Yachting in Greece. The Saronic and Argolic Gulf

After a delicious breakfast on board, we head to our first stop — Aegina Island. This is the birthplace of the goddess Aphaia. Her temple, over 2,500 years old, still towers above the island. Along the way we'll stop for lunch on a tiny picturesque islet. We spend the night on Aegina.

The next stop — the charming island of Poros. From above it resembles a daisy, with yachts as its petals — so popular is it among sailors. Poros, birthplace of Poseidon, is split by a channel into two parts: one built-up, the other — wild forests and nature. We'll visit the famous lemon grove and Neorio beaches with pine trees and the remains of a sunken ancient city.

The journey continues to the resort town of Porto Heli. Along the way we'll swim in a cove by a monastery, and in the evening the waterfront restaurants and one of the most fashionable nightclubs in Greece await us.

Today we visit the most famous island of the Saronic archipelago — Hydra. A favourite retreat of world celebrities, including Sophia Loren. The town is built amphitheatre-style around the marina. A stop is also planned at Molos beach — hard to reach on foot, but simple by yacht!

Day six is ideal for relaxation. Methana Island is famous for its thermal springs and spa resorts. All thanks to the volcano that gave the island its healing geothermal waters. One of the best places to restore your energy during a yacht journey.

We return to Athens — the mythical capital where our sea adventure began. Along the way there's still a stop at an uninhabited island for a swim and lunch in the marina. If time allows — we'll visit the Acropolis and see the Parthenon.

Breakfast, farewell to the captain and yacht. You return home with new friends, a tan, memories and yachting skills. A holiday you'll want to repeat.
