2nd day: Hydra

A stage off the trade winds so that each one can easily get used to sailing.

Hydra was always turned towards the sea. Its port is the center of the village

The cars are banished from Hydra

3rd day: Nauplie

A stage on the coast of the Peloponnese right up to the end of the Gulf of Nauplie.

Nauplie was the 1st capital of Greece; nothing changes since it was replaced by Athens. A walk the evening in Nauplie is a trip in Greece of the Fifties.

The most courageous fellows will go up to the Palamidi fortress which overhangs the city and will admire the splendid view on the Gulf

Nauplie is also the starting point to visit the site of Mycenes

4th day: Spetsai

Spetsai is a pretty village where cars are banished.

Eat a grilled fish and a Greek salad. Drink ouzo. And take good pictures not specially of bright Greek monuments, but of small details which make the every day’s life. .

6eme jour : Egina

The nearest island from Athens and yet nothing lets it appear. The countryside is covered with pistachio trees (the pistachios of Egine are the most famous in Greece)

along the port barouches are waiting as everybody look at the sunset, having ouzo outside.

If you prefer a quieter place, stop for the night in the small harbour of Perdika: a quay and several good taverns wait for you.
