A round-trip cruise from Salamina, close to Athens, through the Saronic Gulf and along the eastern Peloponnese coast, calling at Epidaurus, Poros, Hydra, Ermioni and Aegina.
The cruise starts and ends at Salamina, a short distance from Athens, and sails through the Saronic Gulf, one of the easiest and most scenic sailing areas in Greece. The route links the Peloponnese coast with the islands of Poros, Hydra and Aegina, so every day offers a different harbour.
The pace is relaxed, with swim stops and time in port along the way. The route is flexible and may be adapted to the wind and sea conditions.
Anchorages range from the sandy beaches of Epidaurus and the pine-backed bays of Poros and Hydra to the quiet shore at Perdika on Aegina. Clear water makes swimming a pleasure at most stops.
Ashore, Epidaurus has its ancient theatre, Poros the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon, Hydra its captains' mansions and old harbour, Ermioni its cobbled seafront and Aegina the temple of Aphaia. Evenings are for waterfront tavernas and harbour bars.
Life on board is sociable and easy-going, with time to explore Athens before and after the cruise.

Hydra
Hydra is the island of Greek naval history, with captains' mansions around the old harbour, a lively town and the cathedral to visit. Vlichos, with its backdrop of pine trees, is a favourite beach. The night is spent in Hydra, where the old town comes alive with bars in the evening.

Travel organizer tips
What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light but wisely! Need help building the perfect list? Read our full guide: What to pack in a suitcase for a yacht charter
What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor, ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties, think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything. Want to know what's included in your setup? Read the full guide: Who takes care of cooking and cleaning on a sailing charter?
What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues, but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?
