  1. Aerial view of Poros Island, Greece, showing the harbor, red-roofed houses, and surrounding coastline.

    Day 1

    Poros

    Departing from Athens, cruise a few hours south to Poros, a lively island known for its pine forests, relaxed charm, and seaside cafés. Swim in the turquoise waters of Love Bay or visit the peaceful Zoodochos Pigi Monastery nestled in the hills. If you’re feeling adventurous, head across to the mainland’s Lemon Forest — a citrus-scented valley filled with springs and old watermills.

  2. Aerial view of Spetses Island’s old harbor with yachts docked and traditional houses stretching across the hillside.

    Day 2

    Spetses

    Enjoy a scenic morning cruise with a swim stop before reaching Spetses — the stylish “island of scents.” Cars are banned here, so the island feels wonderfully peaceful. Explore the harbor town of Dapia with its neoclassical mansions, or swim into the remote Bekiris Cave. Spetses is popular with Athenians and known for its vibrant yet refined atmosphere.

  3. Aerial view of Porto Heli’s marina and coastline with yachts, turquoise bays, and surrounding greenery.

    Day 3

    Porto Heli

    Cruise to Porto Heli, a chic bay town tucked in a protected natural harbor. Surrounded by pine hills, it’s ideal for water sports, dining, and relaxing. Swim in the healing waters of Lake Ververoda or visit ancient ruins in nearby Kranidi. In the evening, unwind with cocktails at the famous Nikki Beach Club.

  4. Hydra harbor view with yachts, fishing boats, and colorful neoclassical buildings climbing the hillside.

    Day 4

    Hydra

    Wake up in Hydra, one of Greece’s most iconic and car-free islands. With its stone mansions, cobblestone streets, and donkey-drawn carts, Hydra feels like a step back in time. Hike up to a monastery for sweeping views or jump into the sea straight from the rocks at Spilia. The harbor buzzes with artists, history, and culture.

  5. Ancient amphitheater of Epidaurus at sunset, surrounded by pine-covered hills in the Peloponnese.

    Day 5

    Epidaurus

    Sail west to Epidavros, where ancient history meets coastal beauty. Visit the world-famous Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, still in use today for open-air performances. In the afternoon, snorkel above the Sunken City, a submerged ancient village just offshore in shallow, clear waters.

  6. Aerial view of Aponisos Beach on Agistri Island, Greece, featuring turquoise water, pine trees, and small islets.

    Day 6

    Agistri

    Your final island stop is Agistri, a quiet, nature-filled island with crystal waters and dense pine forests. Anchor off a secluded cove for a swim, then stroll through Megalochori village for a taste of authentic Greek life. You can also take the tender to nearby uninhabited islets for one last private swim.

  7. Aerial view of Zea Marina in Piraeus, Greece, with superyachts docked in the harbor and the city surrounding the marina.

    Day 7

    Athens

    Cruise back to Athens at a relaxed pace. Enjoy your final breakfast onboard as you return to port and reflect on your week of discovery through the Saronic Gulf. If time allows, visit the Acropolis or enjoy a farewell lunch at a marina-side taverna before check-out.
