Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A one-week Saronic Gulf charter itinerary covers destinations reachable from two Athens-area bases: Alimos Marina and the Olympic Marina at Lavrio.0:48 The recommended route runs south to Poros — roughly a 4-hour passage, 30 nautical miles from Alimos — with a warning to arrive at Poros Marina early, as stern-to berths fill fast and swell above Beaufort 6 makes the main marina untenable; the channel anchorage is the fallback.0:46 From Poros the route loops through Methana (thermal springs, well-protected anchorage), Moni island (three anchorage options, strong recommendation to hike to the summit for peacocks and views), Perdika on Aegina (crowded but worth visiting for the Saronissa taverna and its seafood), Agkistri (Aponisos anchorage, Dragonera beach, Skala with Saronic meltemi wind warnings), Palea Epidavros (tight entrance between two red lights, maximum 20-meter chain, taxi to the ancient theatre of Epidavros for €45 return), Nea Epidavros, and Kyra island.3:43 Aegina town offers pistachios and local products; Agia Marina on Aegina's east side is poorly protected and the return leg from there directly to Athens is flagged as the hardest passage in the gulf — always return via the western side.13:21 The final night before returning to Athens suits an anchorage at Peristera, Kanakia, or Kaki Vigla, then a short hop back via Vimbridge.13:51 Arriving early on the charter's first day to practice maneuvers in the marina before departing is strongly advised.16:15
