Verified The cruise has met our standards

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

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

We will spend a few evenings 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 splendor.

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

The onboard staff will take care of the cooking, with healthy and high quality meals.

    We will sail in the morning to reach Palaia Epidaurus.

    We'll moor in the marina and then in the afternoon we will visit the splendid theater of Epidaurus. It is the best preserved Greek theater and has acoustics hard to describe: you can hear a coin dropped in the center of the stage perfectly  up to the highest stands at a hundred meters of distance.

    From Poros to Hydra

    We leave Poros directed to a beautiful little bay sheltered by 3 small islands at the eastern tip of the Peloponnese, where we will stop for lunch. In the afternoon transfer to the port of Hydra.

    In Hydra vehicles are not permitted so the only way to move around is by walking or by the help of donkeys. Its main attraction consists in the beautiful houses of its center, built in the 1800s when the island was home to a rich community of shipowners. Today it is the favorite destination of the Athenian intellectuals who bought many houses located in the upper part of the town.

  6. From Hydra to Spetse

    From Hydra to Spetse

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

    In the afternoon we'll move to the main port of the island of Spetse: its name derives from "spezie" (spices), given by the Venetians for whom it was a fundamental stop on the spice route. Today the main feature of the town is in the fact that private car traffic is not allowed, so in order to move, you must either walk, use horse-drawn carriages, or ride a bicycle.
