Welcome to your unforgettable sailing adventure in Greece, where bronzing
under the eternal Mediterranean sun need only be interrupted by swim stops
and cocktail hour. Starting and finishing in Athens, we’ll navigate the sparkling
seas, tree-covered islands and rocky coastlines, and then head ashore to
embrace the island life. Think: quaint towns, ancient ruins, buzzing nightlife and
irresistible dishes. Did we mention gyros?

Trip Itinerary
Day 1 - Athens to Agistri
Break out the anchor tattoos and hoist the sails. We're pointing our compass to Agistri. Work up an appetite swimming the blue seas
surrounding the uninhabited island of Aponisos, and then hunt down a well-earned Grecian feast in the harbour.
Day 2 - Agistri to Epidaurus
Leave Agistri behind and set course for Epidaurus - a spot that has so much charm you'll want to stay out late. Don't miss the ancient
amphitheatre and beachside bistros. Explore by day, dance by night.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Day 3 - Epidaurus to Poros
Poros is about as Greek as you're going to get as far as photo-ops go. Go old-school at the temple of Poseidon or go swimming before
another epic sunset session. Yep, this is the life.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Day 4 - Poros to Ermioni
Cast off and head for Ermioni. It's ranked as Greece's most historical village, so grab some gyros, pick a century and set your watch to island
time. Also: an underwater archaeological site that'll have you mesmerised for days.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Day 5 - Ermioni to Hydra
Enjoy swim stops aplenty at the uninhabited island of Dokos, and then it's off to Hydra - where wheeled vehicles are banned. Cue
cobblestoned alleyways and romantic vibes. It's not called the gem of the Aegean for nothing.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Day 6 - Hydra to Aegina
Charts out and on to Aegina today, but not before a swim stop at the island of Moni. Your mission: hunt down the best fish in Perdika's
seaside tavernas, channel your inner goddess at Athena's ancient temple and Instagram some more old-school ruins. Soak it all in - this is
your last night onboard.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Day 7 - Aegina to Athens
Have a swim, grab some sun and set sail to Athens. You might need to hang up your captain's hat, but the title is earned for life. Polish your
peg-leg and chat to us about your next expedition today.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch

Accommodation
The sailing yacht is generally 16 metres in length and can comfortably carry up to eight passengers. There will be a range of 2-4 yachts
running together for the duration of the season.
Cabins
The cabins are generally quite small as there is limited space on the boat so please pack light. We suggest you bring a small bag rather than a
large suitcase as many of the boats do not have adequate space to accommodate these.
If you are a solo traveller, you will always be sharing a twin room with someone of the same sex.
Boat Crew
Your boat will have a captain, who is solely responsible for the boat while at sea, and it is important you heed his advice at all times, for your
own safety. All our captains come from this area and have been sailing this coastline for many years, so rest assured you’re in capable hands.
Meals
On your trip all breakfasts and lunches are included on the boat (except breakfast on the first day and lunch on the last day). However, no
evening meals are included as you are free to go and explore each port/ town you dock in.
Please note: Lunch will not be served on Saturday arrival. Evening meals are at your own expense, and you will find different options at each
port/town you dock in.
You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages on board and drinks can be purchased at a number of locations at the ports we stop
at. There are cool boxes available on the yacht to keep drinks cold, but please keep in mind that these are shared amongst all the guests. We
will provide water throughout your trip.
If you have any dietary requirements we will make every effort to cater to your specific needs, as long as you advise your travel agent or
Topdeck Trip Consultant when you book. Please be aware that it may not be possible to cater for every single dietary requirement, but we
will always try our best to arrange it. However, we cannot cater for tastes or dislikes.
No Tip Necessary
Your Topdeck crew never expect tips themselves and will not ask for any; that’s not what friends do! We also know how much tipping can
cost you. So go ahead, spoil yourself with the money you will save by travelling with Topdeck (just don’t forget Mum’s souvenir).
