8 Day Poros Charter Itinerary - Poros to Fethiye

Your first journey will be short and laid back; enjoy the breeze as you head out into the open waters of the charter routes surrounding Athens and catch your first glimpse of the fragrant pine forests of Poros.

As two separate islands joined together by a bridge, these islands boast incredibly lush, green backdrops and a selection of pretty beaches. Strolling around the streets, you can get your first impression of the small family-run businesses that appear at every corner and the attractive neoclassical architecture.

After trying some freshly prepared local cuisine at one of the cafes, explore the beaches for some relaxation time and perhaps a little beachcombing. As the night draws in, take to the hills to walk through some of the rich vegetation and enjoy an impressive view of the Greek sunset.

Archaeological sites are easy to find on Delos, with a wide range of ruins for you to explore. One of the most popular historical sites to visit on the island is The Terrace Of Lions. Dedicated to Apollo himself, seven lions still stand today as they guard the Sacred Way. The importance of these lions is comparable to that of the Sphinx found in Egypt.

Another popular site to visit while exploring the island as part of a wider Greece yacht charter itinerary is the House of Dionysus. A picture-perfect appearance, the House of Dionysus features a selection of standing pillars and some partially intact mosaics.

After an interesting morning of meeting various historical monuments from the Greek past, have a break for lunch on board your luxury charter yacht. The delicious combination of olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and raki will prepare you for an afternoon on the waves. Try some windsurfing or break out the Jet Skis to burn off some steam and make your way across the waters to your next destination of Mykonos.

As you disembark onto the island itself, you will notice that the beaches of Santorini are a shade of grey, rather than the luscious golden colors found on other islands nearby. However, white beach provides recognisable bays where you and your guests can go snorkelling or use your water toys.

After feasting on some local cuisine at Bellonias Villas, you and your guests will visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri for a history lesson on Greece's Bronze Age. Following this, you will venture towards the town to see the famed blue-domed churches and whitewashed buildings along the steep streets.

Stop off in some of the family-run businesses along the way to pick up some Greek specialities, including locally produced wine, which you can also find by visiting Santo Wines. 

After your time of unwinding in Symi, the bustling activity on Rhodes plunges you back into holiday mode as you venture through the winding streets and find some souvenir bargains, en route to your chosen restaurant for lunch. Indulge in a freshly prepared meal of local cuisine and wine before adventuring to some of the incredible historical sites on the island.

A great place to start is the castle of Monolithos. Perched up above the settlements on the island, the ruins here sport some incredible views of the island as well as a magical insight into medieval times. The Old Town is another historical sight not to be missed. Walk along the wall to see some of the fortifications which once housed armed patrols before visiting a harbourside restaurant for a delightful meal and pretty views of the sunset.
