Three reasons to join us On a Sailing Holiday
7 Days Sailing Holiday– A week in the Saronic Islands, where we will enjoy turquoise water bays, charming small towns, the delicious flavours of greek cuisine and we will party under the moon on the boat decks or in famous beach bars. Add a spectacular sunset seen from the sea or from the top of an island and you get the picture of a perfect day.
A one week holiday on a yacht means: sea, sun, sailing and a lot of fun at a very affordable price. All yachts can accommodate 8-11 people, in double cabins and have 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.
The Argo-Saronic Islands- Poros, Hydra, Dokos, Spetses, are part of a chain held in southern Saronic Gulf, near Peloponnese Peninsula and Athens . These islands are considered the paradise of south-western Aegean .
Route highlights
• Poros Poros is separated from the mainland by a narrow channel of 350 m width. The romantic atmosphere, narrow streets, taxi boats that connect the mainland with the city of Galata and the seafront teracces where you can watch dozens of yachts moor, may remind you of Venice and its charm.
The town is built in the form of an amphitheater , with traditional large houses and cobblestone streets . At its heart is the promenade with many taverns, shops and terraces , the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and a
gelato delicious.
• Hydra is a small beautiful island, where Elizabeth Taylor and Leonard Cohen bought properties. The streets are narrow and steep , without parking lots. Donkeys are the only means of transport used on the island. No motors on Hydra !
The port is the perfect place to enjoy a coffe or a shopping session in the chic shops where you can often find nice and quality products.
Watching the sunset from the cliffs of Hydra is a must-do and the perfect place for this is Sunset Restaurant, considered by many one of the restaurants with the most beautiful view in the world. See for yourself .
We close the day in a beach bar, located on a high cliff, with an amazing view of the sea, where we cand enjoy some good music and cocktails.
• Dokos Dokos is as beautiful as it is wild, the only sign of civilization being the ruins of a Byzantine castle . In the north-east of the island there is a wide bay, well known for the anchor parties.
We will moor here and have a wild corner of nature just for us. This is the best place for snorkeling, trekking to the top of the island, barbeque fresh fish from the sea and enjoying the a nice dinner on board under the stars.
We tie the boats together in a big "floating deck"
Enjoy yacht hopping , strolling from one boat to another
Dinner, cocktails and the party are on deck
