There will be 6 days (Sunday - Friday evening) of sailing or motoring in total. This is a sailing trip tailored for travelers who would like to spend there holidays on a sailing yacht, swim in crystal clear waters, exploring the beautiful islands while practicing yoga and feel free and relaxed. Please be informed that comfort and space are limited on board.

Important Retreat Information

The trip starts on Sunday early in the morning from Alimos or Kalithea Marina in Athens, going onboard as of 8 am o’clock on Sunday morning. For the rest of the days, you will spend overnight in a single en suite hotel room on each island.

Please note that space and amenities onboard are limited, so please pack lightly and do NOT bring big hardcover suitcases. The boat also hosts a fully equipped kitchen, electricity, and warm showers.

For the days on the boat, you will not need much more than your swimwear, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Don’t forget to bring one warm jumper and a waterproof jacket as the evenings can feel chilly after a warm day on the water.

Before departure, you will hit the supermarkets together to stock up on ingredients for breakfast and lunches during sailing. In the evenings, you will always overnight in harbour where you can have dinner at the local taverna and fill up your supplies again if necessary. The cost of food is relatively cheap in Greece. For a week, you should plan around 200 for all your meals and drinks.

As an experienced skipper, Alt Travel will take care to not take any risks on sailing days so the final itinerary depends on wind force and direction. You will also be spending time in each port discovering the island by scooter, on foot, or enjoying a beach.

However, if you feel uncomfortable during the trip, please inform them. They will always carry some seasickness medicine with them to help the passengers. Please don’t hesitate to send an inquiry if you need any additional information. Alt Travel is looking forward to welcoming you on board.

"Best sailing&yoga experience ever! "
1. Elias was perfect captain for us. It was my first experience and I never felt uncomfortable or scared. He was kind, supportive and caring 2. Lucie - our yoga instructor is a just pure soul with appreciation and kindness inside of her. It was a pleasure to have yoga classes with her. 3. Team & places & weather - I was just lucky to get to meet all these wonderful people and Elias based on weather conditions showed us beautiful places of Greece. 4. I would love to make this trip again and will recommend Elias to all my friends. Atmosphere which we had on the boat was amazing. People from different countries but it felt like one lovely family.

"Sailing, Yoga and new friends"
I really liked Elias and Jennifer as a team and our hosts on this trip. They were always attentive to anything around us guests. Elias is a very experienced skipper and if you want you can help out on the boat and take care of things too. Jennifer was always up to offer Yoga on the boat or as we did as well on the beaches and at unique places around the coast. She is very skilled and experienced and such a soul. It was a very nice and relaxed trip, exactly what I needed and I slept like a baby on this boat :-)

"Relaxing in crystal clear waters"
Elias was a great skipper and very informative, I felt safe and relaxed with him. Jennifer was a warm and kind yoga teacher. The locations we stopped at each day were lovely. Enjoyed swimming, snorkelling, yoga, great food, lovely accommodation and great company with the other two ladies on the trip.

Would have liked to do more yoga and more sailing without the motor. However, the trip was relaxing and hugely enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

Had the best experience on the sailing boat with Elias and Jennifer last week. Truly one of the most relaxing holidays I've ever had. It's a good mix of exploring the nature, culture and food of the Saronic islands, yoga and relaxation. Elias is a very experienced sailor, and a very fun and gentle person, I felt very safe and relaxed with him on the boat. Jennifer is a very experienced and skilled yoga instructor. Because we were only two guests, we got a lot of personal attention in the daily classes. She also has a very loving personality and gave the retreat a more spiritual touch, which I really liked. I would definately recommend going on this retreat.
