Saronic Gulf

The Saronic Gulf Islands are the most accessible islands destination with a sailing boat from Athens. They differ much from the Greek mainland and are the ideal choice for a few days vacations.

You can start your sailing trip with a sailing boat from the Alimos marina and visit Aigina, Spetses, Hydra and Poros islands with two more stops in Ermioni and Epidavros, located in the adjacent Peloponnese coast.

Saronic & Eastern Peloponnese

The beautiful cluster of the islands at the Argosaronic bay, that is Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Salamina and several islets, is situated within a stone's throw from Athens. Those islands compose a beautiful picture of wooded anchorage along the Peloponnesian coastline easily reached with a sailing boat. Furthermore they mark the borders between the Southwest part of the Peloponnesian bay and the Northwest Saronic.

Aegina

Aegina is considered an interesting destination, not only for its beautiful beaches and monasteries, but for its significant archaeological monuments as well, such as the temple of Aphea Athena and the sanctuary of Apollo. Poros, situated opposite of Galatas, on the east coastline of Argolida, was considered the island of Poseidon according to ancient Greeks. Nowadays, it is renowned for its lush vegetation.

Hydra

Hydra is an appealing place not only for thousands of tourists but for the international stardom as well, thanks to the combination of its manor houses with cosmopolitan atmosphere and its distinct local color. Many artists own country houses or even permanent residences on the island of Hydra. Spetses is the Southeast point of the Argosaronic, situated opposite the picturesque Porto-Heli, in the middle of the homonymous bay. The islanders played a major role in the Modern naval history of Greece. Their bravery is still sensed through the architecture of the picturesque old port and the villas of families renowned for their active participation in the Greek Revolution against the Turkish yoke.

Northern & Middle Cyclades

Kea is the most westerly of the larger Cyclades, laying some 12 nm southeast of Cape Sounion. In a distance of 41 NM you will find the hilly island of Syros or Siros half-way between Kythnos and Mykonos. Its central situation makes it the principal centre of administration, commerce and fisheries in the Cyclades. Both Ermoupolis and Finikas form (just like Paroikia on Paros) practical charter bases in the middle of the Cyclades.

Paros

The central island of Paros, is occupied by a range of hills of gently rounded contours. Three bays cut deep inland - in the west the sheltered Paroikia Bay, with the island's capital and serves as a yacht charter base - in the north the bay which shelters the little town of Naoussa and in the east the flat Marmara bay. The island Serifos, north-west of Sifnos, is a bare and rocky island, its hills slashed by gorges; its highest point is Mount Tourlos with 483 m. The ore is shipped from Koutalas on the south coast. In the season especially Livadi is much frequented by charter yachts; the Chora, towering above Livadi bay, makes this one of the most stunning approaches.

Kythnos

The island of Kythnos lies south-east of Kea and is a rocky and barren island of karstic limestone, that is usually covered in an abundance of colourful flowers in the spring. The coast is much indented - with many beautiful anchorages and ports for a sailing boat- and for the most part falls steeply down to the sea. The inhabitants live by farming and fishing. In antiquity iron was mined on the island.

Cyclades Islands. The Cyclades Islands, located in the central and southern part of the Aegean Sea, are undoubtedly the most famous and visited islands of all the Greek destinations, with a sailing boat.
