This experience, in a nutshell

We will travel in a beautiful scenery among green islands emerging from an emerald sea, among myths and history of ancient Greece, we will taste local cuisine, we will stop in exclusive bays, we will sail with the help of Eolo on sailing yachts led by experienced and qualified skippers ready to teach the techniques of sailing.

This is our proposal for the spring/summer 2024 activity, aimed at sailing lovers and those who want to try the experience of traveling and living on a boat. Sailing in these waters does not involve long transfers, in fact most of the journeys are on short stretches and in calm waters where there is no shortage of wind


We will divide the tasks of navigation and meal preparation, respecting our travel companions and above all the places we will visit, attentive to the ecosystem.


For those who wish, there will be the opportunity to learn the techniques of sailing yacht management and management. Useful for those who need to build miles.


Expert guides

The skippers (national sailing instructors) are great connoisseurs of the area, we have chosen to sail between these islands because we believe that it is the most beautiful place in the Mediterranean to fully enjoy a sailing holiday even for those who are at their first experience. There is no shortage of wind and you can sail peacefully in a poorly formed sea close to the countless islands of the archipelago. We know the most beautiful and affordable places, both in terms of offer and quality, which we choose according to the period and the weather forecast.


VADEMECUM FOR ARGONAUTS

Emotions and values - Choosing to go on a sailing cruise is a unique experience that enriches the mind and body, gives emotions, nurtures values - such as sociability, cheerfulness, collaboration, respect for nature, calm, reflection, sharing and efficiency. It teaches you to get in tune with the forces of nature: the wind, the sea, the sun.


Please note: the program may be subject to change in relation to weather conditions and/or on the instructions of the skipper.

All participants in our experiences will be registered with the sports association and covered by accident insurance.

Leg 2

Pointing the bow northwards we will go up the channel between Ithaca and Kefalonia with an intermediate stop in the bay. In the evening we will choose whether to stop in Fiscardo or in an adjacent bay or a small bay north of Kefalonia (naturalistic enchantment).

If the sea conditions allow it, a stop for lunch in the bay of Aphaia (northeast Ithaca) is to be scheduled.

With the mistral on the way -away with the wind- towards Lefkada/Meganisi.

Depending on the period, I will be able to indicate the most suitable choice.

Gone with the wind, Termoli-Lefkada 1st step: Termoli-Brindisi

È stato splendido poter navigare attraverso il mare di Tremiti e Gargano tutto per noi, senza la folla dei mesi estivi. La barca è ampia, pulita, ben organizzata e portarla a vela è sempre un piacere, specialmente lanciati al traverso in direzione San Domino ;) Posti magnifici, ottima compagnia e scorpacciate di buon cibo hanno caratterizzato tutta la vacanza. Leo è simpatico, disponibile e condivide volentieri i suoi skills come skipper, dando indicazioni in modo chiaro e calmo a chi vuole partecipare alla conduzione della barca. Buona Grecia! Spero di rivedervi presto per mare!

È stata un’ottima vacanza in buona compagnia. Lo skipper Leo è simpatico, affabile, disponibile e molto competente oltre che ottimo cuoco. La barca era pulita con cabine spaziose e confortevoli anche se purtroppo il clima non è stato caldissimo per cui alla sera a dormire ho avuto un po’ freddo nonostante ci fosse in dotazione un piumino. È andato comunque tutto bene, ho visto posti molto belli e arrivare dal mare nel cuore di paesi e città ritengo sia sempre un privilegio. Grazie a tutti

In the sea of Ulysses! Discovering the most beautiful islands

09/19/2022

Ernesto C.

Leo è stato da subito uno skipper disponibile, simpatico e paziente. Ci ha accompagnato in un bel giro delle isole ioniche e ci ha fatto scoprire posti deliziosi, baie calme e porticcioli con un fascino di altri tempi. A bordo ha permesso (a chi voleva) di aiutarlo dando indicazioni e fiducia. Col passare della settimana abbiamo avuto modo anche di apprezzare le doti culinarie (pollo al curry incredibile, per esempio) e umane con piacevoli serate di chiacchiere. Non abbiamo avuto tantissimo vento ma un ogni occasione, navigazione, ormeggi, lettura del meteo, ha dato impressione di grande competenza. Non vedo l'ora di provare un'altra esperienza, in questi o altri mari. Grazie Leo, see you soon!
