Day 1

Athens

Your charter will begin in Greece’s capital city of Athens. At over 2,500 years old, Athens is a buzzing hub of history, culture and contemporary life. UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Acropolis and Daphni Monastery are stunning remnants of ancient Greece, and landmarks from the ‘later’ years such as Byzantine churches should not be missed.

Day 2

Hydra

The first stop on your luxury yacht charter is Hydra. Located in the midst of the Argo-Saronic Gulf, Hydra is one of the most charming of the Greek islands. Elegant stone mansions, tiny lanes, donkeys roaming the streets and quaint churches create a picturesque seaside setting straight out of a fairytale. The attractive environment has enticed many international jet setters, serving as a getaway for celebrities such as Leonard Cohen, Maria Callas, Aristotle Onassis, and many more.

Day 3

Nafplion

The lovely Peloponnese town of Nafplion has been recognized as one of Greece’s most romantic destinations. Between 1823 and 1834 it served as the capital of the new state and it still shows traces of Venetian and Ottoman occupation. The ancient walls, monuments, old castles, and statues exude history and are lovely sights to see as you explore the town. Combining old world charm with spectacular architecture, Nafplion is a sight for sore eyes, with bougainvilleas streaming down its medieval castles, Byzantine churches, Turkish fountains, and grand neoclassical structures.

Today, this beautiful island offers both tranquility and a cosmopolitan ambience, comprising picturesque bays, historical ruins, a glamorous harbour and a shoreline laced with swirling turquoise waters. Cars are all but banned; horse-drawn carriages are the main mode of transportation and results in a relaxed, laissez-faire atmosphere.

Day 5

Poros

Cruise on to Poros, a true Greek jewel in the middle of the Saronic Gulf. Anchor in the harbour and admire the scenery, surrounded by magnificent beaches, verdant hills, attractive villages, and a vintage vibe.
