Greece

From cold Kyiv we fly to the airport of Athens, take off our sweaters and take a comfortable bus to Alimos marina. On the way, we look at the Greek landscape, get used to the warm weather and endless olive orchards. In the marina we take the yacht at our disposal, get acquainted with the crew, the crew and settle down on the boat. In the evening we go to purchase products for our trip, after which we have dinner with our first Greek salad on the embankment of grandiose Athens.

Our first outing: in the morning we will have breakfast on the yacht, cheer up with coffee and go to the Methana peninsula. If you have long dreamed of learning how to sail a yacht, our captain will be able to explain, show, teach how to tack, set the mainsail or jib on the way. And if not, we will sunbathe on the deck and watch the sailing beauties passing by.

Methana is actually a volcano that has risen straight out of the sea.

We are waiting for the wonderful city of Piraeus, it is located on the shores of the Aegean Sea. The purest blue waters beckon. We will definitely anchor in its bay and swim with fins, snorkel and swim to our heart’s content. And then we will go to Poros, an island in the southwestern part of the Saronic Gulf off the coast of the Peloponnese peninsula.

The coast is literally strewn with small white houses with tiled red roofs – the view from the water is unforgettable! We will rent ATVs and ride across the entire island, looking around, passing pine forests and mountain serpentines at sunset. We will swim on the other side of the coast, work up a brutal appetite and go to dinner with the freshest fish and shrimps on the embankment of the ancient Greek city.

Today we can linger a little on Poros to wander through its narrow, colorful streets, look into the archaeological museum, or simply and slowly drink coffee on the shore, soaking up the idle atmosphere of the south. The island has a fabulously beautiful lemon forest – it’s 30 thousand lemon and orange trees! Worth it to see.

After lunch, we will sail to the deserted bay of Dokos Island, where we will spend the night at anchor. Only us, the sea, the Milky Way overhead instead of city lights, and the sound of splashing waves instead of music. We will be in silence, alone with nature. Bathing in the night, sparkling water… at this time of the year, the sea burns with billions of lights, you just have to touch it with your hand. This phosphoresces plankton, leaving an absolutely fabulous feeling and flickering sparks in deep darkness. Magic.
