Stavros tou Notou is a classic Jeanneau 51 sailboat based at Flisvos Marina in Paleo Faliro, offering an authentic Greek island experience within easy reach of Athens. This 1991 vessel combines proven seaworthiness with comfortable accommodation for groups of up to nine guests across three cabins, making her ideal for families or friends seeking a week of genuine exploration rather than resort luxury. From your home port just south of the capital, you'll have direct access to the Saronic Gulf's most rewarding anchorages—hidden coves, whitewashed villages, and islands where time moves at a different pace.

Life aboard unfolds at a natural rhythm. The generous cockpit, sheltered by a bimini and sprayhood, becomes your social hub for morning coffee and evening aperitifs, while the four heads ensure everyone's comfort on longer passages. A Yanmar 80 HP engine and reliable GPS navigation mean you're never at the mercy of the wind alone, and the autopilot allows you to relax into the sailing without constant helm work. The galley is well-equipped for preparing fresh catches and local produce—think grilled octopus and village tomatoes—with a coffee maker for proper mornings and an ice-maker for those warm Aegean afternoons.

The week typically unfolds as a blend of sailing and stillness. You might motor-sail to Aegina for its pistachio groves and Doric temple, anchor in Poros's narrow straits where pine forests meet turquoise water, or drift toward Hydra's traffic-free charm. Evenings are spent at quiet anchorages, the water so clear you can see straight to the seabed, with a stand-up paddle board available for exploring shallows and coves at dawn. A generator ensures modern comfort when you need it, while the simplicity of life under sail—the sound of water, the smell of salt, the unhurried pace—reminds you why you came.

A week aboard Stavros tou Notou leaves you anchored at sunset in some forgotten bay, the Acropolis a distant memory, and the Greek islands' timeless character your only concern.
