Athens & Saronic Islands
The doors to paradise are open for you! The Saronic Islands offer an incredible variety of places to explore, from beaches with golden sand and caves rich in history to bays with turquoise waters and Blue Flag-certified beaches. Each island has a unique story and hides spectacular places that delight the senses, from music and food to ancient traditions and maritime tales. Poros is a fascinating island with architecture that blends neoclassical style with traditional Greek, where taverns, cafes, and shops welcome guests with wide-open doors. We will arrive in Aegina, the island where Kazantzakis wrote his most famous novel, Zorba the Greek. Known as the “pistachio island,” it opens up to us with beautiful pistachio orchards and culinary delights that celebrate them. Hydra, the capital of the Saronic Islands, teleports you to an unchanged past, with donkeys carrying marine treasures. We will visit them one by one!
Sailing on a catamaran in Greece
A typical day on the yacht begins with idyllic landscapes in front of an aromatic coffee and a hearty breakfast, rich in Mediterranean delicacies.
