Welcome Aboard the Aiolis Alfa!

Begin your extraordinary day at sea at the picturesque marina of Palaio Faliro, a charming coastal suburb known for its vibrant blend of history and modern seaside allure. Your boat for the day is the Aiolis Alfa, the impressive result of three years of dedicated craftsmanship, which is evident in every fine detail. Meet your crew, get acquainted with the boat’s spacious deck, and settle in for your memorable day sailing the Athenian Riviera.

Idyllic Islands & Activities

Watching Palaio Faliro slowly disappear in the gentle wake of the Aiolis Alfa, your captain will expertly make his way to the idyllic islands of Attica Fleves/Ydrousa. On the way (conditions permitting), experience the wonders of sailing as motors are turned off, and the power of the wind is harnessed.

Then, once you’ve anchored near shore, delight in time to swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters. Near private beaches seem a world away from the bustling streets of Athens, and with free time to snorkel, relax, or try your hand at fishing, this experience is perfectly crafted to suit your preferences. Plus, with all the gear and beach towels provided and a knowledgeable crew to offer tips, all you have to worry about is basking in the beauty of your surroundings.

Gourmet Greek Gastronomy

While you were enjoying the many activities on offer, your chef has been working up his magic behind the scenes. And now, it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for–a superb culinary experience onboard the Aiolis Alfa.

Kostas Thireos, chef and sommelier, will introduce you to a menu of 10 mouth-watering Greek dishes prepared right onboard. From sourcing the freshest ingredients from local Greek producers to using only the finest extra virgin bio olive oil, every dish is a testament to authentic Greek cuisine.

That's not all, though. You'll also be treated to an assortment of high-quality Greek wines and beers, as well as liquors and expertly crafted cocktails if you wish. Once satisfied, begin the scenic journey back to Palaio Faliro, where you'll say farewell to your newfound friends and caring crew.
