Want to enjoy the authentic Greece – the sea, the islands, the food, and its history and culture? And of course the amazing hospitality, integral to any Greek experience? If so, then Sarah and Maro, Greek locals, have curated the perfect sailing experience for you. A catamaran cruise is perfect for exploring the Saronic Gulf, offering unparalleled access to this area, so close to Athens yet with a totally unique character. We chose the Saronic because of the calmer weather patterns and the ability to get away from the hordes of tourists visiting the Cyclades, without sacrificing any of the glory of Greek islands. This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a blend of culture, natural beauty, and access to the real Greece. From ancient temples and bustling markets to car-free streets and charming, preserved architecture, these islands have it all. As you glide over clear turquoise waters, you can easily anchor in secluded coves and pristine beaches. Additionally, the Saronic Gulf’s deep connection to Greek mythology and history, with landmarks such as the Temple of Aphaia and numerous archaeological sites, adds a profound cultural layer to its natural allure. This tour also includes 2 days in Athens to explore the Acropolis and the main sites of this ancient city. Oh, and this is one of our fully customizable trips – we can design it around the needs of your group of up to 10 passengers, on the dates that suit you best! Just let us know!

Overview

This is the sailing trip that put us on the map, and this tour brings visitors back year after year. We have our own private catamaran, which has 4 berths for 8 passengers with their own bathrooms, and space for gathering both inside and out. We’ll be able to sail into small coves and isolated beaches to explore the many sights the Saronic Gulf has to offer.
On day one you’ll meet with the captain and map out your itinerary. You’ll also meet with your hostess/travel guide. She’ll ask about your food and alcohol preferences. Our recommendation: let her pick everything for days of authentic Greek meals. Breakfast will be a hearty healthy spread, and as you sail to the next island, lunch may be a Greek salad with local fish. You can decide where to have dinner at one of the great local tavernas. Your hostess will be happy to arrange such meals ashore. Some of the islands even have an active nightlife if that’s your thing. Every day will be a postcard moment, and you’ll bring back memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Note: Ship cabins are small, and each cabin has the equivalent of a queen bed and a private bath with shower. We are happy to pair you with a potential roommate, but please be aware of the space limitations. And unfortunately we cannot accommodate single room upgrades. There is a possibility for one couple to book a smaller cabin for 2 children – without its own bathroom. Please contact us with questions.
