Typical Sailing Itineraries from Athens

The sailing itineraries below represent typical routes sailed by yachts in the Aegean. While each yacht charter is different depending on the yacht, crew, guests and weather conditions, these are popular routes that we often recommend to our clients.

 

The Saronic Gulf

The Saronic Gulf sailing area is a favorite among many yacht owners and charter passengers who visit Greece every summer. The islands of the Saronic Gulf, and the jagged rocky coastline of the Peloponnese offer some of the most beautiful sailings in all of Greece. The island of Aegina, as well as Spetses, are top destinations for day-sailors or those looking for an easy getaway on a private yacht charter Athens. The blue waters of the gulf will take your breath away.
The Saronic Gulf islands of Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses and the Peloponnesian coast offer smooth sailing largely sheltered from strong winds. The Saronic route, centered around the gulf, is highly recommended for easy sailing, especially in July & August, when the strong northern Meltemi winds are blowing down in the Cyclades area. It is also preferable for a charter of less than two weeks due to the relatively short sailing times between destinations.
