Information on the Cruise:
Start cruising to the South, passing by Aegina island, popular Hydra island and underpopulated Dokos island. A refreshing swim stop before reaching Porto Heli, a seaside town with a large port and one of the most luxurious destinations in Greece.
This cosmopolitan hangout in Peloponese has it all: beautiful beaches backed by the sun-kissed Mediterranean landscape, attractive summer villas and a stunning new resort, Amanzoe’s of the Aman Resorts chain, yacht marinas, fresh fish and a lively nightlife.
The little harbour is well protected from the wind and much favoured by yachtsmen. Across the way are the ruins of the ancient city of Alieon. You will enjoy your stroll through the streets lined with shops, restaurants and hotels.
Next on the cruise is the island of Spetses, an island boasting a long naval tradition, famous for its significant contribution to the 1821 War of Independence.The island has managed to retain its individual traditional character thanks to its well-preserved grand captain mansions, still bearing eloquent witness to the island’s glorious past.
The picturesque old harbour and Dapia, a tourist and commercial centre where the heart of the island’s entertainment beats, are the trademarks of the town of Spetses. Take a romantic trip around the island in horse-drawn carriages and admire the grand mansions adorning the narrow cobbled streets of the island.
You can visit Spetses during September, when “Armata”, a truly impressive re-enactment of a naval battle takes place ever since 1931. You will enjoy a delicious lunch in one of the local taverns-restaurants.
Return to the yacht and start cruising back to Athens enjoying the beautiful sunset colors along way.
