10 Days in Athens

10 Days Yacht Charter Athens

Extended charter — more islands, longer pauses, deeper rhythm.

10 Days from Athens — what's realistic

A 10-day charter is the format for serious island exploration. You gain 3 extra days beyond a standard week, which transforms the trip: the captain can include more remote islands, the pace can slow down at favourite anchorages, and the week starts to feel less like a trip and more like a season. Many of our repeat clients have shifted from 7-day to 10-day charters once they tried both. A 10-day charter typically covers 200-280 nm and 5-8 island stops. You can extend a Cycladic loop to include Folegandros and Sifnos, or add the Sporades to an Aegean week, or combine the Ionian with the Saronic Gulf. The chef has time to plan more elaborate dinners. The crew settles into your preferences. The longer format also delivers better per-day economics on most yachts. Departure from Alimos Marina. Best paired with yacht selection that matches the duration: longer trips suit larger yachts with separate crew zones; 3-day weekends suit 20-30 metre motor yachts or large catamarans.

Notes from George

Book Athens-departure charters 4-9 months ahead for peak summer. Boarding directly from Alimos Marina saves Athens positioning leg.
10 Days charters work best with a clear priority list — what 2-3 things matter most. The captain optimises around them.
Crew gratuity convention 10-18% of base rate paid in cash at end. Same convention regardless of charter duration.
Multi-week (10+ days) charters often qualify for owner discounts on the second week.
Ask the captain at day-one briefing about the itinerary's flexibility — Greek weather changes; the route adapts.
