Join us in Athens and get ready to sail!

Sail the Mediterranean in Style

During the flotilla in Athens, we will sail to the Saronic islands of Aegina, Poros, and Hydra.

It is a perfect sailing area for short distances, as there is often constant and reliable wind (between 3 and 5 Beaufort) and beautiful islands to explore.

This sunny flotilla in the Saronic Gulf always starts on Saturday from Alimos, the largest marina in Athens.

You can rent a sailing bareboat and sail in the flotilla with a Dutch or Greek skipper. This is also a reason why the Saronic Gulf is perfect for family sailing.

During the weeks, the composition of the crew members might change. However, they will make sure you have a great time in Greece.

This year, Wouter de Jong will guide our Athens flotilla.

As an experienced sailor, Wouter has already spent much time out on the water, from sailing trips to the UK to adventures on the Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean Seas. And also in flotillas, of course.

He will therefore use his enthusiasm and expertise to guide you and make sure you have an unforgettable time.

Day 1

Check-in Alimos / Athens

You can check in quietly at Alimos after your flight on Saturday. We will not leave until Sunday. Take the time for the check-in extensively and possibly grab an Uber to the centre of Athens or Piraeus. The meeting and reception are in the temporary office of Tubber at the harbour. You can board your sailing yacht or catamaran at 5 p.m.

Day 2

Athens - Epidaurus

After the skipper's briefing with a nice cup of coffee, we sail away. During the day, you can drop anchor in one of the beautiful bays for a nice swim (sometimes a bit chilly) or snorkelling. In Epidaurus, you can visit the impressive amphitheatre. It is known as the best-preserved theatre of Greek antiquity.

Day 3

Epidaurus - Vathy

In the morning, you have time to explore the village of Epidaurus and buy fresh sandwiches. Around noon, we sail to Vathy on the Methana peninsula. Vathy is a picturesque village with many small restaurants and is located on the open sea, making the water very clean here.

Day 4

Vathy - Poros

Poros is cosy and picturesque; the residents here rely on the tourists, but somehow, they manage to keep it authentic. The small streets are still cleaned with a broomstick. Here, you can rent a scooter or a bicycle to enjoy the view higher up the mountain. Or take a walk among the old houses under overhanging flowers. Of course, there is plenty of time for real Greek cuisine and a drink on the terrace or your back deck.

Day 5

Poros - Perdika

Perdika is a village on the beautiful Greek island of Aegina. On the way to the village, you have the best chance of spotting dolphins. There is plenty of time to drop anchor somewhere for a spring dive or a delicious lunch.

Day 6

Perdika - Korfos

This small harbour town is in a beautiful bay. You can enjoy the view and the sunset from the terrace or your cockpit.

Day 7

Korfos - Athene

Today we sail back to Athens. In between, you still have time to drop anchor. In the evening, there is the option to go out for dinner with the whole group. This way, you can still enjoy the last Greek evening together.

Day 8

Check out

Today is the last day. If you fly back at the end of the day, you can still visit the Acropolis, the streets of Plaka or the Monastiraki district.

Where does the Athens flotilla depart?

Surprise, surprise - from Athens! The flotilla guidance and most participants will depart from Alimos Marina (Kalamaki). However, it is also possible to start from Piraeus, Delta, or even Lavrion.

When does the Athens flotilla sail?

The Athens flotilla departs during the May holiday and sails every other week. The flotilla will sail for the last time towards the end of October.

Is the flotilla holiday in Athens suitable for children?

Definitively! Especially in high season, many children are present, and fun activities are also planned. Outside the high season, the flotilla is a bit more child-friendly, focusing more on adult activities.

What are the average daily distances of the flotilla holidays in Athens?

The average daily distances during the Athens flotilla are between 15 and 20 nautical miles. Outside the high season (when fewer children are coming), longer daily distances are often planned. Everything depends on the weather and what the group wants.

Which bays, islands and harbours will the Athens flotilla visit?

During the Athens flotilla, islands such as Aegina, Poros, Agistri, Dokos and Hydra will be visited. In the two-week flotilla, we often continue to Porto Cheli and Nafplion. We will also visit bays at Vathy, Perdika and Epidaurus, where you can snorkel very well.
