8 Day Poros Charter Itinerary - Poros to Fethiye

Away from cruise ships and mainstream tourists, the island of Hydra is noticeably quieter than many other islands you will visit because there are no cars allowed here. The only vehicles you will see are rubbish disposal related. Walking through the streets you can once again enjoy the charm of the local people and their businesses, which highly depend on the visitors to the island. 

Cruising around the coast on your motor yacht you will see many natural harbors to anchor down in to enjoy the small beaches and quiet walks through the vegetation. An added bonus to the beauty of Hydra is that there are also some natural springs on the island. Ideal if you feel the need for some revitalisation. Finish off your afternoon of exploration by dining at one of the local tavernas and trying some of the exquisite local cuisine, before then retiring to your luxury charter yacht to move on to your next destination.

On arrival at the island, you can take some time to relax on the popular sandy beaches or jump straight into exploring the terrain by moving up into the hills to see the 16th-century windmills. Most of the windmills were built by the Venetians but some construction work was not completed until the early 20th century. 

As the afternoon draws to a close, indulge in a delicious and fulfilling meal at M-eating or Bill and Goo Gastronomy Project before heading into the heart of Mykonos for a night to remember. Being completely spoiled for choice on the nightlife scene, you can dance the night away in one of the local clubs with resident DJs and tribute acts or head to a chic and classy cocktail bar to work your way through the list of alcoholic concoctions. We recommend that you visit Principote Panormos or Nammos if you really want a night to remember. 

To make the most of the island, make your way to the town of Yialos to witness some of the exciting summer festivals. Held every year from July to September, the Symi Festival consists of a series of free open-air concerts, dances and many other social events, all held in the town square. Enjoy at your leisure and take a quick tour of some of the beautiful churches before returning to your luxury charter yacht.

Despite not having a huge amount of activities available, the island of Symi has some charming communities around the island who are warm and welcoming to all who visit. Anchor down at the quaint town of Galios to enjoy a long evening of indulgent hospitality and a setting which shows what traditional Greece is really like. From the pastel-hued buildings to the buzzy tavernas lining the harbor, this is one stop you won't forget in a hurry.  

If your time is short at this last location, indulge in a hearty breakfast before disembarking your luxury charter yacht and then head towards the theater of Telmessos. This ancient city of Telmessos was the foundations of the modern city you see today but it is precious places like by the harbor where you can see and truly appreciate the historical remnants of the past. The Hellenistic theater was excavated in the 1990s and proves to be a popular tourist site for those interested in history and culture.

Before ending your tour of the Greek islands, be sure to visit Hillside Beach club for one final meal overlooking the Mediterranean where you will recount the previous days' adventures and contemplate your next luxury charter yacht adventure.
