Itinerary

Starting location:
09:00 – Departure from Lavrio
Departure
After a short safety briefing, we depart from Lavrio and cruise across the sparkling Aegean toward Kea, enjoying the thrill and comfort of open-air RIB cruising. We will pass next to Makronisos Island, a small, barren island off the coast of Lavrio, carrying one of the heaviest historical memories in modern Greece. The island is uninhabited and protected as a historical memorial site, as it was used as a military prison and “re-education” camp for thousands of political prisoners. Fresh sea breeze, panoramic coastal views, and the freedom of the Cyclades begin from the very first minute, along with being part of the great Greek history.
09:45 – First Swim Stop | Hidden Cove & Crystal Waters
We are arriving at Kea island! The closest inhabited Cycladic island to Athens, known for its relaxed atmosphere, traditional villages, and green landscapes unusual for the Cyclades. Unlike the more crowded Greek islands, Kea has a calm and authentic character, with stone-built houses, hiking trails, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters, offering a quieter, more traditional side of the Cyclades. The island has a long history dating back to antiquity and was once an important maritime center. Our first stop is a secluded beach accessible only by sea. Swim in turquoise waters, snorkel around rocky formations, or simply relax on board with the stunning Cycladic landscape surrounding you. You can enjoy on board your breakfast snacks, fruits and soft drinks Perfect for: • Swimming • Snorkeling • SUP • Sunbathing • Photos & drone shots complimentary offered.
11:00 – Coastal Exploration & Secret Beaches
Cruising along Kea’s untouched coastline, we explore hidden gems, sea caves, and remote coves far away from crowded tourist spots. Depending on sea conditions and your preferences, we can stop at: • Remote beaches • Natural sea caves • Cliff-jumping spots • Quiet bays ideal for relaxing
12:30 – Karthea Ancient City Experience
One of the highlights of the day. Accessible mainly by sea, the legendary Karthea reveals one of Kea’s most fascinating archaeological treasures: • The ancient Temple of Athena • The historic amphitheater • Stunning panoramic scenery • A magical blend of history and untouched nature You may disembark and climb up the stoned alley leading to the top of the small hill and explore the ancient ruins having the full Aegean seaview in front of you! It is astonishing! You will never feel closer to the DNA of Greece! Sea, Sun and History. A truly unique experience few visitors ever discover.
14:30 – Traditional Seaside Village Stop
We continue toward one of Kea’s charming fishing villages for a relaxed island atmosphere and authentic Greek hospitality. Optional experiences: • Lunch at a traditional seaside taverna • Fresh seafood & local Greek cuisine • Coffee or cocktails by the sea • Short village walk and exploration • Shopping in small souvenir shops Popular options may include: • Vourkari • Korissia • Koundouros (depending on route and weather)
16:30 – Afternoon Swim & Relaxation
One final stop for swimming and relaxation before heading back. Enjoy: • Floating in crystal-clear waters • Music and drinks onboard (alcohol drinks can be included upon arrangement) • Sunbathing on the bow lounge • Relaxed cruising around Kea’s coastline This is the perfect moment to fully embrace the Aegean lifestyle.
18:30 – Scenic Cruise Back to Lavrio - Sunset
As the afternoon light softens, we begin our return cruise to Lavrio. Enjoy the final views of the Cyclades, sea breeze, and a memorable sunset atmosphere on the water.

    We have booked Faethon for 3 days and we had an absolutely fantastic experience; it was the perfect choice for our family of four, including two young children on their first-ever motorboat trip. ​The boat itself was brilliant. It was perfectly equipped with everything a family could need, and it handled beautifully on the water. At no point did we feel anything but completely safe and secure, which was so important to us. The kids named this the best vacation they ever had! ​George and Nikos were incredibly accommodating and made the entire process seamless. They were so helpful, and we especially appreciated their thoughtful offer to meet us beforehand so we could get a good look at the boat. They provided everything we asked for (even a wide options of vests for the kids!) and were always available to answer our questions beforehand and during the trip. ​We highly recommend this boat to any family looking for a safe, comfortable, and fantastic day(s) out on the water. We will definitely book it again and for a longer period!

    George and Nikos were so easy to communicate with and plan ahead based on the weather for the day as to where to best spend our time. We enjoyed hitting a few island spots including some ports and more secluded areas. They were very pleasant to be on board with. I highly recommend to book them for your custom boating experience in the Greek islands.

    Thank you George & Nikos for a wonderful day at sea and for such a smooth experience from the moment we booked. The communications was so professional to share the navigation route. Nikos was an absolute gentleman and took us to explore the coast of Kéa, sharing stories of the island and bonding with our guests. The boat was very clean, well equipped with towels, perfect size to go close to the beaches, and they helped us organize fruit platters, refreshments and finger foods. It felt like we were on a boat with a family friend and it was such a pleasant experience - highly recommend!

    We rented the boat for a half-day and had an amazing experience! The setup was perfect for my family, especially with kids – super comfortable and safe. The owner was helpful and made everything easy from start to finish. Kids loved it! We're seriously thinking to do it again in the summer, for a full week!
