What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families This 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 suits groups of up to 10 looking for comfortable cruising with plenty of space, four cabins mean no one's squeezed in, and the convertible saloon table gives you flexible entertaining options.
Well-equipped yacht You're getting serious kit here: bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier, lazy jack and sprayhood reduce the physical demands of sailing, and the teak cockpit with cushions plus bimini top create a genuinely pleasant cruising environment. Snorkeling gear and dinghy are bonuses for exploring anchorages.
Strong value proposition At €3,479/week from a highly-rated operator (5/5 across 8 reviews), this represents solid value for a modern, well-appointed four-cabin yacht in the Greek islands, especially when you factor in the included equipment and the fact Athenian Yachts clearly knows how to maintain their fleet and keep clients happy.
One practical note You'll be flying into Athens and transferring to the base (location not specified in the listing, so confirm the exact port when booking); most charter bases near Athens are 1-2 hours from the airport, which is straightforward enough for a long-haul arrival.
