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  Poros Town (Poros is. - 28 nm)
Poros is situated 32 nautical miles from Piraeus. This is the longest leg (28 miles), yet, with the usual NW breeze of the area, it should be a pleasant
downwind sail. 

Day 3  Old Harbour  (Spetses island - 27 nm)
It is the last of the Saronic Gulf islands, 53 nautical miles from Piraeus, with a great history and the privilege of National recognition for its vital role during the Greek revolution against the Ottoman Empire.  Care is needed of underwater rocks fringing the coast for up to 100m off between the New and the Old harbour.

Day 4  Hydra Town (Hydra island - 15 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. But one of the best things about Hydra is that there are no cars. Everything is moved by donkey, including groceries, building supplies, people and their luggage.
