Leg 1

DAY 1

Your catamaran awaits you from 15:00 in the marina of Alimos. Alimos is a southern suburb of Athens, 30 km from Athens Airport. Welcome on board by the crew and accommodation in the cabins. Departure at 18:00 for the port of Perdika. Perdika is an old historical settlement, built around the port. In the past, its inhabitants were exclusively involved in fishing. Perdika is famous for small houses with their courtyards that connect to each other. In the pedestrian area there are taverns excellent for fresh fish, ouzeri, bars and cafes. The pedestrian area continues with benches in the trees, where anyone can watch the sunset, watching the sun disappear into the sea. Descend the special rock stairs to swim in clear waters. Swim to the beautiful rocky beach of Perdika, next to the trees, open your umbrellas and dive into the sea from the two wooden platforms.

DAY 1

Leg 2

DAY 2 - Mandraki Hydra

Breakfast on board, visit by bus or taxi of the picturesque and traditional town of Aegina, with excellent restaurants, taverns, clubs, bars, cafes and nightlife. Alternatively, visit the ancient temple of Aphaia. After lunch you will continue to Mandraki Bay in Hydra, where you will spend the night. With a sea taxi you can visit the port of Hydra. Hydra, built in the shape of an amphitheater on a slope overlooking the Gulf of Argosaronico, is one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. The traditional stone palaces, the narrow cobbled streets, the secluded squares and above all the ban on cars and the use of about 500 donkeys as a means of public transport, explain why Hydra has preserved its distinctive atmosphere through the passage of time. In the past, the island experienced exceptional economic growth thanks to its great naval and commercial activity. 

DAY 2 - Mandraki Hydra

Leg 3

GIORNO 3 Hydra Spetses (3 h)

Breakfast on board, sail to the port of Hydra and stop for 1-2 hours. Afterwards, continue to Dokos Island for lunch. Dokos is one of the most popular nautical destinations in the Saronic Gulf. It is an almost uninhabited island, located between the southern coast of the Peloponnese and the islands of Hydra and Spetses. What makes Dokos so popular with boaters is the picturesque bay of Skintos, which offers clear waters and shelter from all winds. Dokos is ideal for those who love wild landscapes, peace, tranquility and beautiful sunset views! The island offers important historical artifacts dating back more than 8,000 years and the oldest shipwreck in the world. After lunch, we set sail for the island of Spetses. Spetses, an island with a long naval tradition, is famous for its significant contribution to the War of Independence in 1821. It was here that the flag of the revolution was hoisted on April 3, 1821. 

GIORNO 3 Hydra Spetses (3 h)

Leg 4

DAY 4 Spetses & Hermione

After breakfast you sail to Hermione with a stop for swimming and lunch in Agios Emilianos and in the afternoon you arrive in Hermione. Hermione is a picturesque village of about 2600 inhabitants on the southeastern coast of Argolis, with a characteristic island appearance. It is located near the cape of Bisti, at the end of the Argolic peninsula, opposite the islands of Dokos and Hydra. Its inhabitants are mainly dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees. In recent decades, the area has become a tourist attraction that has prompted many locals to engage in tourism. If you like hiking trails, you should definitely cross the small Katafyki gorge that connects Ermioni to Fournoi. It is a half-hour walk that will surely win you over. The landscape is uniquely beautiful, consisting of rocks, caves, rich vegetation and the small church of St. Nicholas, built in 1740, with remains of medieval walls in the courtyard.

DAY 4 Spetses & Hermione

Leg 5

DAY 5 ERMIONE - POROS

After breakfast we set sail to the island of Poros with a stop in the bay of Soupia for swimming and lunch. Entering the port of Poros, you have a beautiful view of the town, built on the hills. The finds in the Archaeological Museum date back to the Mycenaean period (1600 - 1100 BC) up to Roman times. Among the objects on display there are also artifacts of ancient shipwrecks recovered in the Gulf area. Visit the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon in the northern part of Poros. Follow a path through the narrow streets of the city that will lead you up a hill, where the symbol of the island is located: the historic Clock Tower, where you can relax and enjoy a panoramic view of the whole city.

DAY 5 ERMIONE - POROS

Leg 6

DAY 6 Poros Palaia

We sail to the Bay of Love in Poros. Breakfast on board and continue to Epidaurus with a stop in Agios Georgios for lunch. Ancient Epidaurus (or Palaia - old - Epidaurus, as it is otherwise called) is a small but charming port in the Saronic Gulf, with a rich history that is lost in the depths of the centuries and that generously offers the visitor sea, natural beauty and archaeological sites. Built on the same site as the ancient city, it extends into the bowels of a narrow bay. The view is dazzling from the pine-covered Akros mountain. Locals call the small peninsula Island, and rightly so. Here visitors will encounter the Small Ancient Theatre, deep blue beaches for diving and good tourist infrastructure.

DAY 6 Poros Palaia

GRENADINES Paradise - Week on a catamaran with hostess FULL BOARD

Very nice catamaran even if there were not enough bottles of wine on board among those we requested. Skipper good but preferred to speak in French and often did not adapt to the requests of us passengers. Nice itinerary but there is not much coral reef and fish, compared to other destinations. Very long crossings between one island and another and with always very rough seas.

GRENADINES Paradise - Week on a catamaran with hostess FULL BOARD

A week based entirely on navigation, with little time for snorkeling. Obligatory, prepaid shore trips that were worth just a great lobster lunch on the beach. Rigid aperitif times, lunch and dinner, inflexible cook on the menu chosen at his unquestionable will. No possibility of changing the menu of the day, because it was not declared before and therefore sometimes we were left without being able to eat. Tense atmosphere if you didn't like the food or had requests, also due to linguistic misunderstanding. The crew spoke only French, no English or little. The quality of the wine and food is low. Frozen fish in bags, except on the first day. Cocktails that are good only on two or three occasions, because they are freshly prepared. For the rest, bottles of rum and fruit already prepared and hot. Disappointing holiday despite the very beautiful location.

The boat was very nice but I found the rules on board too strict, for example lunch at 12 and dinner at 19 for an all-Italian crew it is too early and we would have liked more flexibility. In addition, the language on board was French and, fortunately, English. Too little for an international cruise.

My rating is just enough and I would actually only give it 2 stars. Unfortunately the holiday turned out to be far below expectations, the quality / price ratio is very bad. First of all, the French skipper who speaks almost no English is unacceptable with a group of guests from various nationalities. In case of emergency, the captain must know how to give clear and quick orders and he would not have been able at all. The French hostess (his girlfriend) cooked everything except "navigation" food: for the whole holiday as vegetables only two salad leaves and one evening green beans, in the first three days there was practically no fruit and in the tropics it is a must, fish eaten only twice and meat after all; he always cooked heavy lunches / dinners that did not go well with the environment and the temperature ... The answers to the various intolerances or requests for vegetarian dishes were rude and considered only sometimes. The group we sailed with fortunately turned out to be the trump card of the holiday, we were all on the same wavelength and complained about the same things. Our collective requests to stay a little longer in one place or to change times for activities have never been answered in the affirmative, revealing an excessive rigidity on the program and on the needs of the captain-hostess as a couple. Another sore point is navigation: 13 hours at night as soon as you embark and then immediately "segregated" in the cabin with the order not to leave until 6 in the morning is madness. In our group two people were sick, one of whom was in a single cabin and neither the hostess nor the captain bothered to go and check on her and give her a hand in case of need. Unfortunately, even the places visited are below expectations: obviously they are beautiful places, but as far as coral reefs and marine fauna are concerned, they are very lacking. They made us do 2-3 snorkeling in very busy places (a little bit for a week on the boat). The cleanliness left a bit to be desired and note that the cabin has to be cleaned by itself throughout the week. Basically I loved the catamaran and the holiday at sea but there were too many poor points so in the future I will definitely evaluate other destinations and modalities.
