A low-slung speedboat slips away from the harbor, the city’s roar thinned to a distant hum as the Aegean opens to horizon. Salt wind pushes at your jacket, the sun painting the water in quicksilver. Your skipper eases the engine and you pick a spot on deck; in minutes the coastline of the Athens Riviera—rocky coves, low scrub, and vacation villas—slides by like a changing map.

Pack reef-safe sunscreen
The Aegean sun is strong and reflection off the water intensifies exposure—use reef-safe SPF to protect both skin and sea life.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phones, passports, and a light layer dry while you swim or move about the deck.
Prepare for seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before departure—open decks help, but conditions can change quickly.
