1: Sat	0	Check in. Poros The small town of Poros, which bears the same name as the island, is only 30 miles from Athens but a world apart. Poros: Sunset over the West Quay, pontoon (since expanded) and Navy Bay A popular retreat for Athenians, the island retains it’s “Greek-ness”, with a range of traditional restaurants, a fish market, and good selection ...
2: Sun	10	Perdika A charming fishing village, Perdika is one of my favourite spots in the Saronic, with it’s row of restaurants on a terrace overlooking the harbour. Believe it or not, it also boasts the world’s first 360o camera obscura, essentially a huge pinhole camera giving an all around view. Like many Greek villages, Perdika also has some ruins ...	Perdika is one of my favourite
3: Mon	14	Epidavros / Palaia Epidavros The main reason to pause your charter yacht in Palaia Epidavros is to see the impressive and well preserved Greek amphitheatre which dates from 4BC and is still used for performances in high season.

5: Wed	15	Aegina Town Aegina town, on the island of the same name, is known for its pistachio nuts and natural sponges. Alongside the harbour front cafes you’ll find an excellent fish market complete with several fish restaurants, and boats on the quay selling fruit and veg. One can’t help but think the fruit should be in the market and the fish ...
6: Thu	14	Vathi Vathi is a sweet little place with just three or four restaurants, no shops, one bar and a volcano (inactive)! It’s a small fishing harbour with limited space so one to avoid on Friday and Saturday nights when it gets over run with boats out from Athens for the weekend. The first couple of restaurants nearest ...
7: Fri	20	Poros The small town of Poros, which bears the same name as the island, is only 30 miles from Athens but a world apart.
