About this trip
This 7-hour private cruise along the Athens Riviera offers a spectacular blend of coastal charm, ancient history, and laid-back luxury. Starting from Varkiza, you’ll travel across the sparkling Saronic Gulf, stopping at stunning swim spots and discovering the tranquil beauty that lies just beyond the city.
Your journey begins with a cruise toward Patroklos Island, a rocky islet with emerald waters and peaceful bays, perfect for a first swim or snorkeling session. From there, you’ll continue to Fleves, an uninhabited island that feels like your own private paradise. With crystal-clear waters and untouched nature, it's the ideal place for diving off the boat or paddleboarding.
The highlight of the tour is your approach to the dramatic cliffs of Cape Sounio, where the Temple of Poseidon stands watch over the sea. As you drop anchor nearby, you’ll have time to enjoy snacks, drinks, and a refreshing swim with views of one of Greece’s most iconic landmarks.
This cruise is perfect for small groups or families looking for a blend of exploration and relaxation. With fresh fruits, snacks, beverages, and a sea-guided tour included, you won’t have to lift a finger — just enjoy the sun, the sea, and the Aegean breeze.
