Saronic Gulf & the Peloponnese Charter Itinerary

Saronic Gulf & the Peloponnese Itinerary

Saronic Gulf & the Peloponnese Yacht Charter
A week from Athens down to the Byzantine sea-fortress of Monemvasia, pairing the car-free islands of the Saronic Gulf with the wild shores of the Peloponnese. This route runs from classical Greece into a quieter, more ancient landscape of hidden ruins and empty coves. Expect donkey-lined harbours and Venetian towns, clear shallows over sunken history, and a rock-city that ranks among the most extraordinary sights in Greece.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Athens

Step aboard in Athens, birthplace of Western civilisation. Take in the Acropolis and the lanes of Plaka, then board at the marina and sail into the gulf, dropping anchor off the Attic coast for a first swim as the city recedes.

Day 2

Poros

Cruise to Poros, separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow, picturesque channel. Its clock-topped town rises above a cafe-lined waterfront. Anchor in the sheltered water, swim in the clear shallows, and settle into the gulf’s gentle pace.

Day 3

Hydra

Sail to captivating Hydra, its stone mansions climbing above a perfect horseshoe harbour where cars are banned and only donkeys work the lanes. Swim from the rocks, wander the town, and take dinner on the quay.

Spetses

Nafplio

Monemvasia

Sail south to the extraordinary sea-fortress of Monemvasia, a Byzantine town of stone houses hidden on the seaward flank of a vast rock. Wander the medieval lanes, swim in the clear water below, and take in a truly singular place.

Day 7

Epidaurus Coast

For a final day, cruise the quiet coves of the Argolic and Saronic coast near Palaia Epidavros, where ancient ruins lie just beneath the shallows. Snorkel over sunken walls, swim in the clear water, and close the week in peace.
