The day starts in the nautical area of Athens, with relaxed boarding and a forecast check before setting off on the Bali 5.8 Catamaran for charter in Athens.
After leaving the Athens coast behind, the route points towards Methana; the main anchorage then comes at Poros.
The return is unhurried, using the final leg to tidy the deck and see Athens from the sea.
At the end of the day, the boat returns to Athens with a balanced mix of sailing, swimming and shared time on board.
