Morning light slices across deep-blue water as the Jeanneau 54 slips from Lavrio, engine soft, sails rising to catch the Meltemi’s edge. Onboard, four guests spread out between two large double cabins while the hostess lays out croissants and coffee; the skipper charts a week of islands, bays and quiet harbors where the sea nudges you toward a still beach and a glass of white wine.

Pack reef-safe sunscreen

Even moderate seas can make some passengers uncomfortable — bring motion-sickness remedies if you’re sensitive.
Confirm passport and tickets
Check passport expiry and paper-ticket requirements ahead of boarding — some routes require ferry transfers and documentation.
