lifetime, as together we explore the Saronic region of
Greece.
ITINERARY
Day 1: Alimos - Sounio
This epic sailing adventure starts from the quaint town of Alimos
just South of Athens, situated close to the historic town of
Pireaus. Arrive into Greece early and explore the former home of
the Ancient Greek navy. We’ll set sail at 4pm and follow the
magnificent coastline South until we reach the historic town of
Sounio. We’ll get you there in time for sunset at the ancient
Temple of Poseidon, truly a sight to behold. The fun doesn’t stop
after dark though, we’ll be celebrating our first night in style in
the town – so if you arrive into Greece after 4pm that evening you
can join us any time directly in Sounio.
Day 2: Sounio - Dokos
Get your sea legs ready for a morning on the open sea. We’ll stop
for a midday swim on our way to the uninhabited island of Dokos.
The turquoise waters and rocky outcrops of this island will be our
home for the evening.

so we can get the full experience of this magical island, where the

its outstanding architecture, white washed houses with terracotta
roofs built into the hillside, not to mention the abundance of
picturesque tavernas. Don’t be fooled this town becomes alive at
night and the ouzo will be flowing!
Day 4: Hydra - Perdika
From Hydra we set sail for Perdika. There’ll be plenty of reasons
to get the snorkels out during this beautiful day sailing around
the Saronic islands, before we spend a chilled evening in the
traditional fishing village of Perdika,
Day 5: Perdika - Epidavros
For those of you in need of a cultural fix UNESCO World Heritage
Site, The Temple of Asklepios in Epidavros will blow your socks
off! One of the worlds incredible wonders, this ancient Roman
Amphitheatre has been wonderfully persevered and casually has the
most magnificent backdrop of the Greek mainland. After this we’ll
settle down in the bay of Epidavros for a banging beach party that
evening.

we welcome the Annual STM Sailing Race – no skippers allowed! Some

island, the amazing island of Poros. Get your glad rags out and
your dancing shoes on as we paint the town red on town red, after

region!

The best option is to fly into the international airport of
Athens.
From Athens there are three options to get to Alimos Marina. Option
1, bus from the airport which takes 1 hour 20 minutes and costs 5
Euros, Option 2 is the train which costs 10 Euros and takes 1 hour
or Option 3, taxi which takes 35-40 minutes and costs 10-15 Euros
per person. You’re bound to be on the same flight as a host of
other people, so don’t worry too much about the transfers until
closer to your arrival.
We’ll be sailing from Alimos Marina, at 4pm on Saturday 24th
August, but don’t worry if you arrive after 4pm on a later flight,
on Saturday evening we’ll be anchored and celebrating our first
night in the bay of Sounio. If you are on a later flight ie.
arriving after 4pm then you can take a taxi from Athens airport
which takes 35-40 minutes.
