Saronic Gulf
Sample Itinerary
Departing from: Alimos, Athens
Duration: 7 days
100 nautical miles*
Day 1
Arrival & Check-in, Alimos Marina, Athens
Welcome to Alimos Marina, the largest marina in the Eastern Mediterranean and the ideal starting point for your Greek sailing adventure. If you have time, head into Athens to explore its many historic sites before setting sail. Visit the iconic Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum, and then enjoy dinner in this ancient city. Afterward, return to your yacht at Alimos Marina, ready to embark on your journey the next morning.
Day 2:
Alimos Marina to Aegina
15nm*
Aegina, famous for its beautiful beaches, is often the first and last stop on a Saronic yacht charter due to its close proximity to Athens. The town quay is just a stone's throw from local bars and family-run restaurants, offering a delightful taste of Greek hospitality. Nearby, you can explore the ruins of the Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Aphaia, both well worth a visit.
Day 3
Aegina to Poros
20nm*
Poros is a beautiful island worth exploring, and renting mopeds or quad bikes can be a great way to see the island at your own pace. As you sail towards Poros Town, you'll notice that the island is separated from the Peloponnese peninsula by a narrow channel. Poros is one of the most vibrant destinations on our route, featuring lively bars and restaurants during the summer season. Despite its lively atmosphere, you're never far from quiet and stunning beaches, especially if you hire a quad or moped.
Day 4
Poros to Dhokos Island
15nm*
Dhokos Island is a stunning, uninhabited gem perfect for a sunset hike and a night under the stars. You can enjoy the serenity of the island, perhaps having lunch and a swim in its crystal-clear waters. Alternatively, if you prefer a busier and more vibrant destination, you can stop here for a break and then continue sailing towards the island of Spetses.
Day 5
Dhokos Island to Hydra
10nm*
Hydra is an idyllic Mediterranean town, renowned for its charming restaurants, lively bars, and magnificent views. Famous for having no cars, only donkeys for transportation, Hydra has been a hideout for several famous personalities, including members of the Rolling Stones. The island offers fantastic swimming and snorkeling opportunities in its crystal-clear waters.
Day 6
Hydra to Marathon, Aegina Island
20nm*
Marathon on Aegina Island is a perfect little anchorage. You have the option of swimming or rowing ashore for a fresh seafood dinner at a charming family-run restaurant on the beach. Alternatively, you can dine onboard and savor the sunset on your last night at sea.
Day 7
Return to Athens
20nm*
Enjoy your final day onboard by heading for a swim or snorkel near Perdika.
Afterwards, set sail back to Athens, aiming to arrive around 5 PM. Once docked,
take the opportunity to explore the magnificent city of Athens once more, as it
offers far more to see and do than the marina!
Check-out is at 9 AM on Saturday morning. Depart Greece or embark on your next
adventure.
