Yacht charter from Athens, for the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades

Alimos Marina in Kalamaki is just 15 km from the centre of Athens, one of the most important historical cities in the world. The cruising possibilities are endless, with beautiful islands and cultural mainland destinations in every direction, and the marina itself is one of the biggest in Greece, with every facility you would expect.

Alimos is ideally placed to explore the Saronic and Argolic gulfs as well as the Cyclades: a week among Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses, or two weeks island hopping to Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Milos.

With trams, buses and taxis 500 metres from the marina, it is easy to explore Athens and the Acropolis before or after your charter.

Sample itinerary

A sample week sailing from Athens Kalamaki

A suggested seven-night route around the Saronic Gulf, from ancient Epidavros to car-free Hydra, Spetses, Poros and Aegina.

  1. Day1

    Arrive at Alimos

    Fly from the UK to Athens and transfer to Alimos Marina, Kalamaki, for embarkation.

  2. Day2

    Epidavros, mainland (31nm)

    Enjoy the emerald water of one of Epidavros’s beaches and, if you can, visit the ancient theatre 30 minutes inland, one of the best preserved of its kind.

  3. Day3

    Hydra (32nm)

    A favourite weekend getaway for Athenians, with no cars: everything is carried by donkey. Art lovers will enjoy the galleries and the historical museum.

  4. Day4

    Spetses (15nm)

    An idyllic, affluent island with an attractive promenade, local boutiques and mopeds to hire for finding hidden treasures.

  5. Day5

    Poros (26nm)

    Another favourite of Athenians: walk through the fragrant Lemon Forest or up to the clock tower.

  6. Day6

    Aegina (13nm)

    A formidable naval centre in ancient times and briefly the capital of Greece in the 19th century, with a bustling port, neoclassical buildings, fabulous seafood and archaeological sites.

  7. Day7

    Back to Alimos (17nm)

    Spend your final evening in central Athens and, if you arrive early enough, visit the Acropolis.

  8. Day8

    Disembark

    Disembark and transfer to Athens airport.

For two weeks in the Cyclades, a suggested route runs from Alimos to Kea, Syros, Tinos, Mykonos, Paros, Ios, Santorini, Folegandros, Milos, Sifnos, Serifos and Kythnos, then back to Alimos. This is a suggested route only. You are free to plan your own itinerary, and the base team will be happy to suggest harbours and anchorages to suit the weather.
