The Details
Activities
All activities are optional and you can choose to either participate or not. Sea activities included Stand Up Paddle Board Excursions, Snorkeling Expeditions and Swimming. Hikes are for beginner to intermediate level and participation is optional.
Yoga & Mediation Practices
Each day begins with optional morning practices—a peaceful moment to yourself before the day unfolds. Start with meditation and breathwork on deck, gently awakening your body and mind as the sun rises over the sea. On calmer mornings, we may float into the day with a SUP yoga session at sunrise, or venture onto land for a grounded, earthy practice to balance the flowing elements of wind and water. Our schedule flows with nature, and as the rhythm of the wind guides us, we’ll stay open to what each day brings. Perhaps one evening, we'll even gather under the stars for a deeply restful Yoga Nidra, letting the sounds of the sea lull us into stillness.
The Islands
Just a short sail from Athens lies a string of sun-drenched gems known as the Saronic Islands—each one unique, full of charm, and perfect for slow, soulful exploration.
From the car-free cobblestone streets of Hydra to the pine-scented shores of Poros, these islands offer the perfect blend of natural beauty, ancient history, and vibrant Greek culture.
Swim in crystal-clear waters, stroll through colorful villages, taste local delicacies at seaside tavernas, and explore hidden beaches only accessible by boat.
The Saronic Gulf is known for its gentle winds and calm seas, making it ideal for families and first-time sailors. Each day brings a new adventure—yet the rhythm is relaxed, allowing time to unwind, connect, and simply enjoy being together.
Whether you're exploring ancient ruins, practicing yoga by the sea, or watching dolphins play in the wake of the boat, the Saronic Islands invite you to slow down, soak it in, and savor the wonder of Greece—together.
