Step aboard Sun Odyssey 490 – 5 cab and the day is easy to imagine: early coffee in Lavrio, a course for Kea, a thoughtfully chosen bay and the late light returning over the deck. It is an appealing base for exploring this part of the Adriatic without turning the route into a race. On board, 5 cabins and 3 bathrooms divide privacy and daily routines naturally, an important detail for an experienced crew that enjoys adapting the route to the wind. With Syros as the middle stop, the route can extend to Vourkari or return to shelter without making the experience feel incomplete.

The character of Sun Odyssey 490 – 5 cab is clearest from the deck: 14,42 m of length for sharing roles and 4,49 m of beam so common life is not confined to the table. This 2024 sailing yacht is attractive for an experienced crew that enjoys adapting the route to the wind, especially when Kea opens the day and Vourkari remains an alternative.
Between Kea and Syros, the party can alternate cruising, swimming and time ashore without filling every hour. Vourkari is available for those wanting to go farther, but a shorter route still gives a complete experience.
As a guide, the price starts at €2,500/week. The booking is much clearer when confirmation lists consumption, cleaning, berths, extras and deposit terms. The party can then plan the remaining budget for food and time ashore.
Sun Odyssey 490 – 5 cab measures 14,42 m by 4,49 m. Those proportions are welcome during the stay, especially when sharing the deck, and worth remembering on the approach to Syros. With a draft of 1,65-2,24 m depending on keel, shelter is chosen according to depth and actual conditions.
Choosing Sun Odyssey 490 – 5 cab makes sense for travellers who value time on board as much as the destinations. The balance of cruising, rest and shared life turns a departure from Lavrio into several memorable days.

The return coincided with heavy harbour traffic. Leaving enough margin kept that detail from affecting the trip.
Elena B.
A good balance of cruising and rest. The pause at Kea became the best part of the trip.

Professional departure, easy communication and a stress-free return. We would repeat it with one more night.
