Gulet charter in Athens

For large families or groups of friends, a gulet rental in Athens is fantastic way of spending your summer vacation in the sun, by the sea, in museums, paddle boarding, snorkelling, in edgy bars and clubs, or simply lying on deck in mediterranean paradise. You can stay local to Athens and tour the coastline, or venture to Saronic islands of your choice. Travelling in large groups can sometimes be a hassle, but when your hotel is also your form of transport, leisure and dining room, everyone has everything they need in close proximity!

You can rent a gulet based in Marina Kalamaki, our main base for boat rentals in Athens.

From May to October the weather is sunny and in the twenties and over. Generally in the peak summer months, the temperature tends to average at 29°C.

The meltemi wind is considered the most forceful wind in the summertime in Greece. Luckily, the meltemi is much lighter in the area of Greece and differs from wind force 4-6 in a northerly direction. Though the meltemi doesn’t always blow in summer, there can sometimes be a lighter southerly wind blowing at wind force 2-4.

Depending on what you would like to do on your summer holiday, we have a few attractions listed below that may suit your travel taste! 

The ultimate must-sees of Athens are the Acropolis and Parthenon sites of ancient Greek heritage, as well as the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.  

Interesting museums for exploring and delving into more history and culture are the Benaki Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art and the Byzantine and Christian Museum.

The Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades Islands are brilliant options for sailing routes and destinations on your gulet. Though please be wary that the meltemi wind can be more forceful in the Cyclades.

Athens International Airport (ATH) is 33 km away from Marina Kalamaki. Bus shuttles run to the centre or you can get a taxi directly to the marina.
