Welcome to Greece. You’ll be met at the airport and take the 30-minute
journey to the Alimos Marina. Here, you’ll meet your group, crew and
skipper for a briefing aboard a sailing yacht and your home at sea for the
next week.At around 4 pm, it’s anchors aweigh as you set sail for Methana,
crossing the Saronic Gulf. By 8 pm, you’ll be anchored at its volcanic
peninsula, and join your group for an optional welcome dinner at a seafront
restaurant.
Day 2 : Set Sail To Poros
Meals Included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
After breakfast on board, you’ll have the chance to stretch your legs on a
four-hour hike up Methana Volcano. The trail rises through pine forest,
eventually leading to the precipice of the volcano’s crater.Later you’ll
set sail to Poros, less than an hour away. Separated from the Peloponnese by
a narrow sea channel, this romantic harbour town is lined with
pastel-coloured houses overlooked by the Clock Tower.You’ll spend the
afternoon anchored in the bay, having lunch on board and swimming and diving
from the deck. There’s the option for water skiing and other watersports on
Poros Island too.Tonight, you’ll venture into town for dinner at one of
Poros’ seafront restaurants.
Day 3 : Navigate South For E-Biking On Spetses
Meals Included: breakfast
After not-your-average-Monday breakfast, you’ll sail to Spetses, around
four hours away and the most southerly of all the Saronic Islands. The town,
enclosed by undulating hills and scented pine forests, is a lively spot
steeped in naval history.There’s time for lunch before picking up e-bikes
for an island tour, visiting the shimmering coves and immaculate beaches. The
four-hour ride around the island will fly by, and before you know it,
you’ll be back in the town.
Day 4 : Eastward To Hydra For Hiking
Meals Included: breakfast
This morning you’ll sail to sun-soaked Hydra, a highlight of the Saronic
islands thanks to its horseshoe port, cobbled lanes, clear waters and sublime
architecture. There are no cars, scooters or even bikes on Hydra, giving it a
quixotic feel. With no wheels to transport you, you’ll motor under your
own power, hiking for a few hours to the top of Eros Peak. Your efforts will
be rewarded with spectacular views across the sea and a refreshing swim at
Vlichos Beach.Instead of hiking, you can opt to scuba dive off Hydra Island,
at your own cost.Tonight is yours to explore the town.
Day 5 : Depart For Aegina
Meals Included: breakfast, lunch
Parting with gorgeous Hydra is never easy, but today you’re bound for
Aegina Island, stopping at the uninhabited Moni en route. Here you’ll swim
and snorkel and have a spot of lunch before continuing to Perdica, a fishing
town on Aegina.Here there’s an optional visit to the Temple of Aphaea.
It’s an ancient archaeological site that forms an equilateral triangle with
the Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. Otherwise, you can spend
some time in the port, admiring neoclassical buildings and floating markets
and sampling the local pistachios from the harbour-front kiosks.
Day 6 : Taste Olive Oil On The Argolis Peninsula
Meals Included: breakfast
Today you’ll set sail from Perdica bound for the aquamarine shores of Old
Epidaurus on the Argolis peninsula. You’ll visit the ancient Epidaurus
archaeological site, home of the god of medicine, Asclepius. There’s a
well-preserved amphitheatre (with impressive acoustics) to admire before you
visit an olive oil farm to learn about the oil-making process and taste the
produce.Later, you’ll return to the port for a seaside walk towards the
Sunken City.
Day 7 : Swim And Snorkel Around Agkistri Island
Meals Included: breakfast
After breakfast on board, you’ll head inland to Agkistri Island. Today the
choice is yours – you can spend time kayaking around the island or spend
your last full day swimming and snorkelling from the boat. Or maybe just
soaking up the warmth of the sun on the deck, in a blissfully relaxing way to
finish your week.
