Epidavros on the Argolic Gulf puts a motor yacht within easy reach of some of Greece’s most rewarding sailing territory. The sheltered waters of the Saronic Gulf extend north and west, while the Argolid coast curves around a succession of pine-clad headlands and quiet anchorages that remain uncrowded even in peak season.
The 45 motor yachts available for charter in Epidavros span the full range of the Greek fleet, from 30-metre day-boat speedsters to 80-metre superyachts with helipads and beach clubs. A motor yacht in these waters means Hydra for lunch, Spetses for dinner and Nafplio for an overnight, distances that a sailing yacht might cover in two days.
Weekly rates begin around 50,000 euros for a 30-metre and rise to 600,000 euros for a flagship superyacht, with the APA at 30 percent covering fuel, provisioning and marina charges at the well-run berths in Nafplio and Epidavros. The Argolid is a quieter alternative to the central Cyclades and suits motor yacht charterers who want cultural depth alongside the beach and water toy experience.
The ancient theatre at Epidavros, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a 20-minute taxi from the main anchorage and adds a dimension to the charter week that few other Greek starting points offer.
