Sailing in Greece. A unique experience on a skippered boat offering you the opportunity to enjoy… Stunning Coastline… Picturesque Islands… Remote Places… Ancient Sights… Extraordinary & Hospitable People…
Poros
Charming… Indulgent… Amicable… with unique traditional local color. Also considered the island of peace, romance and jauntiness… with overgrown pine trees reaching down to the rugged shores and the sandy beaches.
Hydra
Cosmopolitan… Glorious… Magnificent Island… From your very first visit, a magic feeling surrounds you… Perhaps it’s in the unique architecture and graphic scenes throughout the Island, or perhaps it’s in its long history and rich heritage, or even – a fusion of all. A stroll through the town’s picturesque cobble stone streets will convince you of its uniqueness.
Get ready for a walk or a donkey ride since in Hydra you will not find any cars.
Ermioni
Is built across a peninsula embraced by the sea on both sides, giving it the feeling of an island town with the benefits of being on the mainland. The old town rises up a hillside, with splendid views to nearby islands and a fertile plain rich in pomegranates, citrus fruits and olive groves. Below, the northern bay forms a natural harbor for the busy little port where you see fishermen cleaning their nets and small shops and cafes. Mandraki, to the south, offers a good selection of quay side restaurants, bars and traditional Taverns with their octopuses hanging outside to dry in the sun. At the peninsula’s tip is a pine-covered Bisti, where rocky coves offer great swimming in calm crystal clear waters. Walkers will discover the stone foundations of Temples, and the remains of “Cyclopean Walls”.
Methana & The Volcano
Inhabited since about 10.000 B.C. the peninsula of Methana is considered to contain some 32 volcanoes that are mostly andesitic.
Epidavros
Picturesque with traditional houses just next to Ancient Epidaurus and the ruins… Natural beauty… historical monuments… ruins… a lovely beach… and welcoming locals are among the things that a visitor will see.
Ancient Theater of Epidaurus
The Huge Ancient Theater with its astonishing acoustics – A product of advanced design with the rows of limestone seats to filter out low-frequency sounds, such as the murmur of the crowd, and amplify/reflect high-frequency sounds from the stage!
Agistri
A small remote paradise full of pine trees and emerald waters. According to Homer, Agistri was called Kekrifalia, which means “adorned head” and appears as an ally of Aegina during the Trojan War.
Aegina
Famous for its Pistachio Trees the island is beautiful, traditional and historical… Tradition derives the name from Aegina, the mother of Aeacus, who was born in and ruled the island. During ancient times, Aegina was a rival to Athens, the great sea power of the era.
