Experiencing the Athenian way of life in the sun and sea

37
What & Where: Day cruises on the Athenian Riviera
Why Go: To experience the Athenian coastline in style and comfort
We Loved: The sunset cruise with superb food and swimming in crystal clear waters

Sailing down the Athens Riviera, swimming in the most beautiful waters, lunching on-board whilst parked in a tranquil bay off the Athenian shoreline and viewing an hour-long spectacular sunset. 

Did I mention this was still in Athens?

Two of the greatest pleasures this city has to offer is that it is a coastal town and you can get out onto the water as early as April and anytime through to early October. The ‘Athens Riviera’ is a term recently coined by the Greeks that refers to almost 60 kilometres of coastline that starts about 20 minutes south of the city centre. Leoforos Posidonos Road snakes down through the upmarket suburbs of Glyfada and Vouliagmeni, all the way down to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon.

To hire a vessel in Athens usually requires a commitment of two or three days and can often be quite costly. But now, the young and energetic team behind this luxurious sailing experience bring their skills and know-how from working in the upscale tourism sector in Santorini.

The benefits of boarding a catamaran is a much more relaxed and smooth ride compared to sailing on a yacht. Don’t leave Athens until you have sailed along her beautiful coastline.
