A gulet cruise in Greece is a week on a traditional wooden boat with a small group of guests and a crew who sail, cook and look after you. You sleep in a compact cabin, swim straight off the boat, eat Greek food on deck and spend most evenings tied up in a harbor town. Think of it as a floating guesthouse with its own crew.
