Where TROY can take you.
Saronic Gulf
Home waters · day charters| Destination | Time from Athens | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Aegina | ~45 min | The Saronic's largest island and Greece's pistachio capital. Guests come for the atmospheric fishing harbour lined with caïques, the imposing Temple of Aphaia set among pine forest, and long lazy lunches of fresh seafood at Perdika. |
| Agistri | ~1 h | A tiny, pine-covered island best reached by sea. The draw is the water itself — Aponisos and Dragonera are among the clearest, most vivid turquoise coves in the Saronic, sheltered enough for a full day at anchor with the tender in the water. |
| Poros | ~1 h 30 | Separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow, glass-flat channel. The pastel amphitheatre of houses climbing to the iconic clock tower is one of the most photographed harbours in Greece, and Love Bay and Russian Bay just outside town are protected swim stops. |
| Hydra | ~2 h | Car-free and cinematic — donkeys, water taxis and grey-stone captains' mansions rising from a horseshoe port. Long the artists' island of the Aegean, guests come for the Hydronetta cliffs at sunset, the swim rocks below Kamini, and dinner at Techne or Sunset. |
| Spetses | ~2 h 30 | The most elegant of the Saronic islands, historically the summer retreat of Athenian shipping families. The Old Harbour is lined with wooden schooners and neoclassical mansions; horse-drawn carriages replace cars, and pine-fringed bays like Zogeria and Agia Paraskevi are reached best by sea. |
Cyclades
Multi-day reach · Aegean| Destination | Time from Athens | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kea (Tzia) | ~2 h | The closest Cycladic island to Athens and a well-kept Athenian secret. Oak forests instead of white cubes, a picturesque harbour at Vourkari with some of the best seafood tavernas in the Aegean, and quiet anchorages at Poles and Spathi. |
| Kythnos | ~2 h 30 | Home to Kolona — the double-sided sandbar that connects Kythnos to the islet of Agios Loukas, one of the most spectacular anchorages in Greece. Add the thermal springs at Loutra and the whitewashed hilltop Chora, and it's an easy first stop into the Cyclades. |
| Syros | ~4 h | The administrative capital of the Cyclades and unlike any other island in the group. Ermoupoli is a full neoclassical town — marble squares, an Italianate opera house (Apollon Theatre) and a Venetian medieval quarter (Ano Syros) crowning the hill. A cultural counterpoint to the whitewashed islands. |
| Serifos | ~4 h | A dramatic Chora spilling down a rocky peak above Livadi bay — one of the most striking silhouettes in the Cyclades. Beaches like Psili Ammos and Agios Sostis remain long, sandy and blissfully undeveloped, and the island keeps a raw, low-key rhythm. |
| Sifnos | ~4 h 30 | Widely regarded as the gastronomic capital of the Cyclades — the home island of Nikolaos Tselementes, the father of modern Greek cookery. Guests come for the pottery villages of Artemonas and Apollonia, chickpea stew baked in clay, and the whitewashed clifftop chapel of Chrysopigi. |
| Paros | ~5 h | The social heart of the central Cyclades. Naoussa's tiny Venetian harbour has become one of the Aegean's most fashionable evening scenes — waterfront tables at Barbarossa and Siparos, boutique shopping in the whitewashed alleys, and long sandy beaches at Kolymbithres and Santa Maria. |
| Antiparos | ~5 h | Paros's quieter, more bohemian sister across a narrow strait — long favoured by a discreet crowd (Hanks, Dolce). Sheltered anchorages around Despotiko, a genuinely charming main village, and one of the most impressive stalactite caves in Europe. |
| Mykonos | ~5 h | The Aegean's undisputed party capital and yacht destination. Beach clubs at Psarou, Nammos and Scorpios by day; Little Venice, Matoyianni and the windmills at sunset; a nightlife scene that draws the world every August. Best experienced from your own deck at anchor off Ornos or Psarou. |
| Tinos | ~5 h | The Cyclades' rising food and art destination. Fifty inland marble villages — Pyrgos, Volax, Kardiani — dovecotes scattered across the terraced hills, and a new generation of restaurants (Thalassaki, San To Alati) drawing Athenians away from the busier islands next door. |
| Milos | ~6 h | A volcanic island whose coastline is genuinely reachable only from the water. Sarakiniko's lunar white rock formations, the pirate coves of Kleftiko, the fishing village of Klima with its coloured boat-house doors — Milos rewards a yacht more than any other Cycladic island. |
| Naxos | ~6 h | The largest and greenest Cycladic island. The Portara — a monumental marble doorway to an unbuilt temple of Apollo — frames the sunset above the old town; long soft-sand beaches run down the west coast at Plaka and Mikri Vigla; and mountain villages like Apeiranthos feel a world away from the sea. |
