Saronic Islands

Board your yacht in Athens to begin your one week cruise through the Saronic and Peloponnese Islands. Dock at Poro’s Town, one of the world’s mooring spaces for the largest luxury yachts. Dive into the emerald waters for a morning of paddleboarding followed lunch on board before setting off for a crew-led hike into the famous lemon tree forest.

Welcome to Dokos, a calm islet and formally an important island that played a crucial role in communication between the West, Constantinople, and others during the Byzantine period. Hike up to visit the ruins of the castle sitting atop the island’s highest peak as you admire its unspoiled landscape. As night falls, cruise over to Spetses.

Tender ashore to explore one of the chicest islands in Greece with its cobblestone streets and the two-storey houses with wooden balconies and colourful walls where no cars are allowed, before cruising to Porto Heli, the harbor of choice for Greece’s yachting elite. Detox at the local Aman Resort before ending your day at Nikki Beach.

Wake up to breakfast onboard as you sail into the Peloponnese region. Drop anchor in Nafplion, the former capital of Greece and home to the country’s most handsome ports. Tender ashore to visit this 7,000 year old town that once rivalled Sparta. Visit its forts and museums before ending your day with a chef-prepared meal onboard.

Early morning cruise to Monemvasia, a magical medieval town built at the foot of a massive rock that will make you travel to the past. Tender ashore to stroll down its narrow, cobbled streets and winding stairways and visit the fortress lying atop the rock with breathtaking views of the sea below.

After breakfast, depart back towards the Saronic Islands and drop anchor at Hydra, a picturesque little town with small cobbled streets and houses designed by Genoan and Venetian architects. End your day at Téchnē, an authentic culinary paradise in the middle of the Saronic Gulf with stunning views of the bay.

As you begin your cruise back to Athens, step ashore Aegina, one of man’s first colonised islands and home to the temple of Athena Aphaia. Spend the day exploring this ancient gem surrounded by translucent waters. Visit its museums, monasteries and temples, before disembarking in Athens to dine at Varoulko Seaside
