Classic yacht charter at Epidavros brings together one of Greece’s most historically layered anchorages with the unhurried, aesthetically driven experience that timber vessels provide. The ancient theatre visible from the bay, the pine-covered hills and the quiet character of the Argolid shoreline all suit a classic yacht’s pace and visual language in a way that busier charter ports cannot.
The fleet of classic yachts available for charter in Epidavros spans wooden ketches, schooners and motor sailors in the 20 to 40-metre range, each maintained to the standard that classic charter guests expect. Weekly rates begin around 15,000 euros for a smaller vessel and reach 80,000 euros for a well-restored example with experienced professional crew.
The APA at 30 percent covers fuel, provisions and marina charges, with many classic itineraries preferring to anchor rather than berth in order to preserve the experience of arriving in a bay rather than a port. Epidavros suits this approach well, with dozens of quiet anchorages within a day’s sail that see little commercial traffic.
For those who value the patina of an older vessel as much as the destination, Epidavros and the surrounding Argolid coastline offer a circuit that repays a slow, deliberate pace.
