This fascinating itinerary will take us across the waters of two legendary seas: the Ionian and the Aegean, united by the extraordinary Corinth Canal, an engineering feat that still leaves those who travel through it speechless.
After saying goodbye to Patras and its charming city center, we will sail under the imposing Rion-Antirion bridge, which connects the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. From here we will enter the Gulf of Corinth, surrounded by a rugged coastline full of small bays, perfect for anchoring and discovering hidden corners.
Among the places where we will stop are the ancient ports of Navpaktos and Monastiraki, as well as the enchanting island of Nisis Trizonia, ideal for a relaxing stop.
Another point of great charm is the bay of Itea, from which we can climb towards Delphi, an ancient sacred place and famous throughout the world for its oracle. From above, the view of the gulf is simply unforgettable.
The highlight of the trip will certainly be crossing the Corinth Canal, a narrow gap between rock walls that reach 80 meters in height: an experience to live at least once in a lifetime.
After a swim in the crystal clear waters around the islet of Tragonisi, we will head towards the capital. Entering Athens by sea, with the Acropolis looming in the distance, is an exciting sight.
We will dock in the picturesque marina, once the ancient circular port of the city. From here we can set off to discover the archaeological wonders of Athens: the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike — true masterpieces of classical art.
