Meet at 5 p.m. in the port of Alimos, south of Athens. Welcome by the crew and get to know the boat, which will be used as both transport and accommodation for the week. This settling-in period allows everyone to get their bearings on board: presentation of life on board, safety instructions and the sailing programme.
You'll take part in the communal provisioning (shopping for meals) before sharing a convivial first dinner. An overnight stay at the quayside ensures a smooth departure the next day.
Depart in the morning for your first sail to the island of Aegina. This is an opportunity to learn the basics of sailing: steering, sail adjustment and positioning according to the wind.
Lunch break in a protected cove, with the chance to swim and snorkel. For those who wish, lunch in a taverna on land is also available.
In the late afternoon, head for the port or anchorage of Aegina. This island is famous for its pistachios, which you can buy from the local stalls.
A gentle start to the day with a swim or free activity (stand-up paddle, calm weather). Afterwards, you'll set sail for Poros, a small, green, hilly island.
After arriving and checking your anchorage, you can hire a scooter (easy to hire on site) to discover the heights of the island and its panoramic views over the Saronic Gulf, while the rest of the group can choose to stroll around the port, renowned for its local bakeries and peaceful atmosphere.
Night on board in the port of Poros.
Morning sail to the island of Hydra, learning to navigate by sight: finding the coastline, reading the charts, anticipating the wind and currents.
Arrive at Hydra, a car-free island where you can walk or ride a donkey. Free time in the picturesque village, with its steep streets lined with white houses.
In the evening, dinner at a seaside taverna (Castello), with a view of the sunset, before returning to the yacht for the night.

This day is free and flexible, depending on the weather and the group's preferences. Several options are available:
Sailing to a new anchorage
Full day in a cove
Return to Hydra or Poros for more sightseeing
A light hike or swimming break
The skipper will suggest alternative routes, and the group will decide together. This day is also an opportunity to get more involved in life on board: preparing meals, tidying up, managing water and energy.
Last sail to the port of Alimos, returning before 6pm. This crossing will allow the group to consolidate the skills they have learnt: keeping on course, manoeuvring with others, and motoring if necessary.
There will be time for a debriefing to look back at what the group has learnt technically, the highlights and the memories.
It is possible to spend the last night on board in port, with the boat leaving the next day before 9am.
Sailing times and activities are given as a guide only. The programme may be adjusted according to the weather, sea conditions or the skipper's decisions.

You don’t need to be a top athlete or mountain expert to feel at home. Most Wildhartt participants are between 25 and 60 years old, with a balanced mix of women and men.
Many join solo or in small groups of two or three. They often live in cities and are looking for a meaningful brea some time to reconnect with nature, slow down, and enjoy something real.
They usually have a regular movement practice (hiking, running, yoga...), but not with a competitive mindset. They’re in good shape, but don’t necessarily have technical skills. What brings them together is a shared desire to disconnect, observe, learn, and experience nature in a more grounded, accessible way.
If that speaks to you, you'll feel right at home. The group spirit is kind and open, and the pace adapts to everyone.
