Day 1 :
One of the prettiest islands of the Saronic group, Aegina is very well known for the farming of its pistachio nuts and the local pottery. It has lovely sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages, and is a delight to explore. On the island are the remains of the famous temple of Aphaia, noted for its magnificent architecture.
Day 2 :
Our call at Epidauros will be in the morning so that you can visit the side of the famous ancient theater, renowned for its acoustics. Later, we'll resume our sail and continue to our next destination.
Day 3 :
Our call Hydra will offer you one of the most attractive harbors in all of Greece. This island is favored by many artists, and a stroll through the streets and along the waterfront will show you why. Shops, clubs, bars and beautiful views are the main attractions.
Day 4 :
Leonidion is a small coastal village of the Peloponnese, one of those fairly quiet sleepy villages that you dream of. With deep waters along its shores, we're likely to spot dolphins, who may decide to join us. There is an important monastery at this location, and we can arrange a visit.
Day 5 :
Our call at Monemvasia, a city situated on a rock 350 meters above sea level, affords us the opportunity to visit the ‘Gibraltar of Greece.’ With outstanding scenery and an amazing atmosphere, we'll have the opportunity to explore the two parts of the city, one inhabited, and the other in ruins.
Day 6 :
This town, famous for the fortress which defended the city, is a very scenic port with a very long history. The architecture remains as beautiful as it was from the 18th century. You can visit the Palamidi Fortress, as long as you're willing to tackle the 850 steps to its summit! The view from the top is worth every one of those 850 steps!
Day 7 :
The beautiful green island of Poros has a wonderful harborfront with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants, and the port attracts many private yachts and sailing boats. There are good beaches nearby and stunning scenery.
Day 8 :
Spetses is a delight to explore, since it's main town is mostly pedestrianized (except for horse and buggy!). You can get about the island with motorbike or public bus, and there are some lovely coves and beaches.
