Sailing destination
Where the crystal blue waters of the Saronic gulf meet the lush green forests stretching down the mountains. Here you will find Palaia Epidaurus, a region mostly known for having the ancient world’s most famous theater. With its own authentic character it will provide a truly genuine Greek experience.
Every charter is private and fully custom. Your captain shapes each day around the weather, the sea and what you feel like - more swimming or more towns, an early start or a slow morning. Anything you read here about Epidavros is inspiration, not a schedule; you can change plans anytime on board.

As mentioned earlier, Epidaurus is better known for its ancient theatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is worth visiting, providing the opportunity to admire the acoustics, the architecture as well as observing the structure itself, which till this very day remains of great interest to many serious architects.
In a bay right beside the town, lies a sunken city awaiting exploration. For those looking to explore, these underwater structures are ideal. At just two meters below sea level, easily visible, simply put on your mask and flippers and let the adventure begin. When approaching this area, request your skipper’s advice and instruction, as it is not deep enough to approach too closely by boat.
The views from Epidaurus port can be super relaxing and revitalizing after a day in the sun, swimming in one of the beautiful natural coves nearby. You may approach the port via dinghy and then enjoy a nice stroll through the little alleys and charming streets. Our skipper can point out local taverns for you to visit along the way. If visiting in August there is an organized festival called “Panigiri” which is a really fun and interesting experience.
Palaia Epidaurus is a great option overall for a sailing trip. You have great sight seeing and pleasant waters to dive. Try to avoid Friday and Saturday afternoons if you are looking for a taxi to go to the ancient theater as there are a lot of visitors arriving to watch one of the performances of the festival organised each years in July - August
1Seeing as you will be visiting by a sailing yacht charter the sole fact that you will anchor in the Epidaurus Gulf is a blessing. Having an incredibly relaxed night, enjoying the gorgeous turquoise waters in the morning and the great scenery all add up to an unforgettable Greek holiday experience.
2Its most precious attraction is the famous ancient theatre, known to be the best preserved theatre available on sight in Greece. A 30 minute drive away from the port (you can hire a taxi to get there), even for those who are not interested in archeology, this area will definitely offer them some intrigue, standing in the same position for more than 2500 years, with tales of legends such as Pericles in ancient times, as well as more recent high profile personalities like Maria Callas and many others.
3Possessing incredible acoustics allowing performances to be heard by everyone in the audience up to the very last row. Its sheer size has made it so widely known from the times of antiquity to present day. Not to mention its unique architecture and interesting design. Visiting Palaia Epidaurus will give you the opportunity to enjoy amazing swims, this historical masterpiece and snorkel above the ancient lost city of Palaia Epidaurus! We strongly encourage a visit to this area and are sure it will familiarize you with Greek culture, history and will result in an excellent experience during your private sailing trip in the Greek islands.
4Built in the 4th century BC, this theater was dedicated to God Dionysus and had an initial capacity of 2,000 spectators. At first, its existence was unknown, because it had been covered by soil and was discovered in 1970. Nowadays, in the small theater of Epidaurus, events take place every summer, part of the Athens and Epidaurus festival, with concerts and theatrical performances.
5Situated within the Archaeological Site of the sanctuary of Asclepius, the museum was built to house the important findings of excavations from that era. The museum has exhibits on display dating from the Archaic to Roman era and they vary from large statues to medical instruments, as well as large segments of significant ancient structures.
6Sanctuary of Asclepius was one of the most important therapeutic centers of Ancient Greek times. Famous around the world, its location will fascinate you! History has shown that Asclepius practiced well-organized medical procedures to treat a variety of diseases holistically and naturally, combining religious practices and other treatments in order to attempt curing the sick.

All our trips are fully customizable. There is no fixed itinerary. The final route is shaped together with you, based on your preferences (how many hours you wish to sail per day, sightseeing or relaxation, hiking, swimming, local cuisine, etc.) and - most importantly - the weather at the time of your trip. The captain adjusts the plan daily to keep the experience relaxed, safe and enjoyable, and you can stay longer at places you love.
The Cyclades offer iconic whitewashed villages, dramatic landscapes and longer open-water crossings - ideal for experienced cruisers and classic Greek scenery. The Saronic is calmer, greener and closer to Athens, with short hops between historic islands - perfect for relaxed sailing and families. We recommend based on your dates, group and pace.
Yes - within reason. A one-week route comfortably covers a cluster of nearby islands. Combining far-apart highlights (e.g. Mykonos and Santorini) is possible but means longer sailing days. We’ll design a realistic route that includes your must-see islands without rushing.
Trips are very rarely canceled. The captain monitors conditions daily and adapts the route to keep you in sheltered, comfortable waters. Safety and enjoyment always come first, and the flexible itinerary means there is almost always a great alternative nearby.
Prices are for the entire boat - you charter the whole catamaran for your group, not per person. This makes it excellent value for families and groups of friends sharing the experience.
Typical extras include fuel, marina/port fees, food and drinks, and the crew gratuity. We provide a clear breakdown in advance so there are no surprises, and you can choose your provisioning and dining preferences.
Usually 5–7 islands or anchorages in a week, depending on distances and your pace. We balance moving and relaxing so you experience variety without spending all day at sea.
Both. We agree a flexible plan before departure, then fine-tune it day by day with your captain based on weather and what you’re enjoying. You stay in control of your holiday.
