The bow parts the Aegean like a promise as Athens falls astern and the Saronic Gulf widens around you. Pine-scented headlands and cliffs slide past; the sea nudges the hull and invites you to swim. On deck, the sun warms towels while the skipper plots a course toward Poros’ turquoise coves and Aegina’s tangle of streets.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply and reapply biodegradable sunscreen—shallow Posidonia beds are sensitive and sunscreen washes off when you swim.
Wear non-slip sandals
Decks and cobbled island streets can be slippery; closed-heel sandals or light boat shoes improve footing when boarding and exploring.
Carry small cash
Many island tavernas and kiosks accept cash only—bring small euros for pistachio stands and waterfront cafés.
Prepare for sun and wind
A lightweight windbreaker and hat protect against spray and afternoon breezes; sunglasses with a retainer help on deck.
