This experience, in a nutshell

We will sail among breathtaking views!


Chios, home of Homer, in addition to its sea and beaches adorned with tamarisks, is known for masticha, a shrub that produces the resin used since ancient times as chewing gum. It perfumes the mouth and seems to have surprising aphrodisiac effects. The old town is built around the castle and the Byzantine and Genoese fortifications.


Lesbos, one of the largest islands of the Aegean, was the birthplace of Sappho, the great poetess of 6oo BC who spoke of love and sex between women, and gave rise to the term lesbian. The port of the lively capital Mytilni is dominated by the imposing Byzantine-Genoese fortress: in fact, in the fourteenth century the island was sold to the skilled Genoese adventurer Francesco Gattelusio who made it flourish. The Turkish hammam and the archaeological museum are interesting. The southern part of the island is characterized by large green coves.


Limnos, known for its wine, is home to some of Greece's most scenic beaches such as Paralia Thanòus lined with volcanic cliffs. Chios and Limnos are connected by planes and ferries.

Preveza, Antipaxos, Paxos and Corfu: between extraordinary landscapes and sea

Riccardo and "[hidden]" are a lord and a lady of the seas. Many years of experience and many miles have created a symbiosis. Boat well equipped with a complete set of sails and, when there are competent guests, available to use them. 3 cabins and two bathrooms, are more than enough, the comfort of modern boats is not to be pargoned but here you sail and explore every bay, and that type of cockpit is more than comfortable. Nice companions and open to new friendships. Coskipper of the highest level!! Marinella ..... and we are all covered and aligned. Greece never disappoints even in mid-August.

More than a sailing holiday we experienced a week (minus one day as we got off earlier) of continuous transfers, from 6 to 14 hours a day, sailing only the first two days, then due to jib problems only with the engine. Riccardo has to approach Catania for the winter storage of the boat and by selling the seats he has decided to earn money and get paid for the expenses. Old and uncomfortable boat (cockpit without cushions and also without supports for cell phones or glasses). Skipper's photo needs to be updated. Avoid.

Riccardo is a good person but the boat was not prepared to welcome guests, particularly in terms of cleanliness and order. Some episodes, which by an expert person should and could have been predicted and dealt with calmly, generated unnecessary anxiety (lack of fuel in the tender, staysail rigged at the last minute in critical circumstances, disorderly mooring and unmooring maneuvers, instructions to the crew not given sufficiently in advance and clarity, etc.). A general perception of approximation has generated a feeling of insecurity and discomfort which has unfortunately negatively affected the serenity and enjoyment of the holiday.
