Set off from Nafplio’s historic Old Port aboard the Jeanneau Sun Dance 36, a sleek 36-foot sailing yacht designed for intimate groups of up to 10 guests. Nafplio Sun Sail’s Private Full Day Cruise delivers an immersive eight-hour voyage along Greece’s picturesque eastern Peloponnese coast, making a series of stops at secluded beaches near Xiropigado that can only be reached by water. These hidden coves, framed by limestone cliffs and the deep blue waters of the Aegean, provide ideal spots for swimming and snorkeling in vibrant underwater landscapes rich with marine life.
This trip offers far more than just coastal views. As you glide past the islands of Romvi and Daskalio near Tolo, the onboard captain and host share thoughtful insights about the region’s layered history—where Ottoman and Venetian influences still mark the architecture and villages ashore. You’ll also enjoy Mediterranean flavors crafted from local ingredients: seasonal fruits, sandwiches, and snacks paired with a curated selection of regional wines, beers, and traditional spirits like ouzo and raki. The shaded decks and cushioned lounges offer relaxing comfort throughout the day, while amenities like snorkeling gear, a stand-up paddleboard, and even a GoPro to capture the journey come standard.
Nafplio itself sits in the northeastern Peloponnese, a gateway to Greece’s rich historical heartland combined with stunning coastal scenery.
