Relax and freediving in Saronic Gulf
Join on our favorite cruise in the Saronic Gulf and enjoy the perfect balance of sailing, freediving, and learning about history. In addition, we will add a famous Greek hospitality, the sun, and a lot of sailing experiences.
From Athens, we sail to the city of Epidaurus, where we visit the world-famous ancient Greek theater (do you remember from history lessons the phrase "and when you dropped the coin, it was heard at the top, in the last line"?) The next morning we will spend freediving in the waters of the "Turtle Island" and in good weather, we will unpack a floating drink-bar. On the way to the Methana peninsula, where we bathe in the thermal baths, we will snorkel in the sunken city. We can also visit the romantic island of Hydra, where they have decided to cancel all motorized vehicles and only mules and your own feet are used for transport. On the way back we will discover the abandoned remains of Poseidon's shrine on the island of Poros and we will also stop on the "pistachio" island of Aegina, where not only the well-preserved temple of the goddess Athena Achaia awaits us but also shopping of pistachios in any form (ice cream, shampoo, liqueur ...).
No previous experience with sailing needed.

The crew makes provisions shopping in the day of embarkation. If the whole crew agrees, we can make the provisions shopping for a trip for a fee before your embarkation. For more information on catering see. FAQ.
During the trip, we also often sail by a good restaurant or two where we stop and eat.

ACCOMMODATION
SAILING LEVEL
These sailing trip are possible to do for most travellers! No previous sailing experience is required. If you're a beginner, we want to turn you into a sailor as quickly as possible. If you are experienced you'll get challenges and responsibility that match your level. We want you to take part in the routines on board the sailboat, whether it is sailing, anchoring, navigating, washing up, cooking, clean the boat or contribute in other ways when required.
Although sailing is not difficult, crews must be prepared for occasional sailing in strong winds and in more severe conditions. For longer passages crews are also expected to cooperate actively in the management of the sailboat, communicativeness and a certain amount of mental and physical resistance is required.
EQUIPMENT
No special equipment is needed. Usually, you will be ok with standard equipment and clothes for a summer holiday by the sea. The list of mandatory and compulsory equipment will be sent after sail trip enrolment.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
If EU citizen, you only need your ID card for travelling to Greece. If not EU citizen or not sure, in your interest check with the embassy if you need a visa or other entry permit.
ENVIRONMENT and SUSTAINABILITY
Both sailing and backcountry trips are environmentally friendly activities and we sail as much as we can and use the engine as little as possible. We encourage crew and participants to travel as environmentally-friendly as possible, and we use local ingredients and resources as far as possible. We also motivate crew members to collect litter and clean ocean trash from beaches.
We believe that sailing is an exercise in sustainability; we move with the wind and we have limitations on things like water, diesel, electricity and food. In order to run sustainable - knowledge, patience, agility and hard work are required. The same can be said about many other things that one tries to do in a sustainable way.
