THE SPORADES
Known by the Greeks as “the green islands,” the waters around the Sporades in the Gulf of Volvos tend to be sheltered with idyllic sailing conditions and many protected spots to anchor safely for the night. The Sporades lie in the shimmering waters off the eastern coast of Greece where you can unwind and enjoy fine sandy beaches, pine perfumed hillsides, ancient ruins and abundant sea life.

THE IONIAN
The Ionian Sea boasts ideal wind and sailing conditions, a myriad of anchorages, quiet fishing villages and lively resorts all dotted among lush green islands. These ideal sailing conditions combined with wonderful cuisine and culture make the Ionian a superb holiday choice.

THE SARONIC GULF
Discover a mythological land dotted with ancient ruins, striking architecture, quaint waterside towns and rugged hillsides. Fly into Athens and spend a few days in this fascinating city or head straight to the town of Epidavros to begin your adventure in the Peloponnese.
