Sailing the Greek Islands ⛵

We meet in the ancient city of Athens, depending on your arrival you can join me for a quick walking tour. We will have some drinks in the afternoon at my favorite spot. Later that night we meet for an introductory dinner and we travel together the next day to the port of Alimmos.

TWO POSSIBLE ROUTES Cyclades We start with KEA which is a sum of Cycladic hill villages, and white houses all resulting in a relaxing atmosphere that will welcome you to the first stop in the Cyclades. Syros is a perfect second stop where the Greek tradition blends with western civilization. The third stop is Paros which is amongst the most popular Greek islands, famous for its white marble beaches and its combination of Cycladic architecture and golden sun beaches. Mykonos and Kythnos will follow where we will have the chance to swim in Kolona bay one of the most interesting natural sea bay in Greece. Saronic gulf This route's a more relaxed sailing experience, we will need to travel shorter distances from one island to the other so if the seas are very rough we can find alternatives. This route is more likely to have less wind than the Cyclades. This would allow new sailors to be more familiar with sailing (if they are sailing for the first time) and to be introduced more calmly on a sailing trip. We will visit very beautiful places, reserved stone houses, exquisite sites (Spetses Island), secluded beaches (Dhokos bay), turquoise water coves (Ermioni), unique hiking trails (in Hydra island), booming cuisine (Poros has perfect fish), exclusive archaeological masterpieces (the ancient theater of Palaia Epidavros), as well as Aegina or Methana. The professional skipper will not only take us to these places but will suggest non-touristic taverns, with local recipes and state-of-the-art combinations of tastes.
