay where limestone cliffs meet crystalline silence.
By afternoon, we enter the sacred caldera of Santorini (13:30–20:30)—a volcanic amphitheater shaped by fire, myth, and memory. En route we will enjoy an immersive exploration of Atlantis, its connection to Santorini, and its influence on ancient Greece and Egypt.
Here, guests may explore the cliffside villages of Fira and Oia or visit the ancient ruins of Akrotiri. As the sun descends into the crater, we gather for a GAIA workshop on the “Fire of the Earth,” exploring the consciousness encoded within this volcanic landscape.
NaxosNaxos: Marble Temples & Inner Grounding
We arrive overnight into Naxos (00:30), the fertile heart of the Cyclades and a natural point of grounding within the journey.
Naxos offers a softer frequency—marble villages, mountain air, and ancient pathways woven through time. Explore the Venetian Kastro or journey inland to Apeiranthos, where Cycladic tradition remains intact in stone and spirit.
The island invites restoration, integration, and embodied presence.
Delos · MykonosDelos & Mykonos: From Sacred Silence to Luminous Expression
We sail early toward Delos (09:00–12:30), one of the most powerful energetic sites in the Aegean. As the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, Delos offers a rare encounter with stillness, archetypal memory, and solar alignment.
Gather for a ceremonial Activation at the Terrace of the Lions, inspired by Apollo’s qualities of light, truth, healing, and prophecy, inviting reflection on what truth is ready to emerge.
Then explore Little Venice, the windmills, or the luminous labyrinth of whitewashed streets as Delos’ silence continues to echo within. In the afternoon, we transition to Mykonos (arrival 14:00), where we remain docked overnight. Here, the energy shifts into expression, beauty, and movement. Plenty of options to dance until sunrise as well.
Mykonos · SyrosMykonos, Hidden Waters & Arrival in Syros
The morning is open in Mykonos until 13:00—time for integration, rest, or a final swim in the Aegean light.
We then pause at Gaidaros Island (15:00–17:30), a hidden swimming sanctuary suspended between sea and sky.
By evening, we arrive at Syros (18:00), the elegant capital of the Cyclades. Neoclassical architecture and refined stillness offer a grounded return to balance after Mykonos’ luminous expansion. We remain docked overnight.
Syros · LavrioSyros & Return through the Aegean Gate
The morning unfolds in Syros until 16:00, allowing time to wander its elegant streets, absorb its quiet sophistication, and enter a gentle state of integration and rest.
Join us for a GAIA-led Scorpio Gate Activation — aligned with Scorpio season, focused on release, transformation, and rebirth as travelers step into their next chapter.
In the evening, we begin our return passage toward the mainland, arriving at Lavrio around 22:00. As the Aegean darkens, the journey turns inward—becoming a space of integration, reflection, and closure of the energetic cycle.
LavrioReturn to Lavrio & Disembarkation
Final breakfast and farewells. Flights may be booked onwards from the Athens International Airport anytime this day.
Disembarkation formally takes place at 09:00, marking the completion of the voyage. Step ashore carrying the resonance of the Aegean field—its ancient geometries, its elemental intelligence, and the shared energetic imprint of the journey.
Optional Excursions
On each island, it will be possible to walk off the ship and explore the islands at leisure, as well as join some planned group experiences. Additional optional guided excursions will be available at select destinations throughout the voyage and are expected to cost approximately $100 USD per excursion. These experiences may include cultural, archaeological, and historical tours led by local guides.
Travelers are also free to explore each destination independently, including beaches, historic sites, restaurants, and local villages. Prior to each stop, we'll provide recommendations for both guided excursions and self-guided exploration options.
