Yacht charter from Lavrion, near Athens, gateway to the Cyclades

Lavrion is one of the main ports of Athens and easy to reach from the city. Athens, rich in culture and history, is well worth a visit before you set sail to explore the many islands and mainland destinations within reach of the base.

Lavrion is on the east coast of the Attica peninsula, ideal for exploring the Cyclades or the island of Evia to the north. Kea is just 14 miles away, and a week takes in Syros, Paros, Sifnos and Kythnos, making Lavrion a great choice for a yacht charter near Athens.
