Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: handover from 17:00 on Saturday, return to the base by the evening before and check-out by 9:00 on Saturday morning. Day charters start in the morning from the same quays.
Why start from Lavrion rather than Athens?
Lavrion is fifteen minutes from the airport and forty miles closer to the Cyclades: Kea is two hours away and the central islands a day, without the Saronic and Sounion in between.
When is the meltemi strongest?
From mid-July to the end of August, when force six to seven is normal in the central Cyclades and force eight arrives in spells; June and September are gentler and the sea is warm.
