DAY 1 – Saturday
Sailing in Greece sounds relaxing, and it is, but it also requires some preparation. As soon as part of the crew arrives in port between 2 and 4 pm, you and your crew will go shopping. We'll gladly provide you with a shopping list, as you'll be cooking and eating together on the yacht during our trip. Saturday is an organization day, and we usually leave port on Sunday. Check-in on the yacht is after 5 pm. Tonight, we're having dinner at Constantinos' restaurant near the port.
DAY 2 – Sunday
After a sailing yacht briefing, it's time to cast off! You and other young sailors will begin your sailing holiday in Greece, heading south. Since sailing is an integral part of a sailing holiday with sailwithus, our skipper will teach you the basics. Sailing beginners will learn everything they need. Then it's off to the port of Aegina for a refreshing swim stop.
DAY 3 – Monday
Every day is different. Every day is simply beautiful. Today, we continue our sailing route from Aegina southeastwards, past Poros to Spetses. During your trip, a fantastic bay awaits you in the northwest, where you can anchor peacefully and enjoy the stars after a sundowner. You look forward with excitement to the first days of your eventful sailing week.
DAY 4 – Tuesday
After a fun-filled swim in the clear water, you and your skipper and crew will sail a short distance to Ermioni Bay on the Peloponnese coast. You'll anchor in the bay, which is not far from Spetses. Ermioni is a charming little town, and you'll moor at the pier in the late afternoon. In the evening, you'll all go to a cozy Greek restaurant for dinner.
DAY 5 – Wednesday
Today you'll sail for a short time. After just under an hour, you'll head for Hydra. This unique port, where only donkeys and horse-drawn carriages are used for transportation, will amaze you: it's horseshoe-shaped. During the day, you can stroll through the town's narrow streets and treat yourself to a frappé, the typical Greek iced coffee, while listening to relaxing music. If you're feeling brave, jump off the cliffs in front of the bar into the crystal-clear sea!
DAY 6 – Thursday
In Hydra, you probably stayed up all night. Are you a night owl or an early bird? Either way, you'll set sail a little later. After a 30-minute sail, you'll reach Frog Bay. After a refreshing swim, you'll continue on to Poros. Fancy a shore excursion by scooter? In the evening, the Greek Mikelos awaits the crew at his charming restaurant. You can moor your yacht right outside his door.
DAY 7 – Friday
Today you'll relax in the turquoise waters off the north side of Agistri Island. After giving your tan a final touch, it's time for some fun sailing. After your swim, it's time to return to Alimos Kalamaki. You'll arrive in the port of Athens between 3 and 6 pm. Together, you'll reminisce about your experiences. One thing is certain: you'll look back on an eventful week of sailing in Greece.
DAY 8 – Saturday
Your fantastic sailing holiday in Greece is coming to an end. You packed your things on Friday. At 9 a.m., you both sadly disembarked from the yacht. You saw and experienced so much, relaxed, and made new friends. Sailing in Greece – you think: That was pure sailing fun. That was incredibly good. That was simply sailwithus! Bye, bye – until next time!
Before setting sail, you'll do the shopping together. The yacht's galley is also well-equipped. Every sailing trip is meticulously planned. Spontaneous excursions and detours are still possible at any time. The crew decides together what they feel like doing, depending on the wind and weather.
