This experience, in a nutshell

sailing cruise  is first and foremost a holiday of simplicity and freedom. At sea, time expands and harmony with nature is restored . People come to rest, to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, from the rhythms and duties of life in the city.

The boat holiday is suitable for everyone, but it is necessary to be in good general physical shape and equipped with good agility to get on and off the tender, the service dinghy that will often take us from the roadsteads to the shore.



We will alternate a few days with longer sailings with quiet days stretching our legs on land, visiting the most beautiful coves and beaches. A very rich itinerary, with islands of great interest for their nature and for the vestiges of a thousand-year-old past. 



The actual itinerary will be defined on the spot based on wind and sea conditions and the forecast for the following days. You can visit the lush and deserted Diapontie islands on the north side of Corfu, Erikussa and Othoni, and then descend to Lefkada via Paxos and Antipaxos. Or head directly south and then go to visit the islands of the inland sea, Ithaca, Meganissi, Kalamos and Kastos if the weather does not allow you to pass through the Diapontias.



We will embark at the port of Mandraki, inside the old fortress, a wonderful scenery in the center of Corfu to visit the beautiful town of Kerkira (Corfu), a UNESCO heritage site, in the evening, taking to the sea the next morning

We experiment with the osta with some typical Greek dances and have an evening.

The 10 days on a sailing boat were beautiful. An experience that filled my eyes and heart... it would not have been such if I had not sailed in the company of beautiful people with whom a pleasant connection was created. I thank the "Super Skipper Andrea", a professional: competent, reliable and generous. A holiday that I recommend to those who love the sea and freedom!
