Why a private boat cruise is one of the best things to do in Athens
A private boat cruise is one of the best things to do in Athens!
Athens is definitely one of the liveliest European cities. It’s full of exciting urban vibes and amazing nightlife. Its most interesting aspect, though, is that it is a city ideal for summer vacations; it has numerous beautiful beaches at a very close distance, and at the same time it is a great starting point for visiting the enchanting nearby islands!
By renting a private boat, you can enrich your holidays in Athens with unique cruises to shores full of history and idyllic beauty. Not to mention the ability for daily getaways to the neighboring islands. This is a totally unique opportunity to see the cosmopolitan side of the Athenian lifestyle on board; something that even many locals have never experienced!
Meticulously planned itineraries
The Don Blue Yachting fleet is 100% owned by the company, ensuring the best possible prices for you. All the boats are spacious, modern, and meet the highest quality and security standards.
Itās not just about getting from point A to point B; itās about discovering the hidden coves of the Athenian Riviera that remain untouched by the city’s buzz. As you cruise past the sophisticated suburbs of Vouliagmeni and Varkiza, the landscape shifts from urban chic to raw, Mediterranean beauty. Diving into the crystal-clear waters of small, uninhabited islets like Fleves or Patroklos offers a sense of freedom you simply can’t find on a crowded beach. Thereās something truly hypnotic about watching the coastline change colors as the sun begins to dip, all while enjoying a glass of chilled wine on your own private deck.
For the lucky visitors who want to see Athens from a totally different perspective, Don Blue Yachting has designed two exclusive cruises. The Athenian Riviera – Sounio cruise will introduce you to the idyllic natural beauties of the Athens coastline, which is full of archaeological sites, magnificent ancient temples, and luxurious spots to enjoy a swim, lunch or dinner stops, as well as secluded, uninhabited rocky islands that can only be reached by boat.
The absolute highlight for many is reaching Cape Sounio from the sea. Approaching the Temple of Poseidon as it stands guard over the Aegean is a bucket-list experience that feels almost spiritual when viewed from the water. Instead of being stuck in traffic on the coastal road, youāre gliding through the waves, feeling the salt air and the warm Greek sun. It is, without a doubt, the most authentic way to experience Athensāaway from the tourist trails, in a setting tailored entirely to your pace and style
The Athens – Aegina island – Moni Islet cruise, on the other hand, gives every traveler based in Athens the opportunity to taste the Greek island life in the easiest way possible; Aegina is full of neoclassical architecture and picturesque, traditional settings you will instantly fall in love with. Since it is located very close to Athens it is very popular among visitors, therefore you will be able to enjoy its beauties while avoiding the crowds, directly from the privacy of your boat. Moni is a small, isolated island that is considered an earthly paradise due to its breathtaking turquoise waters and exotic view.
The cruises can adapt to your personal preferences as well; just communicate your wishes to the company and they will create the ideal holiday experience for you and your family or friends. Except for the stops and destinations, you can also choose the music that will accompany you throughout the cruise, the meals that you will enjoy, as well as the drinks menu. A special brunch onboard and extra premium drinks can also be provided upon request.
An amazing experience in a safe environment
Keep also in mind that by renting a private boat, even the busiest beaches you may want to include in your schedule can be enjoyed at a safe distance from other travelers, totally Covid-safe and in the most comfortable way possible. Each of the private boats comes with free snorkeling equipment for those who are always up for underwater explorations, while a seabob can also be provided upon request.
For the most demanding travelers, Don Blue Yachting has also designed a wide variety of upper-class services including VIP transfers, private parties, corporate events, tender services, bareboat RIB charter, as well as honeymoon & wedding proposal events that can take place on board.
