![]() Acropolis Museum, Museum of Cycladic Art, and Benaki Museum will give you an overview of Greek culture since prehistoric times and National Archaeological Museum are only some of the must-sees on your list. The museums that you can find in this city are worthwhile and will not send you on a road of boredom. Acropolis gives you a breathtaking view of the entire city and there are quite a few ancient jewels to explore there, such as the Theater of Dionysus. For example islands Poros, Hydra, Aegina, Methana, and some nice destinations located on the mainland on the Peloponnese peninsula like Ermioni, Porto Cheli, and much more.Ĭhoosing Athens as your starting point gives you time to explore the oldest European capital city (a fact that makes it even more fascinating) and learn something more about its rich past, mythology, and culture. Saronic and Argolic gulfs have plenty to offer, navigation is simple and more comfortable, and there are some beautiful destinations and towns to visit and enjoy your cruise. That's why we recommend sailing to Saronic and Argolic Gulf when chartering a yacht in Athens or Lavrion in the summer. For example, through our work experience, we know that in the months of late June, July and August it will be very hard to find a skipper who will want to take guests to the Cyclades area, especially if it's only a one-week cruise. So, in the summer Cyclades are not recommended for inexperienced sailors. Why is that?Ĭyclades sailing area is tricky because distances between the islands are much greater than in Saronic and Argolic Gulf, and the Cyclades area is more open and exposed to Meltemi winds and their swelling. But, we must highlight the fact that the Cyclades sailing area is a tricky sailing ground, especially for newcomers in sailing, and especially in summer, when strong Meltemi winds are blowing from the north. ![]() Of course, from Athens and its marinas where charter bases are located, you can sail to the Cyclades area too, as well as from Lavrion charter bases. By "Athens" sailing area we mean mostly the sailing area of the Saronic and Argolic Gulfs, which are located south of Athens and the Ithaca peninsula.
