Sailing in Epidavros-Saronic Gulf

Epidavros is located on the opposite side of the Saronic Gulf to Athens. This flotilla sailing offers scenic, line-of-sight coastal cruising, suitable for confident sailors with a reasonable amount of experience.

In spring, there are good light sailing conditions with stronger Meltemi winds in summer although not as strong as in the Sporades. Winds are generally consistent and from a southerly direction, ranging from 5 -20 knots (6 - 23 mph), which tend to drop off in the evening. 

The tidal range is minimal and summer temperatures average a very pleasant 86 F (30 C).

Epidavros-Saronic Gulf Highlights

A Saronic Gulf flotilla vacation from Sunsail’s base at Epidavros is the best way to explore some of the history and mythology of Greece, stopping at deserted bays and picturesque villages along the way.

  • Panormous Skopelos

    Panormous is the biggest resort on the island of Skopelos with visitors drawn to its spectacular beach of dazzling white stones and clear, turquoise water. Other sandy beaches are within easy reach. After the remoteness of some of the outer Sporades, a Panormous Skopelos boat charter allows you to re-acclimatize to the world of cafes, bars and tavernas. The anchorage at Blo is much favoured by yachties.

  • Patitiri Alonissos

    There’s an air of boho-chic about Alonissos, which is home to a few galleries and alternative therapists. The island is popular with walkers because of a network of trails that criss-cross the island... they range from  gentle to more challenging. Moor your Patitiri Alonissos boat charter on the Patitiri town quay and discover for yourself the charm of one of the most rugged and beautiful of the Sporades islands.

  • Pegadi

    One of the delights of a Pegadi boat charter is the ability to pause for a while, admiring the charming and unspoilt village along the shores of the beautiful gulf of Volos. After a walk up the hill to the lookout tower of Achilles, who is said to have embarked on his journey to Troy from here, enjoy a delicious meal and a wine at one of the excellent tavernas on the harbour.

  • Peristiri

    A Peristiri boat charter is the ultimate get away from it all. Here at this remote and uninhabited island in the Sporades there is nothing to interfere with your relaxation. Make sure you have a good book, the makings of a barbecue and a cold drink. That’s all you’ll need.
