South-east of Athens, closer to the airport than to the city. Kea is the first island out.
The most sheltered water in Greece. The meltemi reaches the gulf only from mid-July to late August, and weaker than in the Cyclades. The dial also prices the yachts above for that month.
Typical values for Athens: climate averages from weather2travel.com, wind from sailing guides. Prices: the lowest and highest week on this page, with VAT and APA.
The Saronic Gulf is the easiest start in Greece. You fly into Athens, board in a marina near the city, and reach the first island the same afternoon. The islands are close to each other, so the days are short at sea and long at anchor.
It is the most sheltered water of the four areas. The meltemi reaches the gulf only from mid-July to late August, and weaker than in the Cyclades. That makes it a good choice for a first charter, for young children and for a shorter week.
The captain plans the week day by day, around the wind. These are within reach from Athens and Lavrio.
What people ask us before a week from Athens. Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp: a person in Santorini answers.
WhatsApp usThe Yachting in Greece teamOur team in Fira answers, and now and then our labrador.
Where do the yachts start?
In the marinas of Athens: mostly Alimos, on the coast south of the city, and Lavrio, closer to the airport. Each yacht’s page says which.
Can we sail from Athens to the Cyclades?
You can, but most of a day goes on the crossing each way. For the Cyclades, a yacht based there gives you more islands in the same week.
Is the Saronic good for a short charter?
Yes. The islands are close together, so three to five nights work well here, better than in the open Aegean.
