Write your own Greek odyssey

One of the world’s oldest cities, Athens’ location in Southern Greece made it an important gateway to Europe, Asia, and Africa. Today, Athens remains beloved of sailors for much the same reason. Our base in Athens’ Zea Marina offers rewarding conditions for experienced sailors, with strong winds and exhilarating blue water crossings between the Saronic and Cycladic islands satisfying your taste for adventure.

The human race may belong to Africa’s Great Rift Valley, but Western civilization can trace its origins to Athens. Beyond the history, culture, and lifestyle of this 5,000-year-old city, the Mediterranean offers a world of opportunities for coastal and ocean sailors to explore. Greece boasts more than 2,000 islands of great variety, including the lush and historic islands of the Saronic Gulf and the world-famous Cyclades.

Picturesque Kea lies a stone’s throw from Athens itself, offering sandy beaches, traditional fishing villages, ancient ruins, and even the remains of a bronze-age settlement. Whatever you want from a Greek sailing vacation - fine food and drink, open water adventures, sun-drenched beaches or wild nights out - it’s all in reach on an Athens sailing vacation.
