Entrepreneurship

**Greece always delivers—every time.** It’s become a staple destination for Joyride Charters, and this trip is consistently our most popular. We sail at the *start of high season* when the islands are lively but not overcrowded, the waters are warm, and the energy is incredible. This is not your average sailing week. **Many tours are already included** in the price—your winery visit, bee farm experience, olive oil history tour, plus transportation and little Greek goodies to bring home. ⚓ Perfect for Solo Travelers, Couples, and Over-50 Adventurers Whether you're coming solo, with a friend, as a couple, or looking for your next “new chapter” adventure—**you’ll fit right in.** * Solo travelers are matched same-sex in cabins (or upgrade to a private cabin). * Couples get the privacy and romance of their own en-suite cabin. * Travelers 50+ love the stability and comfort of the catamaran, cultural depth and the built-in friendship of small-group travel. ⚓ What Makes the Saronic Gulf So Special Sailing out of **Alimos Marina in Athens** is the perfect gateway to the Saronic Islands: * **Aegina** for pistachios, temples, and seaside cafés * **Spetses** with its elegant old harbor and horse-drawn carriages * **Hydra**, the island with no cars—only magic * **Poros**, lined with boats, bakeries, and bougainvillea * **Epidaurus**, home to the ancient theater and lush views of the Peloponnese You can explore on foot, rent an e-bike or 4-wheeler (optional), or wander the shops, markets, and waterfront promenades. ⚓ Life Aboard We sail on **large, spacious catamarans**—super comfortable, stable, and airy. Every cabin is a **private double with its own bathroom**, USB and 110 outlets Each boat has a **captain and a hostess/host**, and breakfasts and lunches are freshly prepared onboard. Dinners are ashore so we can savor the world-class Greek cuisine and sit cliffside for sunset. ⚓ A Trip for Every Kind of Traveler You don’t need any experience—just curiosity and a sense of adventure. You can relax with a book in the shade, float in crystal-clear coves, or hone your sailing skills if you want to learn more. Guests form **life-long friendships** on these trips—it’s part of the magic of small-group sailing. Come with family, bring a friend, or come entirely on your own. **Everyone is welcome.** Come with a friend, family or by yourself. All welcome.

Τα τακούνια ξαναχτυπούν πλακόστρωτο και η The Devil Wears Prada 2 έρχεται να μας βάλει ξανά στον λαμπερό, χαοτικό κόσμο της μόδας, εκεί όπου τα βλέμματα είναι πιο κοφτερά κι από editorial review και η Meryl Streep συνεχίζει να σε παγώνει μόνο με μία ατάκα. Αυτή τη φορά η Andy επιστρέφει πιο ώριμη, πιο sharp και πολύ λιγότερο διατεθειμένη να λέει “yes, Miranda”. Μέσα σε glossy ίντριγκες, fashion shows, old rivalries και το χάος του σύγχρονου media κόσμου, η ταινία παίζει ανάμεσα στη νοσταλγία των 00s και στη σημερινή υπερβολή της εικόνας, των trends και της δύναμης. Και honestly… τι καλύτερο από το να το ζήσεις αυτό σε θερινό; 🌙 Η ζέστη αρχίζει να γίνεται γλυκιά, η Αθήνα μυρίζει καλοκαίρι, τα ποτά παγώνουν, και εμείς θα βρεθούμε κάτω από τα δέντρα της Aegli Zappiou Cinema για ένα από εκείνα τα βράδια που μοιάζουν λίγο με ταινία από μόνα τους. 🍷 Μετά την προβολή, συνεχίζουμε με ποτό και κουβέντα. **Κυριακή \| 20:45** Μπορείτε να κλείσετε τα εισιτήρια σας εδώ : https://www.more.com/gr-el/tickets/cinema/aigli-cinema/ Έλα στην παρέα — οι καλύτερες ταινίες βλέπονται μαζί. ‼️**Παρακαλούμε θερμά:** Αν δηλώσεις συμμετοχή και τελικά δεν μπορείς να έρθεις, **φρόντισε να ακυρώσεις εγκαίρως** — μας βοηθά πολύ στον καλύτερο συντονισμό και την οργάνωση της βραδιάς. Συνήθως έρχομαι αργοπορημένη στα events που διοργανώνω!!! οπότε μπείτε , καθίστε και θα συναντηθούμε στο τέλος της προβολής στο ταμείο του κινηματογράφου!!
