It promises resplendent Greek seas, glowing pebble coves, snorkelling reefs and pine-scented walks, all just one hour by boat from the buzzing Greek capital. You can get up close and personal with this lesser-known, corner of the city on one of our half-day or full-day sailing cruises on the Saronic Gulf.

Enjoy enthralling tales of ancient history, snorkel in aquamarine seas, and taste bud-tinging Greek cuisine – think local wines and oregano-topped tomato salads served on the breezy deck of the catamaran. It's possible to pick between morning day cruises laden with refreshing dips and romantic sunset catamaran cruises that culminate with beautiful light shows over the gulf.
