That's a Wrap on Greece 2024
By Yacht Week
Posted on 25th July 2024
The last of our yachts will soon dock at Alimos Marina, signalling the end of a stellar season in the Mediterranean this summer. As our time in the Athenian Riviera comes to a close, we’re looking back at some of the best highlights from Greece 2024.
Conga lines at Cape Sol.
When the sun set on the Alimos docks, a cool breeze carried the sounds of dancehall, RnB, Reggaeton and house to our yachts. Cape Sol was calling. And it was no average opening night party. All the new faces we were going to meet on this week-long journey on the seas - they were all there. And they brought their A game. Legend has it that when the drinks flowed and the music swelled, a coordinated Cape Sol conga formed, and swayed into the night.

Souvlaki on deck, anyone?
Bringing a host on board your yacht is a sure fire way to guarantee some gastronomic greatness while you sail the Mediterranean. Each host-prepared meal this year included a culinary flair. Some lucky guests returned to their yachts to find a Greece inspired feast awaiting them - with tzatziki, souvlaki, keftedes and fresh salads.
Tunnel rafts till sunset.
If you think you know tunnel rafts, think again. Our expert skippers showed off their yacht choreography skills by picking a spot in the crystal waters, tethering the boats to each other and coordinating a perfect swim tunnel. Flanked by a neat line of monohulls and catamarans on each side, guests brought the floaties out, the DJ decks pumped out stellar tunes and it was a party for the ages.

Poros tours on ATVs.
X marked the spot on the picturesque island of Poros. Guests rented scooters, ATVs or eBikes as their chosen means of transportation to the quintessential domes of Greece’s iconic whitewashed buildings. Clock Towers in cyan, Schooners in cobalt waters and red-brick ports bathed in a tungsten sunset glow. It was a little too magical to describe. You’d have to see it to believe it.

Love Bay limbo.
We hitched a water taxi ride to Love Bay for water volleyball, sandy dancefloor limbo and an iconic drink made in a bucket (yes, you read that right). When guests weren’t salsa-ing by the beach bar or defying flexibility to win the limbo competition, they found a comfy sunbed and watched boats sail into the horizon.

Closing down Malibu.
When you feel that midnight itch to boogie down, you’ve officially got Yacht Week fever. The only cure? Some Malibu barrel-top dancing. We climbed the famous barrels at the Malibu club and danced to our favourite tunes till it was almost light out. When you’ve ‘closed down’ Club Malibu at 4am, you can rest on your laurels. You’ve earned it.
Open sails and water sports.
It’s a sailing holiday after all. And sail we did. When the wind was right, the sails went up and our favourite skippers helped glide the yachts through the water like some graceful dolphins. For guests looking to taste the salty seas, we threw lines into the water, buoys afloat, and helped them body surf the crystal clear waters.

Circle rafts, regattas and sunsets oh my.
If you know Yacht Week, you know the iconic circle raft - aka, the eye of the seas. On some extra special days, weather pending, we built our circle rafts by morning and followed them up with the fashion-first festivities of the Yacht Week Regatta. And when a Regatta-inspired crew dresses up for the final beach party of the week at the SEEN club, you can expect some head-turning outfits, coupled with some serious dance-floor energy.
Our Greece route is coming back for a glorious Summer 2025 return. Read all about it here.
