 SAILING THE SARONIC ISLANDS, ARGOLIC GULF
& THE EAST COAST OF PELOPONNESE
If you are willing to sail near Athens, the Saronic Islands and the east coast of Peloponnese will fulfill your demands for a safe trip in calm waters.
At close proximity to the Attica Prefecture (where Athens belongs) are some wonderful sailing routes that offer ideal sailing conditions, clean and calm waters, splendid coasts and Islands to explore. The Saronic Islands of Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses are the most popular sailing destinations.
The Saronic region is characterized by calm sea, but also limited visibility due to haze and early morning fog, which usually dissipates by late morning to early afternoon. Be careful of the rocks in the area, which can be easily seen due to the clean waters in the region. As the Saronic Islands are popular for fishing, pay attention to fishing nets and small boats sailing in the area.
In the Saronic Gulf, apart from Hydra, the wind blows mainly from theNE. The Aegean Meltemi wind, which reaches 5-6 Beaufort, begins in mid July, strengthens in August and calms down in late September.
In the Argolic Gulf and along the east coast of Peloponnese you are offered superb sailing and well-organized port facilities in the historical cities of Nafplion and Tolo, and marinas in the holiday resorts of Porto Heli, Astros and Leonidio.
In the Argolic Gulf and Hydra Island, the wind blows mainly from the SE. The Meltemi wind is especially strong in the afternoon, but otherwise it is quite calm. The Kabatic wind also affects the region, as it comes off the mountaintops of the Peloponnese. It hardly ever reaches higher than 5 Beaufort in strength and blows for just a few hours.
