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.
