Itinerary
Travel to Alimos from Athens airport. The adventure starts here, on the Athenian Riviera. Known for its stunning beaches and waterside dining, this awesome town is full of Greek charm! Those who arrive early can stroll the marina and enjoy an ouzo in the sun. At 6pm we’ll all gather at one of Alimos’ famous tavernas, meet your skippers and crewmates and enjoy that first day of holiday feeling.
We wake to coffee, a short yoga session, and then out into the beautiful Saronic Golfe. Today we set sail for Egina. We can vist Egina town, a beautiful and bustling Greek town famous for pistachios, before we spend a chilled evening in the traditional fishing village of Perdika. A tiny village with a row of fish tavernas along the coast, and its own little beach, Perdika is one of the real gems of the Saronic.
After breakfast in Perdika we have the opportunity for a short stop at Moni. An uninhabited island famous for deer and peacocks, we can stretch our legs and explore before heading back to the yachts and our next stop, a secluded little bay on the Island of Agistri. Yoga will be in this beautiful location, as well as plenty of time to swim and snorkel, before heading to Epidavros for the evening.
With it’s ancient ampitheatre, Epidavros is worth spending a morning exploring, and a short hop by boat around the coast is a spot to anchor and snorkel over some small ancient ruins. Ancient history in Greece is never far, and this meeting of the old and new is what makes this place so incredible.
From Epidavros we will have a lunch time stop to swim before heading to the gorgeous town Poros.
After breakfast in Poros we can make our way to Spetses. With only a short lunch stop we can have time to spend a relaxed afternoon and evening before taking dinner in a local Taverna. With a chance to walk, or just to chill, before our beautiful sunset yoga session.
From Spetses we head to Hydra, to explore the local town, before a longer sail across to Sounio. Depending on the weather, we may be able to stop here for the evening. Of course, with sailing, as with yoga, we need to be able to work with the rythems of nature, and we will make this call nearer the time.
We wake up to our last day on the water. With plenty of time to swim before heading back to base, and the opportunity to walk up to Posidens Temple, and imposing Greek monument on the headland, where, myth has it, that Aegeus, the King of Athens, leapt into the sea after seeing black sails on his son Theseus’ boat, thus naming the sea, the Aegean.
Getting There/Away
The best option is to fly into the international airport of Athens. You can fly from most airports in the UK, Athens also has great connections across Europe.
From Athens there are three options to get to Alimos Marina. Option 1, bus from the airport which takes 1 hour 20 minutes and costs 5 Euros, Option 2 is the train which costs 10 Euros and takes 1 hour or Option 3, taxi which takes 35-40 minutes and costs 10-15 Euros per person. You’re bound to be on the same flight as a host of other people, so don’t worry too much about the transfers until closer to your arrival.
Flights
We’ll be sailing from Alimos Marina, in the afternoon on Saturday 23rd August, but don’t worry if you arrive after 4pm on a later flight, on Saturday evening we’ll be anchored and celebrating our first night in the bay of Sounio. If you are on a later flight ie. arriving after 4pm then you can take a taxi from Athens airport which takes 35-40 minutes.
There are a number of flights that arrive in to Athens on the Saturday morning and evening, or extend your trip and get a flight in the night before.
