Athens - Our corporate office, marine services and the majority of our yachts are based here. From Alimos marina, you have the easiest and quickest access to the Argo-Saronic Islands, the Cyclades Islands, and the beautiful eastern Peloponesse coast.

Lefkas - Our Ionian base, from here you can explore the magnificent natural beauty of the Ionian Islands and the magnificent west coast of Peloponesse.

Kos - Home of our "New" Yacht Supply Store and the easiest port to start your charter of the Dodecanese and Turkey's coastline, which is only 5 miles from Kos.

Skiathos - is a great location to start your cruise of the North Aegean or Sporades Islands.

Our Suggested Inineraries:

Argo-Saronic Islands - Lying in the Saronic Gulf, just off the coast of Argolid, this archipelago is the easiest chain of islands to visit from Athens. Salamina,just north and the island closest to Athens. Aegina, the largest of these islands, has an elegant demure left over from it's prosperous past. Angristri lays to the west and has a pleasant little port. Poros, if not for the 300m channel would be part of the Peloponese and it appeals more to walkers with its rolling terrain. Idra (Hydra), has become the "In Place" to see and be seen, and once you've anchored in its port, you will understand why. Spetses, while lacking the chic artistic air of Idra, has become a fashionable retreat especially for Atheneans.

Cyclades - Most commonly known by the picture postcard, stark white cubical homes crawling up the sides of the mountain and a royal blue domed-church somwhere among the roof tops. "Cyclades" comes from the word kyklos (or circle) and at a glance of any map, it's easy to see the islands circling the sacred isle of Dilos (Delos). Of it's tweny-four islands, Naxos and Paros, the larger of the chain, seem to be less affected by tourism then the rest. Mikonos and Ios however are much the opposite. If anything is happening, it's at one of these two islands, and during the summer it's anything goes. The southern most island is Santorini (Thira), best know for it's volcano. Other islands include Kea (Tzia), Kithnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Kimolos, Milos, Antiparos, Folegandros, Amorgos, Syros, Mikres Kyklades, Anafi, and Andros.

Dodecanese - which means "twelve islands" (there are actually fourteen), are the most southerly of the Greek islands and also the most popular in summer because of their warm, dry climate. Naturally spring is the best time to visit if you are looking for lush greenery and wildflowers. After summer sets in, they tend to look dry and barren. Hugging the Turkish coast are the islands of Patmos, Kastellorizo, Kos, one of our base ports and Rhodos, a most popular tourist spot. You would think due to the islands proximity to Turkey, that there would be a strong Turkish influence. Absolutely not the case, they actually have more of an Italian influence, being that the Italians occupied them during the WWII, returning them to Greece in 1948. Other island include Astypalea, Karpathos, Kasos, Simi, Chalki, Tilos, Nisyros, Lipsi, Kalymnos, Telendos, Pserimos, Leros and Kastelloriso.

Ionian - A very popular vacation spot, even in Roman times, these islands are lush and extremely fertile, the exact opposite of their Aegean sisters. Large olive groves, citrus orchards and vineyards fill the islands landscape and when spring arrives, you know it. South of Corfu, the tiny islands of Paxi and Antipax, both with only a handful of inhabitants, guarantee peace and tranquility. Levkas, is the next island south, location of our base. Ithaca, the legendary home of Odysseus,lays further south, just to the east of Kefalonia. Last but not least, Zakinthos.

1 Week 2 Weeks

Sporades - This group of four main islands, gets its name from the Greek word for "scattered". Skiathos, being the smallest, seems to have attracted the most tourism, it has the best beaches. Skiros on the other had is the largest island but it has retained its traditional Greek charm. Skopelos has one of the most beautiful ports in Greece and Alonissos boasts it national marine park.
