Deskripsi
A 16-day luxury yacht charter from Barcelona to Athens offers an extraordinary route through six countries and several of the Mediterranean's most celebrated cruising regions. Travelling through France, Monaco, Italy, Malta, Croatia, Montenegro and Greece, the itinerary links the sophisticated Western Mediterranean with the historic harbours and island landscapes of the Adriatic before concluding in Athens.
The experience is hosted aboard an elegant 62-metre Codecasa yacht with seven cabins for up to 18 guests. Seventeen professional crew members provide comprehensive service throughout the voyage, creating a private environment in which navigation, guest comfort, dining arrangements, housekeeping and daily operations are handled with precision.
Barcelona is a highly practical and attractive embarkation point. The city's strong international connectivity, advanced marina services and cosmopolitan waterfront allow guests to arrive comfortably and begin the charter without unnecessary delays. Once onboard, they can settle into the yacht's refined surroundings while the crew prepares for the first passage toward southern France.
About Our Barcelona, Adriatic and Athens Charter Service
This voyage has been designed for guests who want more than a conventional regional cruise. It crosses the French Riviera, Italian islands, central Mediterranean waters and the eastern Adriatic, creating a continuous progression of landscapes and cultures. The itinerary can be refined around local operating conditions and the group's interests, always subject to the captain's judgement and applicable port arrangements.
With nearly one crew member for every guest, service can remain attentive without feeling intrusive. Guests may request a relaxed daily rhythm or a fuller programme of shore visits and destination exploration. The yacht's lounges, sun deck, exterior bar, jacuzzi and dining spaces provide a luxurious base that remains consistent even as the surroundings change each day.
Day 1 - Barcelona, Spain: The charter begins with a professional welcome at Barcelona's marina. Guests are introduced to the captain and crew before being shown to their cabins. The yacht then departs the city, providing time for a first meal, sunset drinks and an introduction to the facilities available during the 16-day voyage.
Day 2 - Marseille, France: Marseille offers a lively opening to the French section, with a strong maritime identity and a coastal setting shaped by centuries of Mediterranean trade. Guests may visit the waterfront and nearby historic areas or enjoy the views from the yacht while the crew prepares a relaxed onboard programme.
Day 3 - Saint-Tropez, France: Continuing along the Riviera brings the yacht to Saint-Tropez. The destination's fashionable reputation, elegant marina environment and surrounding coastline create an unmistakably Mediterranean atmosphere. The yacht provides privacy and spaciousness away from the busier shore, allowing guests to experience the destination on their own terms.
Day 4 - Monaco: Monaco presents a striking combination of steep urban scenery, prestigious harbour facilities and luxury lifestyle. Guests can spend time in the principality before returning to the yacht for dinner or evening relaxation. The sun deck is particularly well positioned for enjoying the coastal lights and harbour activity.
Day 5 - Portofino, Italy: Entering Italian waters, the itinerary reaches Portofino. Its small harbour, colourful buildings and surrounding hills create a classic Riviera setting. The day can include an unhurried visit ashore, a scenic cruise along the coastline and a refined onboard meal prepared around the group's timing.
Day 6 - Elba Island, Italy: Elba offers a calmer island environment near the Tuscan coast. Clear waters, green slopes and an authentic maritime character provide a pleasant contrast to the glamour of the Riviera. Guests may spend the day relaxing, exercising in the gym, reading on deck or exploring a suitable local harbour.
Day 7 - Sardinia, Italy: The route continues to Sardinia, where sculpted coastlines and attractive anchorages create ideal surroundings for luxury yacht travel. The crew coordinates a flexible day that may include coastal viewing, time in the jacuzzi, informal dining and opportunities to enjoy the water where safe and permitted.
Day 8 - Sicily, Italy: Sicily brings the journey deeper into the central Mediterranean. Its varied shoreline and historic maritime communities offer a broad range of possible experiences. Guests can enjoy the island from the privacy of the yacht or include a carefully timed visit ashore.
Day 9 - Malta: Malta's fortifications, harbour architecture and strategic maritime history create a distinctive arrival. The destination marks the final central Mediterranean stop before the yacht proceeds toward the Adriatic. Evening service onboard can be arranged around the harbour surroundings, providing a memorable transition between regions.
Day 10 - Dubrovnik, Croatia: Dubrovnik introduces the Croatian coast with dramatic stone walls, historic architecture and clear Adriatic waters. Arrival by yacht provides an impressive view of the city's maritime setting. Guests may explore the historic centre and waterfront before returning to the vessel's spacious guest areas.
Day 11 - Split, Croatia: Cruising north leads to Split, a city where ancient heritage and contemporary coastal life are closely connected. The route along the Dalmatian coast reveals islands, channels and mountain-backed landscapes. The crew can adapt meal and shore arrangements around the day's preferred pace.
Day 12 - Hvar, Croatia: Hvar combines island elegance, historic architecture and a refined yachting atmosphere. The destination is well suited to a balanced day of exploration and onboard leisure. Guests can enjoy the waterfront, visit local sites or remain on the yacht for a quieter experience overlooking the Adriatic.
Day 13 - Kotor, Montenegro: The approach to Kotor is among the most visually dramatic sections of the itinerary. Mountains rise around the winding bay, creating a setting that differs markedly from the open coastlines visited earlier. The yacht's exterior decks offer excellent vantage points throughout the approach.
Day 14 - Budva, Montenegro: Budva adds a more open coastal experience to the Montenegro section. Guests may explore the historic waterfront and surrounding shoreline while the crew manages preparations for the final passage into Greece. The day can also serve as a relaxed recovery point after several active destination visits.
Day 15 - Corfu, Greece: Entering Greek waters, the yacht reaches Corfu. The island's green landscapes, historic influences and attractive coastline make it a natural bridge between the Adriatic and the wider Greek cruising region. Guests can enjoy a final island day before the voyage progresses to Athens.
Day 16 - Athens, Greece: The charter finishes in Athens after an extensive journey across the Mediterranean and Adriatic. The crew coordinates disembarkation and luggage handling, allowing guests to conclude the experience smoothly. Athens offers excellent international connections for onward travel.

Outside, the sun deck offers a jacuzzi, exterior bar and several areas for lounging and socialising. These spaces are ideal for appreciating the changing scenery, from the Riviera and Italian islands to the Croatian archipelago and mountain-lined Bay of Kotor. Crew members remain available to provide refreshments and prepare the decks according to the programme.
A well-equipped gym supports active guests, and modern entertainment systems provide options during longer passages or evenings onboard. Elevator access between principal guest levels improves convenience across the large yacht. Elegant dining facilities complete an onboard environment designed to deliver consistent luxury across a geographically diverse route.

French Riviera sophistication is followed by Italian island scenery, Malta's historic harbours, Croatia's Dalmatian coastline, Montenegro's dramatic bays and Greece's enduring maritime appeal.
Supported by 17 crew members and a yacht equipped for extended private cruising, the route delivers scale, variety and personal service in equal measure.
