This experience, in a nutshell

There are countless and beautiful locations with many possible variations.

The navigation is not demanding, the climate is mild, the vegetation is luxuriant, rainfall during the summer is almost absent, the sea is calm sheltered between the islands and the mainland.



Under a great sun, carried by the wind, from port to port, from cove to cove, we will discover the villages and beautiful bays of Ionian Greece The itineraries are simple, the stages are short, the day flows relaxed, unpretentious.



There are countless and beautiful places with many possible variations: Lefkada, Ithaca, the island of myth, the green Kefalonia, and the wonderful smaller islands of Kalamois, Kastos and Meganisi, the atolls of Atokos and Arcudi, the rocks of Formikula, the sleepy villages on the mainland of Paleros and Mytikas, where time seems to have stopped.



These seas were the scene of Ulysses' legendary journey to his beloved Ithaca and have been at the center of very important historical events, rich trade and endless disputes over the centuries. Scattered throughout the archipelago, traces of it will be found, between history and mythology.

The enchantment of the sea - Sailing in Ionian Greece: Kefalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada, and the smaller islands

Che dire.. È stata una settimana bellissima. Il mare, le veleggiate, i bagni, i pranzi in compagnia., il dormire cullati dalle onde. Oltre le mie aspettative sotto tutti i punti di vista. Andrea è uno skipper attento, preciso, che mette tutti a proprio agio. Accomodante, paziente, presente ma mai invadente. Pronto alla risata e alla compagnia, conosce un sacco di cose e posti e sa consigliare. Se potete partite, io lo rifarei immediatamente. Buon vento ????

Sarà indimenticabile! Indimenticabile per i luoghi magici e incantevoli, indimenticabile per la magia della barca a vela, indimenticabile perché Andrea ha fatto in modo da farci vivere natura, mare e atmosfere del posto e conviviali in una maniera straordinaria. Tra veleggiate e rade e soste in porto con ritmi che cullavano il corpo e l’anima.

Grazie Andrea!! Gran lavoratore e professionista, sempre disponibile e pronto alla risata, ci ha condotto nella nostra prima vacanza in barca a vela che sicuramente non sarà l'ultima. Conosce luoghi, storia e persone ma soprattutto ti fa sentire in famiglia! La Grecia è meravigliosa ma con una vacanza così lo è ancora di più. Grazie ancora Andrea, by Eli&Marco

Settimana rigenerante x corpo , spirito, mente… grazie ad Andrea, e alle sue conoscenze ho ammirato baie e luoghi mozzafiato , vissuto l’emozione di stare in mare con due foche che notavano a pochi metri da me, e avventurarmi tra grotte e scenari meravigliosi. persona molto gentile e disponibile, sempre pronto ad assecondare le esigenze dell’equipaggio, condita da quell’umorismo che piace a me… da spaccarmi dalle risate. TOP!
