The single most important aspect of a sailing vacation can be divided up into 3 different categories, location, location and location. It does not matter how good your vessel or crew are, if you have the wrong location the quality of your adventure is diminished. The worlds best sailing location is the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Talk to us, we have sailed the whole Caribbean Chain. I would like to share with you my impressions of one of the Islands we visited.
Hydra is one of the easiest islands to get to from Athens.
We left from the main harbor of Pireaus aboard our beautiful motor yacht Nancy One. The short crossing takes about 2 hours and is one of the nicest trips you can take. Hydra is one of the Saronic Gulf islands which includes Aegina, Angistri, Poros and Spetsis. Of these Hydra is the most unspoiled even though it is the most popular. The reason is because growth has been limited and while the other islands expand outward to accommodate tourism Hydra has not and most of its visitors just come for the day because there are not enough places for them to stay.
