After taking over your boat, depending on the time of your arrival, you can visit Athens, rest, go for a swim or -time permitting- set sails.

Day 2  Hydra (Hydra island - 36 nm)
Hydra is perhaps the most beautiful port village in whole of Greece.
A tiny harbor ringed with cafes, restaurants and gold shops is surrounded by a village of stone houses and villas that rise up the hills like an amphitheatre.  From Alimos to Hydra is a pleasant 5-6 hrs downwind sail.

Day 3  Livadi  (Serifos island - 60 nm)
Serifos is pretty spectacular. With it's many mountains and the old Chora on the hill behind the port of Livadi, Serifo's Chora is correctly characterized as a traditional settlement.  From Hydra Town head N and set a course to the S cape of Serifos.  The distance is long, so you should rather start early.  When you approach Livadi Bay you should expect strong gusts of wind.  If you don't find a berth on the S side of the quay (which will protect you from the fierce gusts during the night) use as much chain as possible and make sure your anchor is holding.
