Confirmed cabin charter dates 2023
Day 1
Our journey begins on the small, historic island of Salamina, just a short 15min ferry ride away from Perama harbor, Athens. Salamina has an illustrious history. In 480BC,
one of the largest naval battles in Greek antiquity was courageously fought and won against the Persian fleet, despite the Greek fleet being vastly outnumbered. Today,
Salamina is a non-pretentious, bustling island suburb for Athenians with many seaside restaurants and a local market. It is also home to the Hellenic Naval Headquarters on its Northern coast.
We will welcome you aboard at 15:00 for drinks and appetizers while we go through the important safety information and general briefing. While you settle in and enjoy your floating hotel and a sunset on the sea, we will make our way our first stop in Agios Georgios Bay where we will spend our first night at anchor and visit the local tavernas on the beach front.
Day 2
In the morning we will enjoy a nice leisurely cruise to the small cluster of islands north of Aegina for some snorkelling and general sunbathing laziness. You can try your
hand at Stand up paddle boarding, kayaking or even windsurfing. We will have a BBQ on board, spending the night at anchor under the stars. For those of you so inclined
we can spin the decks and have a bit of a party, or even persuade the captain to get his guitar out.
Day 3
A place for the archelogy lovers. You will have the chance to visit the Sanctuary of Asklepios, the son of Apollo and the god of medicine. Other sights include the ancient amphitheatre that’s still in use today for productions and the ruins of a medieval castle. There is the chance to snorkel over the sunken ruins of Epidavros sunken city
when we are moored in the bay. Plenty of chances to do more paddle boarding around this beautiful cove. We will also stay here for the evening taking dinner in one
of the local tavernas.
Day 4
Try horse riding, or if you have the experience go on a longer trek through the pine forests and fruit groves. Explore the salt pan, Metochi, and the church of Panagia with
the most amazing panoramic view. Come snorkelling with us and we will guide you on a tour of these crystal waters. There is also a dive center where you can try diving
for the first time, or go on a tour if you are experienced. Later, we will make an evening cruise down to Poros taking dinner on board.
Day 5
Poros is acclaimed for its hike to the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon (built around 520BC) and its amazing views. Besides Poseidon’s temple, there is much to enjoy about this romantic island. Visit the famous clock tower that was built in 1927 or the archaeological Museum of Poros. Take one of the cheap government provided bikes, or enjoy the free shuttle bus around the island. There is also opportunity to lounge on one of the many beautiful beaches and snorkel on a wreck of a large fishing trawler. In the evening diner will be taken ashore at one of the many tavernas.

For the early risers there is a chance to do some more sea related fun or for some more exploration before we make our way in the early afternoon to the northern coast of Agistri and the beautiful towns of Skala and Megalohori. There is also the opportunity to visit another uninhabited island where you can explore the ruins of some ancient settlements and swim in the crystal waters. Electric bikes can be hired in the town of Megalohori for those of you keen on further exploration of the island.
Day 7
In the morning we will set a course for Aegina. The island was once the temporary Capital of Greece (1827-1829) during the War of Independence and offers tourists access to the famous Temple of Aphaea, the archaeological museum of Kolona, the Cathedral of Aegina, and more.
If you are interested in exploring, make sure to let us know so we can help you with arrangements of this stunning island. Take a horse and carriage ride around the harbour or sit with a coffee and watch the world go by. In the late afternoon we will make passage back to a small secluded bay on Salamina for dinner and our final night together.
Designed and built in Athens in 1985, her Greek name γλάρος translates as “seagull”. Glaros has been fitted out for comfortable cruising and relaxation and can take up to 10 guests in addition to the crew. She is rigged for sailing but also equipped with two Mercedes engines so we don’t have to rely on the wind. Above deck is a large wheelhouse, saloon and galley area where you’ll find a large sofa and seating around our long wooden dining table. We steer the boat from this room as well so you can get involved with the passage planning, chartwork and even driving the boat under the tuition of our captain if you wish.
Glaros has a completely independent crew quarters at the stern so guests get complete privacy during their stay.
Head downstairs from the saloon and there are four double berth cabins and one twin cabin – each with en-suite and showering facilities and a window that opens to the outside. The upper bunk in the twin cabin is a bit lower in height, so more suitable for children or skinny people!
Vital 🇧🇪 – The calmest member of the crew and owner. Vital can regularly be seen driving the tender and running the anchor.
Daisy 🇳🇱 – Your chief stew as well as a deckhand. She is also a scuba diver and cooks up a mean Greek Pastitsio.
AJ 🇬🇧 – Legend has it AJ is a reformed rock star. He’s also a scuba instructor, climber and from Cornwall in England.
Mowzer 🇬🇷 – The most famous member of the crew, Mowzer is a bit of a celeb on TikTok where he’s been seen over half a million times.
