This experience, in a nutshell

Join the second section of a long unforgettable journey from Monfalcone to Tel Aviv, round trip.

DATE LIMITE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS: 10 JULY 2018

NB: The fifth available seat is in the dinette

Between the year 1098 and 1202, Venice undertook four crusades.
Then, in 1571, the Republic of Venice participated in the most celebrated of the naval battles: the Battle of Lepanto.
We will retrace those routes with peaceful motivations and the passionate spirit of adventure-hungry navigators.
This is a journey .. we will adapt to the weather and we will do what the weather will suggest.

We will leave from the lagoon of Venice to skirt the Croatian coast, exploring cities like Split and Ragusa, Durres in Albania, passing through Crete and Cyprus and then arriving in Israel, near the city of Tel Aviv.
From there you will enter the country to visit Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the lake of Tiberias and many other places sacred to the three monotheistic religions.
For the return route we will go to Turkey, mooring in the ancient town of Antalya, then Bodrum, Smyrna and again Crete, and finally the last stage that will take us back home.

It is possible to book all the way, all the way back, or individual routes.

La Via del Leone - From Dubrovnik to Monfalcone, sailing through Istria

With Fabrizio I finished the long stretch of the Via del Leone participating in the week from Dubrovnik to Monfalcone. It was an exciting experience, the boat is beautiful and very carefully prepared both for a comfortable cruise and for demanding navigations and this denotes the great love that Fabrizio has for her as well as an excellent experience and preparation for long navigations. Knowing how to convey all this and involve the crew with balance and empathy is not for everyone, congratulations, I will gladly return in the future!

The Way of the Lion - From Corinth to Dubrovnik in Croatia, passing through Corfu to Ionian Greece

With this cruise I crossed 3 Aegean, Ionian and Adriatic seas aboard a magnificent Grand Soleil 45 well maintained and set up in such a way as to border on perfection. A Cutter with 8 winches in the cockpit that made the maneuvers quick and precise. I have never sailed on such a well-kept boat, set up with such care and impeccably conducted by Fabrizio, the skipper. To make the cruise pleasant also the crews who followed one another in the 2 weeks, Matteo and Dino, 2 sailors from Lake Maggiore, who proved to be perfect in facing the 12 hours of Meltemi that accompanied us from the island of Tinos (Cyclades) to Athens the first week. Nilla and Roberto a couple of peers, adventurous and cultured, with whom I shared the discovery of places full of charm that we met on the route from Corfu - Dubrovnik. Truly a nice cruise

The Way of the Lion - From Thessaloniki to Greece to Istanbul, Turkey

August 2019 Thessaloniki-Istanbul Fabrizio greeted us on board with a big smile. The destination, Istanbul, is far away: two weeks of navigation on a sea that is anything but easy. However, Fabrizio's competence and scrupulousness has always made us feel in total safety. The boat is splendid and was already ready for the Meltemi (with armed torment) but when the wind is too much (50 knots on the quay) you do not risk, you stay in port, at the cost of having to give up the bath anchorages. The Aegean in August is not for holiday cruise passengers, it is for adventurous, but responsible, sailors. Certainly I would be more than ready to embark again with Fabrizio, indeed, I would have stayed there more than willingly for the return (finally with wind in favor), but the holidays end, hopefully next year!
