The Athens Riviera

Discover Athens from the Sea

The Athens Riviera, stretching from Piraeus south to Cape Sounio, is one of the Mediterranean's best-kept secrets. While millions visit the Acropolis each year, few discover the stunning coastline just 30 minutes from the city center — hidden coves with turquoise water, dramatic cliff formations, and secluded beaches accessible only by boat.

Our luxury catamarans depart from Alimos Marina and sail south along this extraordinary coastline. Depending on weather and sea conditions, we anchor in protected bays near Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, and the Fleves Islands, where the water clarity rivals the Cyclades.

The Athens Riviera offers something unique: the combination of world-class ancient history with a coastline that feels untouched. After a morning exploring the Parthenon, you can spend the afternoon floating in crystal-clear water, sipping wine on a catamaran, and watching the sun set behind the Temple of Poseidon.
