Why a Private Catamaran Charter in Greece is the Most Romantic Getaway
18 minute read

Athens is the gateway to the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades. Board in Alimos, Kalamaki, or Lavrion. Short hops in the Saronic suit families and first-time crews. The Meltemi builds in summer. Pick the Cyclades only if your crew wants stronger wind and longer legs.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We plan routes, moorings, and fuel stops. Briefings cover local traffic lanes, no-anchor zones, and fallback harbors. Reserve berths in high season and arrive early afternoon.

Sail to Aegina Town for easy stern-to and full services. Visit the Temple of Aphaia and try local pistachios. Anchor at Perdika with a line ashore, then swim at Moni islet. Cross to Agistri for turquoise coves at Aponisos and Dragonera. Good holding in sand. Watch ferry wash near main quays.

Enter Poros via the narrow channel at slow speed. Moor on the town quay and refuel by truck. Short hike to the lighthouse for views. Hop to Methana for warm springs and volcanic hills. Continue to Palaia Epidavros for the sunken ancient city, then taxi to the great theatre. Depths vary near fish farms, follow marks and keep a good anchor scope.

Hydra Harbor fills by midday. Be ready to Med-moor fast and raft if asked. If full, go to Mandraki or Kamini and take a water taxi. Walk the car-free lanes and visit the museum on the quay. Sail to Spetses for Zogeria Bay and clear water, then the Old Port for dinner. Check forecast before crossing open fetch between Hydra and Spetses.
