Standard crew 2 people Example of the journey (depending on the weather) There are 3 basic options for your route, which are possible depending on the travel period and weather conditions: • Cyclades tour • Saronic Gulf • Combination of both routes In the following list there is a combination of both tours. 1st day - Saturday Lavrion → Kolona on Kithnos Bay We will book you a comfortable direct flight from your home airport to Athens. (De- pending on the flight program, this can also take place one day proir departure.) You will be picked up at Athens Airport and taken to the port of Lavrion. There you move into your berth on the ship “Agamemnon”, a Bavaria 50. After the welcome drink, you will receive an extensive safety briefing from the skip- per on board. We leave in the early afternoon. A few hours of sailing await us on the way to Kithnos Island. There we anchor next to one of the most beautiful sandy bea- ches in the Cyclades, Kolona. Enjoy the Greek cuisine at sunset with an excellent dinner in the tavern located di- rectly on the beach. The perfect way to start your vacation. 2nd day - Sunday Kolona on Kithnos → Livadi on Serifos Port The day begins with a delicious breakfast on board with lots of fresh fruit. Then there is time to swim, read or just relax on the sandy beach with a glass of Crémant. At around 1 p.m. we continue to the small port of Livadi on the island of Serifos. There is the possibility of a wine tasting on the island in the evening for those interested. Then the boss of a local tavern awaits us with delicious Greek starters - so-called mezze. 3rd day - Monday Livadi on Serifos → Poros Port Today we spend the day at sea - assuming good weather, of course. Early in the mor- ning a wonderful long swing begins across the Saronic Gulf. With more vegetation and a slightly milder climate, flora and fauna also change in a very short time. Delicious snacks are served on board during the day and anyone who likes can try their hand at steering a 15m yacht under the guidance of the skipper. Today we will cover a good 60 miles until dinner in the beautiful port of Poros. We are expected. Then we end the eventful day in a cozy wine bar. 4th day - Tuesday Poros → Bay on Dokos Bay In the morning you have time to explore the island of Poros. Different tours are available, depending on your individual taste. The skipper and his crew know their way around and will show you the most beautiful corners of the island; Of course, you can also go shopping in one of the lovely boutiques. At around 2 p.m. we set off southbound to the island of Dokos - there we are usually lonely in a beautiful bay and you enjoy a delicious dinner on board. Day 5 - Wednesday Bucht on Dokos → Hydra Port In order to get a good spot in the picturesque port of Hydra, we will moor there at early noon and have enough time to explore the famous island. Picturesque alleys, beautiful hiking trails or just the lively life of the small port town are worth savoring in peace. Day 6 - Thursday Hydra → Kap Sunion Bay With many memories in our luggage, we spend lunch and afternoon at sea and finally anchor at the foot of the Poseidon Temple for dinner on board or in the local tavern. When the weather is nice, we experience a fantastic sunset - an image for the gods. Day 7 - Friday Kap Sunion → Lavrion Port As in Homer's time, after a leisurely and balanced breakfast we visit the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion Bay. Even then, the seafarers thanked the god of the sea for their voyage. In the afternoon we go to Lavrion in the harbor, because this is where our chartered yacht has its home. Day 8 - Saturday Lavrion In the morning you leave the ship and the time until your return flight is at your own disposal. Depending on the departure time, a stroll in Athens' old town, the so-called “Plaka” or in Lavrion, is possible. Of course, our transport service will take you there - so that you can optimally enjoy the time until your return flight. All statements without guarantee. Subject to changes.
