Experience a varied sailing trip through the Ionian and Aegean Seas – from the island of Zakynthos to the vicinity of the Greek capital Athens.
From Zakynthos, we sail along the picturesque Peloponnese coast to Nafpaktos, a charming harbor town with Venetian history and Mediterranean flair. Our route continues to Galaxidi, an idyllic coastal town on the Gulf of Corinth, which delights with its traditional houses and quiet alleyways.
A highlight of this trip is the passage through the famous Corinth Canal: the narrow, up to 80-meter-high rock faces on the left and right make the passage a unique experience that you won’t soon forget.
Finally, we reach Athens/Porto Rafti, where the sailing trip ends in a sheltered bay not far from the metropolis – perfect for reflecting on what you have experienced or extending your stay in Greece.
A trip full of scenic impressions, cultural highlights and relaxed sailing through two of the most beautiful areas in Greece.
Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.
Independent arrival on Zakynthos. Your voyage begins on the captivating island of Zakynthos, renowned for its spectacular cliffs, turquoise sea and world-famous Navagio Bay. With a welcome drink and the first dinner together, you settle in for an extraordinary week under sail.
After breakfast RHEA sets sail. The open Ionian Sea offers ideal conditions. The coastal landscape of the Peloponnese slowly draws closer, giving you a first impression of the diversity of this region.
Today’s destination is Nafpaktos, one of Greece’s most history-laden harbour towns. Even as you sail in, the Venetian harbour impresses with its ancient walls and the view of the fortress towering above.
There is time to wander through the narrow lanes and soak up the special atmosphere of the town. The blend of maritime flair and centuries of history makes Nafpaktos an unforgettable stopover.
The route continues through the Gulf of Corinth. The surrounding mountains reach right down to the water, forming an impressive backdrop for a relaxed day of sailing.
In the afternoon the yacht reaches Galaxidi. Once a village of sea captains, it is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Greece. Traditional mansions, small squares and a long seafaring history give the town its special charm. The evening draws to a relaxed close along the waterfront promenade.
Today offers the chance to make the most of the calm waters of the Gulf of Corinth. The yacht glides eastwards between steep mountainsides and small coastal villages.
Sailing and taking in the landscape – exactly the combination that defines a sailing voyage in Greece. With every nautical mile, the anticipation grows for one of Europe’s great feats of engineering.
The highlight of the voyage awaits first thing in the morning: the passage through the Corinth Canal.
RHEA glides slowly between rock walls up to 80 metres high. The narrow waterway links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf and is one of the most impressive passages in the Mediterranean. You experience this moment at close quarters, savouring the extraordinary perspective between the sheer rock faces.
Once through, the view opens up to the Aegean – a special moment that marks the transition between two seas.
Beyond the canal, the coast of Attica lies ahead. The landscape changes noticeably: sparser, brighter and typically Aegean. The yacht sails eastwards past small bays and offshore islands. The last full day of sailing offers one more opportunity to savour the time on board. As the yacht nears her destination, you share the experiences of the past week and relive the finest moments. In the evening the Captain’s Dinner follows as the festive finale of the week.
After a final breakfast on deck, you disembark in Porto Rafti near Athens for your independent journey home or an extended stay in Greece.
Commissioned in spring 2017, the RHEA — like her sister ship CHRONOS — is with her 1000 m² sail area and 54 m length one of the most beautiful large luxury sailing yachts in the world. “Your private yacht for a limited time!”
