Verified The cruise has met our standards

Cruise on the Saronic islands departing from Port Heli and landing at Lavrio which is approximately 45 minutes from Athens International Airport.

The islands that we will visit (Spetze, Hydra, Poros, Aegina, Cape Sunion) are very characteristic both for the landscapes and for the typical villages.

We will spend a few nights in the characteristic Greek taverns to taste the typical dishes. There will be night stops in desert shaves to admire the starry sky in all its beauty.

Navigation always takes place close to the coast and the cruise is also suitable for those with no experience.

Meals will be cooked by the onboard staff, with healthy and high-quality dishes.

    We'll circumnavigate the island of Spetse, stopping for lunch in a remote bay of the south-western coast.

    In the afternoon we'll transfer to the main port of Spetse island: its name derives from the italian "spezie" (or spices), given by the Venetians, when it used to be an important stop along the spice route.

    Nowadays the main characteristic of the village is that private car traffic is not allowed, so you can only travel by foot, by horse carriage or by bike.

    From Spetse to Ydra

    An easy sailing will bring us to the deep bay at the center of the island of Dhokos, where we'll stop for lunch.

    In the afternoon we'll reach the small port of Ydra. In Ydra vehicles are not allowed to transit, so the only way to travel is by foot of with the help of donkeys. Its main attraction are the beautiful village center's houses, built in the 1800s when the island was home to a very rich community of shipowners. 
    Nowadays it's the favourite holiday place of Athenian intellectuals, whom built many houses in the higher part of the city.
