Saronic Gulf
Discover the Saronic Gulf
The uniqueness of Greece lies primarily in the people who create the unique atmosphere in this country, framed in ancient culture and in ruins of former glory. Experiencing it from the deck of a yacht is the best way to do it. Below are some of the most interesting places near Athens and the Saronic Gulf.
Epidavros
One of the most famous archaeological sites in Greece is ancient Epidavros, a settlement that flourished around the sacred sanctuary of Asclepius.
Itinerary
A sailing trip around the Saronic Gulf encapsulates the essence of Greece, offering a taste of key elements like ancient ruins, local cuisine, and picturesque islands within the sailing itinerary.
The Athens Peninsula provides shelter from the northern Meltemi winds, ensuring generally calm conditions for sailors.
The first stop after leaving Athens is Aegina, a charming island known for its pistachios, with shops offering up to nine flavours of pistachio ice cream. In the northeastern part of the island are some of the best-preserved temple ruins in the area—the Temple of the goddess Aphaia—which provides a quieter alternative to more crowded sites.
