Seasonal· Saronic Gulf· Greece — Ionian, Saronic & Argolic

Charter Turnaround Crowding (Thu–Sat)

37° 45.0′ N · 23° 30.0′ E · approximate

The Saronic's rhythm follows the Athens charter week: Saturday changeovers at Alimos, a wave of boats into Agia Marina and Perdika that evening, and a Thursday–Friday rush back toward Athens.

Practical

Position approx: central Saronic. Charter check-in is usually Saturday 2–5 pm; Agia Marina expects 40+ boats on weekends (double in summer); Perdika is very busy on Thursdays as yachts return to Athens; Aegina town is crowded Thursday to Monday. Arrive at popular quays by early afternoon, or sail further on day one (Methana, Poros) where berths are freer.
