Your Itinerary
Day 1
Lavrion Port, Athens - Corinth Canal
Sailing time:
overnight cruising
Boarding takes place at the Port of Lavrion between 14:30 and 15:30. Located approximately 35 km from Athens International Airport (around a 35-minute drive by taxi or Uber), the port is easily accessible for your arrival.
You’ll be welcomed on board with a refreshing drink and assisted with check-in before settling into your cabin.
Welcome cocktails and dinner are followed by a once-in-a-lifetime experience—crossing the impressively narrow and striking Corinth Canal. Overnight at sea.
Pre-cruise suggestions: Lavrion is not only the closest port to Athens international airport, but it also boasts a rich and fascinating history. Begin or end your adventure discovering this picturesque port, once a booming mining town. Situated on a small bay opposite the island of Makronissos, a former exile site for political prisoners, Lavrion still holds a unique charm and offers many sightseeing opportunities. For a more slowpaced visit, the Lavrion Marina is perfect for a relaxing stroll along the waterfront, lined with charming cafés and fresh seafood tavernas.
Day 2
Itea (Delphi)
Sailing time:
overnight cruising
Early morning arrival at Itea, the perfect base for exploring Delphi or the enchanting seaside town of Galaxidi, with our optional tours. The ancient sanctuary of Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known as the “navel of the world” from where the Oracle Pythia gave her prophecies. The romantic and tranquil town of Galaxidi has a rich maritime history and was once one of Greece’s wealthiest ports and shipyards. Beautiful neoclassical architecture and pebble covered courtyard are immaculately preserved to this day. Dinner onboard. Overnight at sea to Kyllini.
Day 3
Kyllini (Ancient Olympia)
Sailing time:
overnight cruising
Morning arrival at Kyllini port, our base for exploring Ancient Olympia, another UNESCO World Heritage site of major importance as it is the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

Day 4
Gytheion (Mystras)
Sailing time:
-
Wake up at the “Land of the Gods”, Gytheio. Gytheio is the site of ancient Cranae, a tiny island where according to legend Paris of Troy and Helen of Sparta spent their first night together before departing for Troy, thus igniting the Trojan War. Explore this relaxing and romantic place or join and optional tour to the stunning fortified settlement of Mystras, yet another UNESCO World Heritage site in our journey. Sitting proudly on mount Taygetos, Mystras served as the capital of the Byzantine settlement of Morea during the 14th and 15th centuries. Lunch is served onboard.

overnight cruising
In the morning enjoy a swim stop at the tiny and magical beach of Elafonissos, featuring sand hills and turquoise tropical waters, a NATURA protected habitat. Lunch is served onboard the yacht. In the afternoon we arrive at the immaculately preserved medieval town of Monemvasia, meaning “the only entrance”. Explore its fairytale beauty and walk its narrow, pebbled alleys. Enjoy a romantic dinner with local cuisine and wine before returning to Elysium for our overnight cruising to Nafplion.

Nafplion (Epidaurus & Mycenae)

Enjoy a romantic evening at one of the most elegant cities in Greece. Overnight at port.
Day 7
