The Saronic Islands are the most accessible charter destination in Greece, a tight circuit of four main islands spread across the protected gulf south of Athens with short passages between them and reliable summer conditions throughout. At 50,000 euros per week, charters in the Saronic focus on sailing yachts and gulets in the 18 to 24 metre range that offer genuine value for small groups seeking the classic Greek island experience close to an international airport. Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses each have a distinct identity and together provide enough variety to fill a week of cruising without backtracking. Most yachts in this bracket sleep four to six guests across two or three cabins with a crew of two or three. Provisioning across the Saronic is reliable and the islands each have a waterfront market or bakery. All-in weekly costs including the advance provisioning allowance typically land between 57,000 and 67,000 euros. The Saronic circuit is ideal for first-time charterers given its manageable scale and the ease with which crews can adjust the itinerary to suit the group.
