Athens's waters, in practice

The Athens riviera and the Saronic gulf, with Aegina, Poros and Hydra a day’s sail away. Wind-wise: a meltemi far tamer in the Saronic than in the Cyclades — the ideal basin for a first Greek charter.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the marinas of Athens’ south coast, Alimos first among them — Greece’s biggest charter base. The local classics: the Aphaia temple on Aegina, the Poros channel, car-free Hydra and Cape Sounion at sunset. High season: from May to October, fleets turning Saturday to Saturday out of Alimos.
