The freedom of the seas - the convenience and sophistication of a modern capital city - what more can you ask for of a destination to spend the winter months?. Situated a few miles from the city centre and the port of Piraeus, and close to the international airport, the 24/7 security services and controlled entry points, coupled with a quiet environment, ensure privacy for you and your guests.

TOP 10 REASONS TO CHOOSE ATHENS THIS WINTER SEASON

You'll like the climate. Harsh winters are almost unknown here - temperatures rarely drop below 40oF, even at night, and only drop below 60oF in the daytime in January and February.
You can get here easily - the marina is only 30 minutes from Athens International Airport by road; it also has a helipad if you want to beat the traffic.
You'll enjoy the privacy and security of limited and controlled public access, CCTV surveillance and personnel patrols, and a Port Police post within the marina.
You'll find all the technical facilities you might need - the marina and nearby port of Piraeus offer shipyard and storage facilities for refits, maintenance, repairs and spares for yachts of any size.
Located on Faliro Bay on the city seafront, Athens Marina is the ideal base to explore more than 3,000 Greek islands in the calm cruising waters of the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
Athens has all the amenities, communications and conveniences of a modern capital city, and as such, has no "closed season".
It's your chance to enjoy the famous archaeological sites of ancient Greece without the crowds, and the restaurants and tavernas without the crush.
Uniquely in Europe, the nightlife in Athens can be more diverse in the winter than in the summer, as many club owners decamp to the islands in the searing summer months.
If you don't want to miss out on winter sports, there are 3 ski resorts within 3 hours' drive from Athens, and a total of 25 in the country.
Athenians celebrate Christmas in the traditional European way, but with greater solemnity, staring with the feast of St. Nikolaos - claimed to be the original Santa Claus - on 6th December.
