By sea taxi you can visit the port of Hydra. Hydra, built in the shape of an Amphitheatre on a slope overlooking the Argosaronic gulf, is one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Traditional stone mansions, narrow cobblestoned streets, secluded squares and above all the banning of cars and the use of around 500 donkeys as means of public transportation, explain the reason why Hydra preserved its distinctive atmosphere through the passage of time. The island experienced exceptional economic growth in the past thanks to its great naval and commercial activity. The Hydriots contributed significantly also to the 1821 War of Independence as their powerful fleet participated in crucial sea battles. 300 churches and 6 monasteries spread around the island as well as the cannons and the statues of the Independence War heroes still standing at the balconies of the islands create a romantic mosaic.

What makes Dokos so popular among yachters is the picturesque Skintos bay which offers clear waters and shelter from all winds. Dokos is ideal for those who love wild landscapes, peace, tranquility and stunning sunset views!. The island offers important historical findings of more than 8.000 old and the oldest shipwreck of the world After lunch we sail to Spetses island. Spetses, an island boasting a long naval tradition, is famous for its significant contribution to the 1821 War of Independence. It was here that the revolution flag was raised on 3rd April 1821. The island has managed to retain its individual traditional character thanks to its well-preserved grand captain mansions, still bearing eloquent witness to the island’s glorious past. The picturesque old harbor and Dápia, a tourist and commercial center where the heart of the island’s entertainment beats, are the trademarks of the town of Spetses. Take a romantic trip around the island in horse-drawn carriages and admire the grand mansions adorning the narrow-cobbled streets of the island.

Over the last decades the area has become a tourist attraction leading many locals into the tourist business. If you like hiking trails, you should definitely cross the small Katafyki Gorge that links Ermioni with Fournoi. It’s a half an hour walk that will surely entice you. The landscape is of unique beauty, consisting of rocks, caves, rich vegetation and the little church of Saint Nicholas, built in 1740, with ruins of medieval walls in its yard. The old historic bridge takes you to the nearby picturesque village of Fournoi via an enchanting landscape of pines and running waters.

After breakfast we sail to Poros Island with a stop at the bay of Soupia for swimming and lunch.As you enter the harbour of Poros, you’ll get a fine view of the town, built up the hillsides.

Among the displayed items you will see finds from ancient shipwrecks retrieved from the Gulf area. Take a trip to the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon on the north part of Poros..

We sail to the Love Bay at Poros. Breakfast on board we continue to Epidaurus with a stop at Aghios Georgios for lunch. Ancient Epidaurus (or Palaia (old) Epidaurus as it is otherwise called) is a small but charming port of the Saronic Gulf, with a rich history that is lost in the depths of the centuries and generously provides the visitor with sea, natural beauty and archeological sites. Built on the same spot where the ancient city was located, it stretches to the innards of a narrow bay. The view is dazzling from the pine-covered mountain Akros. The locals call the small peninsula "Island", and not unjustly. There, visitors will meet the Small Ancient Theater, deep blue beaches for diving, and good tourist infrastructure.
