Islands you will fall in love with!

The Saronic Archipelago is the prime yachting area in Greece and is not far from Athens and its port, Piraeus. This group of Greek islands is composed of Angistri, Aegina, Methana, Poros, Salamina, Spetses and Hydra – all of which have a lot to offer visitors: natural beauty, clean sandy beaches and small deserted islets to explore.

During the Greek event you will experience a great mixture of sailing and partying in a picturesque environment with great company from all over the world. There are normally 15-25 yachts on each event making the group size perfect for this fantastic part of Greece. The Saronic islands are far away from the main tourist spots and offers a Greece you won’t find at many other places in the whole Aegean Sea.

All of the yachts used at the Greek Event are rented from our most reputable yachting partner, Navigare Yachting, who we have been working with since 2006. The yachting company is Swedish owned and will be in no way affected by the recent Greek financial troubles.

According to our appraisal forms the event in Greece is our most popular scoring an average rating of 4.47 our of 5! You will love it!

The route

Route

Day 1 – (SATURDAY) Arrival Day

Your yacht will be waiting for you at Lavario Marina, located south of Athens, less than an hour drive from the airport. Upon your arrival you and your friends will check in, get your boat and get ready to sail. We recommend that you come to the marina earlier in the afternoon if you want to leave Lavario on the first day. If you arrive after 5pm you might have to stay the night in the marina if it is too dark and/or windy. If you think you can’t make it before 5pm don’t worry, Lavario offers great bars, night clubs and restaurants where you can enjoy your first evening.

For those who will be ready to leave early we recommend that you set sail for one of the natural bays on the west side of the peninsula. There are a few different possibilities of how you can spend your time when the sun goes down, again depending on wind and weather. We will give you all needed information upon your arrival.

Day 2 (Sunday) – Poros

Poros harbour is well sheltered between two islands. This is the largest port on the route. The town is magnificent and offers very good night life as well as shopping and culture. Mega yachts, sailing yachts and fishermen fill up the beautiful port and create a lively and fun atmosphere! In the evening everyone moves to a bar/night club together.

Day 3 (Monday) – Dhokos

In this natural bay you can anchor up and enjoy romantic music and late night swimming. All the yachts will be lined up next to each other. Dinner on board followed with socialising and having lots of fun. The crystal clear water and moon light offers great night swimming.

Day 4 (Tuesday) – Plaka

The small port of Plaka is located on the Peloponnesus Peninsula. The town has a few cozy restaurants and a very nice night club. Don’t miss this evening! We promise unique Greek dining for you and your crew. The night club in town will be the place to dance and drink until sunrise.

Day 5 (Wednesday) – Spetses

The island of Spetses comes high recommended and is a very exclusive and charming resort frequently visited by Athenians. It has a small port and a nice town filled with boutiques and bars. Spetses has several high class restaurants where you can enjoy some classic Greek food. Please note that the harbour is very small, so if you go here, you must arrive early to find a spot in the marina.

Day 6 (Thursday) – Hydra

Heads up for one of the most magnificent islands in Greece! Hydra is the definition of tranquility and relaxation. Situated on a steep mountain slope in a sheltered bay; a walk up the winding roads of the town is guaranteed to offer a magnificent view. In the evening we will organise a dinner at the Sunset restaurant followed by a party at Omilos Bar/Club. Hydra has since long been a hideout for famous personalities such as the Rolling Stones, Leonard Cohen and the Onassis Family – you will soon understand why! The harbour is quite small, so make sure to be there on time – as usual .
