Saronic Gulf weekend route

A long-weekend Saronic circuit from Athens-area bases — sheltered waters and classic island harbour towns.

  • Ideal for crews new to Greek sailing.
  • Hydra is car-free — plan stern-to early in season.
  • Combine with sea trial skills if testing a new cruiser.

Weekend plan

Saturday: Kalamaki → Aegina. Sunday: Aegina → Poros → Hydra or return.

Ideal first Greek sailing — flat water and VHF traffic practice.
