This experience, in a nutshell

Turquoise sea, breathtaking views, amazing archaeological finds: this is the program of a week along the Lycian coast. The Gulf of Fethiye, between the steep peaks of the Taurus and the vast expanse of the bay, enhances the charm of the ruins of the temple of Kabasbos. The wide bay of Kargi Buku, is beautiful, as is Innice Iskelesi.


Boynuz Boku, similar to a wide fjord, framed by extensive pine forests.

In Tom Bay there are the remains of ancient rock tombs. Not far from Kizilkuyruk Koyu Bay you can visit the ruins of ancient Lydae, a splendid solitary site. It is beautiful to moor in the bay of Delikada and, after a nice swim, with a local boat go up the river that flows through reeds and herons, observing the spectacular rock tombs of the fourth century BC. embedded in the mountain. On the way back, we'll stop at the well-protected and visitable Isuzu Beach, one of the favorite beaches for sea turtlesto lay their eggs.

Once we reach our boat, we will leave to reach the great Gulf of Marmaris: jagged in a succession of beautiful bays and dominated by the old castle of Suleiman the Magnificent. After mooring between the high red and steep cliffs of Ekincik we will be able to visit the remains of the ancient city of Caunos.


A beautiful sail will take us to Rodì, our last destination, to its splendid historic center and its beautiful bays. Rhodes is one of the most visited islands in Greece. Historically famous for the Colossus of Rhodes that dominated the entrance to Mandràky, the ancient port, since 1100 it was ruled by the most influential families in the Dodecanese and the Republic of Genoa.

In its large historic center you can still breathe the atmosphere created by the knights who took refuge there after the Crusades from 1309 until 1522. A visit to the perfectly preserved walls, the Palace of the Grand Master, the Street of the Knights, the Mandraki port are not to be missed. The mosques of Suleiman and Ibrahim Pasha reveal the Turkish imprint of a long domination.

Great sailing from Athens to Mykonos in the Cyclades

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.

Great sailing from Athens to Mykonos in the Cyclades

I participated in a week on a sailing boat with high expectations, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing in many ways. First of all, the spaces on board were extremely limited: I had to sleep outside every night due to the lack of comfort inside and I was not the only one to do so. In addition, the boat turned out to be quite dirty and poorly maintained, which negatively affected the stay. The skipper, although probably with years of navigation behind him, seemed to me not very suitable for this type of experience. In addition to obvious communication difficulties (he often did not hear), he completely lacked initiative. He seemed more on vacation than us: he didn't help with daily activities, and in general he didn't make himself useful, behaving more like a guest than like a person on board. From a technical point of view, I didn't feel particularly confident. The skipper, in my opinion, no longer had the physical strength necessary to manage the maneuvers: in seven days we opened the sails only twice, and always with great caution, out of fear. On a sailing holiday, you would expect to... sail. A real shame, because the company and the sea were wonderful. But with different and more professional management, the experience could have been totally different. I hope that the organization will think seriously about these aspects.

Athens, Delphi, Patras and the excitement of the Corinth Canal

The trip was very nice, we were able to visit Delphi which for me was the best part of the trip. Riccardo is a good person and a good sailor, but he hardly speaks English or French, which was a problem when it came to communicating with us and with the marinas. He could not understand his instructions and became very nervous when performing the maneuvers. I should have specified that you need some experience to travel with him. He gets very nervous and starts shouting in Italian. He is quite old, I think he would have to sail alone in Italy, which is his comfort zone. The boat is small ideal for 4. To be honest, I don't think I'll travel with him again. But Greece is wonderful

Skipper is not speaking English at all, however he marked language knowledge on his profile . The communication issues made strange situations on the boat. Boat wasn't 100% clean when we were onboarded and we were also not allowed to use the inside showers on the boat (we had no stops in Ports with shower opportunities during the cruise )
