Embarkation at Lavrion port 14:30-15:30. Lavrion is not only the closest port to Athens international airport, but it also boasts a rich and fascinating history. Your journey begins at 16:00 as we depart from Lavrion Port and sail into the Saronic Gulf. After a short safety briefing and time to settle in, the ship glides northward into the Evian Gulf. Dinner is served onboard under the stars, while we continue cruising toward Northern Evia through the night. Later, we pass the historic Bridge of Chalkis, built in 1896 and still one of the oldest movable bridges in the world. Its unique sliding mechanism allows ships to pass through the narrow strait, where you can witness the remarkable tidal currents that reverse direction several times a day — a rare and fascinating natural phenomenon.
Arrival at Edipsos, one of Greece’s most renowned spa towns, famous since antiquity for its therapeutic thermal springs. The early morning is perfect for a quiet dip in the warm mineral-rich waters that bubble up naturally along the shore. Afterward, you may choose to stroll the peaceful seafront promenade, visit the historic Thermae Sylla Spa, or simply enjoy a coffee by the sea. Lunch is served al fresco en route to Oreoi, a quaint fishing village on the northern tip of Evia, reaching its small harbor by early evening. Explore the village, visit the impressive ancient marble bull on display, and savor fresh seafood at a local taverna. We overnight at Oreoi, enjoying the calm and picturesque surroundings.
We set off early morning and cross the Pagasetic Gulf, arriving at the bustling port city of Volos. Volos is a lively city with a rich mythological past, it is said to be the home of Jason and the Argonauts. Not to be missed, our optional excursion takes you to the unique and breathtaking Meteora monasteries, a UNESCO World Heritage site dramatically perched on towering rock formations. If you prefer to stay in Volos, spend the day exploring its vibrant waterfront promenade, visiting the Archaeological Museum, and, if available, see the reconstructed Argo ship moored near the harbor. Enjoy a leisurely dinner at one of Volos’ famous tsipouradika, traditional tavernas where meze dishes are paired with local tsipouro. We spend the night at port, with the vibrant city lights reflecting on the calm water.
At dawn, we depart Volos and sail toward the Sporades islands. Early morning arrival at a beautiful cove in Skiathos island, known for its golden sand beaches and lush landscape. The day can be spent swimming, kayaking or relaxing at the beach until the afternoon. Lunch is served onboard. Early afternoon we lift anchor and continue to Skiathos town port, where we arrive in time for you to enjoy a leisurely walk through the lively streets, shop for local crafts, or sip cocktails at the Bourtzi peninsula café overlooking the harbor. Skiathos is famous for its nightlife, so the evening is perfect for those who wish to experience its restaurants, bars and music venues before returning onboard for the night.
We leave Skiathos early in the morning, enjoying breakfast on deck as the ship glides toward Skopelos, the picturesque island where Mamma Mia! was filmed. Enjoy a refreshing swim stop and lunch at Stafilos Beach, a lovely stretch of sand framed by cliffs and pine trees. Later, we continue to Skopelos Port, where the whitewashed houses, cobblestone alleys, and numerous chapels create a postcard-perfect setting, a backdrop straight out of the movie Mamma Mia!
If you are a fan of the film, join our optional “Mamma Mia! Tour”, taking you to some of the movie’s most iconic filming locations. Highlights include Agios Ioannis Kastri, the dramatic “Mamma Mia church” where the wedding scene was filmed and Kastani Beach, the backdrop for several lively dance numbers. The tour also passes through charming villages and scenic viewpoints that capture the magic of the island. After exploring Skopelos Town, enjoy dinner at a traditional taverna and try the island’s signature Skopelos cheese pie, before returning to the ship, which remains docked in Skopelos for the night.
The day begins with an early departure from Skopelos, heading toward the uninhabited island of Peristera near Alonissos. This area forms part of the Alonissos Marine Park, a protected zone known for its crystal-clear waters and rich marine life, including the rare Mediterranean monk seal. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling and a delicious al fresco lunch here until the early afternoon, before we continue our journey to Skyros. Arriving in Linaria Port in the late afternoon, you have time to wander through Skyros’ unique Chora, a blend of Cycladic architecture and Venetian influences, with narrow streets and hidden squares. Dinner ashore offers a chance to sample the island’s famous lobster pasta or Skyrian goat cheese. You stay overnight in Linaria, enjoying the serene harbor atmosphere.
Before dawn, we depart Skyros for Andros island, arriving at the charming seaside town of Batsi. Enjoy a morning swim in its sandy bay or a coffee at one of the cafés along the waterfront. After lunch we continue south toward Kea (Tzia), reaching its harbor by early evening, where you can take some time to wander along the picturesque harbor, admire the colorful fishing boats, stroll through the narrow streets lined with shops and cafés, and soak in the relaxed island atmosphere before returning to the ship for a farewell dinner onboard.
