Day 1: Athens
Step aboard, settle into your cabin and meet the crew who will be looking after you all week. As the evening light softens over the marina, the group comes together over chilled drinks and small plates, followed by a relaxed dinner on board. An easy first night before we set sail in the morning.
Day 2: Athens → Epidavros
Breakfast on board as we set sail. The first proper sail of the week brings a swim stop and a long lunch at anchor before we reach Epidavros. In the late afternoon, snorkel over the sunken ancient city or wander up to the little theatre above the harbour. The evening closes with dinner under the stars, prepared by your private chef, as the group properly comes together.
Day 3: Epidavros → to a bay near Poros
Start the day ashore with yoga and a guided stretch, followed by an optional short trail run. After lunch, sail to a sheltered bay for a slower afternoon of swimming, time on deck and journaling as the sun goes down.
Day 4: A bay near Poros → Poros
Sail into Poros early, arriving in time for a morning run through town and along the waterfront. Spend the rest of the day exploring the island at your own pace, with plenty of time to discover its streets, local food and waterfront spots. There’s also the option to add a cooking class.
Day 5: Poros → Dokos
Sail across to Dokos and one of the most beautiful bays in the Saronics. Spend the afternoon swimming and paddleboarding in calm, clear water before heading ashore for a sunset trail run across the island.
Day 6: Dokos → Hydra
Set sail early for Hydra, arriving in time to spend the full day exploring this car-free island. Wander the harbour and winding streets before taking on one of the trip’s longer runs, either at sunset or the following morning, depending on the group.
Day 7: Hydra → Athens
Enjoy a slower morning in Hydra, with time for the longer island run if you didn’t take it on the evening before. Then sail back towards Athens, stopping for a final swim and lunch along the way. Depending on timings, there’s the option for one last run in the city before coming together for a final dinner.
Day 8: Athens (Departure)
Enjoy one last breakfast onboard before it’s time to check out and say goodbye.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the cabin options on board?
We offer two ways to book a cabin. You can share a cabin with a travel companion, ideal for couples, friends or family sailing together. Or, if you’d prefer your own private space, you can reserve a full cabin for yourself with solo occupancy.
What are the payment options?
We offer full payment, low deposits (from just £500/$700 per person) and flexible monthly payment plans - full details are shown on the next step when booking, and we’re always here if you need to discuss options.
Are there any additional costs?
You’ll just need to book your own flights and airport transfers, and arrange personal travel insurance, plus cover the cost of any meals and drinks on land.
Tipping is optional and always appreciated. If your skipper and chef make the trip special (and they usually do), we recommend between £200 and £400 per guest, shared between them.
What’s your cancellation and refund policy?
All deposits are non-refundable.
Cancellations made 90 days or more before your sail will receive a refund minus the deposit and any transaction fees. Cancellations made within 90 days of departure are non-refundable.
Refunds will be processed within 10 days of receiving your cancellation request.
If full payment isn’t made by the specified due date, any amount paid to date will be forfeited.
Where do we check in and set sail?
Your Nautica experience begins at the marina in Alimos, Athens, Greece. Check-in is from 5pm on the first day of your trip.
You’ll need to make your own way to the marina - the nearest airport is Athens Airport (ATH), just 40-45 minutes away by taxi.
Ahead of your sail, we’ll send you a handy travel guide with all you need to know - best flights, transfer tips, and nearby hotels if you want to stay a night pre or post-sail. And we’re always here if you need a little extra advice.

Who is the trip for
Your fellow crew
Our trips are mostly joined by people in their late 20s, 30s and 40s who share a love of travel, good food and exploring somewhere new.
Come solo, with a friend or as part of a group. Either way, you’ll be sharing the experience with people who are there for the same reason — to explore, have a great time and meet new people along the way.
