Velactive route
Saronic Islands – Greece
Russian Bay
Russian Bay is our first stop on our journey. We will anchor in this beautiful spot, which will serve as our crystal water pool for the afternoon activities. Prepare for some exciting Survival-style challenges on the inflatable water park, or take a free kayak or SUP and explore the nearby secluded small island with a chapel. You can go for a short relaxing hike up the cliff or prepare for some sunset stretching and meditation near the ruins of an old WWII Russian fort.
We’ll end the day with a delicious barbeque dinner, and probably the best-grilled sea bream in Greece at the traditional Greek tavern on the beach.
Hydra
Hydra is a small beautiful island, where Elizabeth Taylor and Leonard Cohen bought properties. The streets are narrow and steep, without parking lots. Donkeys are the only means of transport used on the island. No motors on Hydra!
The port is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee or a shopping session in the chic shops where you can often find nice and quality products.
Morning and evening workouts from the panoramic cliffs of Hydra will be the highlight of the week.
We close the day at a beach bar seated on a high cliff with a stunning sunset view, where we can relax with some good music and cocktails.
Dokos
Dokos is as beautiful as it is wild, the only sign of civilization being the ruins of a Byzantine castle. In the north-east of the island there is a wide bay, accessible only by boat.
We will moor here and have a wild corner of nature just for us. This is the best place for snorkeling, trekking to the top of the island and enjoying a nice dinner onboard under the stars.
Poros
Poros is separated from the mainland by a narrow channel. The romantic atmosphere, narrow streets, taxi boats that connect the mainland with the city of Galata and the seafront terraces where you can watch dozens of yachts moor, may remind you of Venice and its charm.
The town is built in the form of an amphitheater, with traditional large houses and cobblestone streets. At its heart there is the promenade with many taverns, shops and terraces – the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and a delicious gelato.
