Lavrio (Athens) - Saronic & Peloponnese Peninsula · 7 Days Yacht Route

Your Greek coastal journey begins at the historic port of Lavrio near Athens. Step aboard in the afternoon, where your captain and professional crew will welcome you with a refreshing drink and a brief safety briefing. Once settled into your cabins, set sail toward the iconic island of Hydra in the Saronic Gulf. We drop anchor in a sheltered bay near the island for your first swim in the crystal-clear Aegean waters. Following your swim, take a short cruise to Hydra Port, a fairytale destination where motor vehicles are entirely prohibited and preserved stone architecture reigns. After a welcome dinner prepared on board, head ashore to explore the island's timeless atmosphere and romantic cobblestone alleyways.

After breakfast on the aft deck, weigh anchor and set sail toward the elegant and aristocratic island of Spetses. Renowned for its 19th-century captain mansions, traditional horse-drawn carriages, and pine-scented coves, Spetses is a true jewel of the Saronic Gulf. Enjoy a swim stop and lunch on board in Zogeria Bay or near the islet of Spetsopoula. In the late afternoon, moor near the Old Harbour (Palaio Limani) to discover stylish boutiques and seaside restaurants.

Today, head southwest toward the shores of the Peloponnese peninsula, setting your course for the magnificent fortress town of Monemvasia. Known as the "Gibraltar of Greece," this medieval town built on a massive plateau rises dramatically from the sea. Enjoy a refreshing swim stop and lunch in a secluded cove along the Lakonian coast en route. Upon arriving in Monemvasia in the afternoon, walk through timeless stone streets and witness an unforgettable sunset over the Aegean Sea.

Depart Monemvasia, round the southern tip of the Peloponnese, and cross over to Elafonisos—an island famed for its powdery white sands and exotic turquoise waters. Anchor in the breathtaking bay of world-famous Simos Beach. Spend your day swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing while your chef prepares a delicious lunch on board. In the evening, enjoy a peaceful dinner under the stars at anchor surrounded by unspoiled natural beauty.

In the morning, weigh anchor from Elafonisos and sail north along the Argolic coast to Porto Heli, a naturally protected harbor town. Famous for its luxurious villas, calm waters, and upscale atmosphere, Porto Heli is a highlight of the Greek Riviera. Stop for a swim in a sheltered bay near Hinitsa or Dokos Island along the way. In the afternoon, anchor in the bay of Porto Heli and enjoy its vibrant promenade and dining scene.

Following breakfast, cross the Saronic Gulf toward Egina, an island celebrated for its pistachio orchards, neoclassical heritage, and the ancient Temple of Aphaia. Your captain will anchor at Moni Islet or Perdika Bay for a swim stop and lunch. Upon reaching Egina Port in the afternoon, stroll through the lively harbor, sample freshly harvested pistachios, and savor authentic seafood at local seaside tavernas.

On the final day of your charter, depart Egina and set sail back toward the Attica Peninsula. Anchor beneath the majestic Temple of Poseidon perched high on the cliffs of Cape Sounion for a memorable final swim stop and lunch served on deck. Take a short afternoon cruise back to your starting point at Lavrio Marina. Complete check-out procedures and bid farewell to your captain and crew with unforgettable memories of your 7-day voyage through the Saronic Gulf and Peloponnese.
