Events schedule

  • Day 1 (09/28, Saturday)

    We will begin and end our route in Athens - the cradle of ancient Greek civilization. We sincerely recommend laying a day on this city before or after the main route.

    We meet in marina Alimos on a yacht in the afternoon. We get acquainted, check in, buy products. And, if everyone arrives not too late, we immediately move towards Poros or Aegina.

  • Going to Poros.

    The capital of the island, located in the strait, will not leave anyone indifferent. To study Poros, we recommend taking ATVs. In the center, the ruins of the temple of Poseidon, which was considered the patron saint of the island, are preserved. Here is also the famous unusually beautiful Lemon forest with a waterfall, famous throughout Greece. We will also visit the Zoodohos Pigi Monastery. In addition to historical attractions, the island is rich in beautiful bays and beaches.

  • Going to Hydra. Hydra Harbor is one of the most picturesque in the area. The island’s landscapes attract filmmakers - it was chosen by many famous directors for filming. Here you can feel the atmosphere of real Greece, and from transport on Hydra - only mules and a water taxi. Around the port of the capital are bastions with guns, which were used to protect the city from attacks by the Turkish fleet. Those who want to warm up can visit the monastery of Elijah the Prophet, built in the 19th century on the site of an abandoned chapel. It is also worth visiting there for the magnificent views that open from a height of 500 m.

  • Go to Spetses, the island of aromas. It was named Isola di Spezzie, which means “fragrant island”, because is home to many fragrant herbs and plants. Here we will find many clean and lush green pine beaches.

  • Go to the island of Dokos. This day we will devote to honing sailing skills and swimming. We spend the night anchored in the wild bay, under the bright stars in complete silence.

  • A long transition to the island of Aegina. The embankment of the capital is incomparable, on it you can find a number of cozy taverns, restaurants and bars. The island is famous for many churches and monasteries. On the top of the hill near the town of Ayia Marina on the island is the ancient Doric temple of Afaya, which was erected at the beginning of the 5th century BC.

  • We continue to explore the island. In the afternoon we return to Alimos marina in Athens. The final dinner.

  • We say goodbye and leave the boat before 11:00.
