CRUISE PLAN

DAY 1

Nafplio - Palamidi Fortress

Our awesome tour begins by climbing the famous Akronafplia, the hill on which the Palamidi fortress is built. Built by the Venetians in the 18th century, it provides a spectacular view of the whole Argolic gulf. Trekking enthousiasts can take the 999 steps to the fortress, while there is always the option to go there by car! We'll get to cool off directly after, with a refreshing drink on one of the waterfront bars.

DAY 2

Astros - Astros Fortress

We set sail for Astros, a lively, seaside village. After our docking, we'll explore the medieval castle that sits on top of the hill, only 15 minutes walking from the harbour. Enjoy the rest of Astros during the day, lie on the beach, and enjoy the taverns and bars as the sun sets.

DAY 3

Spetses

Sailing and exploration day. Spetses is one of the most cosmopolitan Greek Islands and a popular destination for Yachters, so rely on your skipper to dock you on this one! Crystal clear waters invite you for swimming and during the evening we'll explore the town and its wonderful quay. Moonlight walks recommended!

DAY 4

Hydra - Dokos

Up next is the island of Hydra, a crucial landmark of the Greek revolution in the mid 1800's. The island is completely car free, so we'll enjoy it on foot and visit its Museum. After our visit, we'll grab some tasty chtapodaki for lunch (octopus in vinegar sauce) and other local delights before setting sail for the uninhabited, tranquil island of Dokos. We'll sleep under the stars for this one, a truly unique and calming experience.

DAY 5

Porto Heli

Relaxation day. We'll spend it in emerald waters, exploring hidden coves and green hills. Our destination: Porto Ηeli, normally reserved for the famous.

DAY 6

Nafplio - Bourtzi Fortress

Back to base, but only because great things lie ahead! On our way back, we'll visit the small, cozy, green island of Romvi, home to more medieval fortifications that you can explore, if you like. Reaching Nafplio, we'll visit its iconic water fortress, Bourtzi.

DAY 7

Mycenae

It's impossible to visit the Peloponnese without visiting the archaelogical sites of Mycenae and Tyrins, both on the UNESCO list of global heritage sites. Today is devoted in visiting them, so wear your sports shoes and lets go! In the evening, we've got options: Let us be your Deus Ex Machina and take you for a quick sunset cruise, or watch an ancient drama unfold in front of your eyes in the ancient theater of Epidaurus (upon request & availability).

DAY 8

Epidaurus

Today is departure day, but we still have something for you, if you're up for it! The archaelogical site of Epidaurus is also an absolute must-see! If however, you went for the play last night, we can instead take you to see the impressive castle of Acrocorinth. By now, you should be proper Greek history masters!
