The Saronic Gulf offers convenient and well-developed marina facilities in support of both bareboat and crewed charters. Key bases like Athens (Alimos Marina and Lavrion) and Poros have marinas providing full services, including with water, shore power, fuel stations, repair services and secure moorings.

Provisioning is easy and efficient, geared up for the sailing holidaymaker. Supermarkets and local markets are located near the marinas, offering fresh produce, meats and a wide range of supplies. WE recommend you to stock up at your base before departure, but you'll also find well-stocked shops on Aegina, Hydra, and Poros islands in particular.

For added convenience, online provisioning is available in Athens, with pre-order and delivery direct to your yacht. This is a particularly useful service if you're arriving late or prefer to set sail promptly. 

Dining ashore is also a highligh on any Greek yacht charter, with traditional tavernas in every port offering excellent and affordable local cuisine. Whether self-catering or eating out, you'll find the Saronic Gulf comfortable and accommodating for your sailing holiday.
