This experience, in a nutshell

Beautiful sailing, idyllic landscapes and the pleasure of a well-kept cuisine. Emanuel and Annalisa are waiting for you to take you to discover the wonderful Sporades: lush islands, with pine forests that descend to the sea, golden sandy or white pebble beaches and crystal clear waters rich in biodiversity. Many know them as the islands of the movie "Mamma Mia!", for you they will be the perfect set for your dream vacation. Skiathos, the liveliest and liveliest await you; Skopelos, quiet and rich in history; Alonissos, protected marine park, monk seal refuge; Peristera and Kyra Panagia, uninhabited and reachable only by boat.


In the Sporades the prevailing summer wind, the Meltemi, is generally moderate and the distances between the islands are limited: close enough to offer a different landscape every day and far enough to offer a few hours of beautiful sailing, in which everyone can take part guided by the skippers.

During the stops we can sunbathe, swim, explore the seabed and posidonia meadows with mask and snorkel or paddle SUP along the coast. Shore excursions are also possible to visit the old villages, ports and fishing villages.


You sail aboard a 14-meter monohull, equipped for comfortable and safe navigation and led by two skippers with more than twenty years of experience and who can't wait to unfurl the sails to the wind. Even when sailing, the bimini remains open to offer shade and shelter from the sun and the comfortable cockpit can accommodate all guests. And when it's time to swim, the aft swim platform makes it easy to dive and ascent, with a hot shower to rinse off after swimming.


The skippers are not only in charge of the navigation, but also of the kitchen. On boarding you will find the galley already stowed with fresh and local products.

The days begin with a rich breakfast: Greek yogurt, honey, fresh and dried fruit, bread, butter, jams, cheeses and cold cuts. For lunch we prefer light and fresh dishes, inspired by Greek and Italian cuisine. In the evening we take more time to prepare grilled fish or meat, seasonal vegetables and, when we fish or find the right catch, raw seafood.

There are also evenings when we accompany you ashore so that you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine on your own.

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Skiathos.

Check-in: 5:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Skiathos.

Check-out: 8:00 AM

Leg 1

SKIATHOS

The holiday begins in the port of Skiathos, easily accessible from the airport, about 2 km away. Boarding at 18:00, assignment of cabins and luggage arrangement. A short sail takes us to a nearby bay where we will spend the first night at anchor.


The welcome aperitif and dinner are an opportunity to get to know each other and become familiar with the boat and the habits on board. The next morning we set sail: Skiathos parades aft and the sea of the Sporades opens up in front of us.


We will return to port on the last evening of the trip for dinner in the tavern, a walk through the alleys and the last purchases before disembarking, scheduled for Tuesday at 9.00.

SKIATHOS

Leg 2

ALONISSOS

The island is located in the heart of the largest National Marine Park in Greece. Its waters are home to a rich biodiversity: with a little luck we can also spot the rare Mediterranean monk seal, a protected species.

The island is a succession of coves where the turquoise of the sea meets the white of the pebble beaches, giving us seabeds to explore with mask and fins.

Stages to choose from based on weather and preferences:


Gerakas, to the north, a remote bay with a rockier and more bare landscape.


Kokkinokastro, Leftos Gialos, Tzortzi Gialos and Chrisi Milia, bays on the green east coast, where we stop for swimming.


Megalos Mourtias to the south, a beautiful sheltered bay from which to walk to Chora, the old picturesque hilltop village.


Stop in the small port of Votsi or in the port of Patiriri, from which you can reach Chora by public transport. Technical stop for any refueling.

ALONISSOS

Leg 3

KYRA PANAGIA

We sail between rocky promontories and slopes of Mediterranean scrub towards the northernmost point of our itinerary, the uninhabited island of Kyra Panagia. Here the coasts become more rugged, the traces of human presence rarer. Panagia is a Greek name of the Virgin Mary, to whom the monastery of the island is dedicated. We could visit it with a stop at the landing place of Monastiri, from which the path that climbs from the shore starts.

Stages to choose from depending on the weather:


Agios Petros to the south, with the small islet near the entrance to the bay.


Planitis Bay to the north. Reachable through a narrow entrance, which opens into a large basin enclosed between the hills, it offers an oasis of tranquility. The calm waters inside are perfect for swimming, exploring the seabed full of life and simply relaxing.

KYRA PANAGIA

Leg 4

PERISTERA

The island is located a short distance from Alonissos. We will sail in the scenic stretch of sea that separates them, one of the most unspoiled in the Mediterranean. Relaxing day between sailing, swimming, snorkeling and explorations by SUP or tender of the bays.

Stages to choose from based on weather and preferences:


Ormos Vasiliko, on the west coast, overlooking the arm of the sea that separates Peristera from Alonissos.


Kalami, also known as Navagio, on the west coast: it is home to the wreck of the barge Alonissos, around which you can observe fish while snorkeling.


Ormos Peristeri or the small bay of Kokkalia on the south coast with crystal clear waters.


Ormos Klima, on the east coast, with small pebble beaches and turquoise water, to choose from on days with calm seas.

PERISTERA

Leg 5

SKOPELOS

The island immortalized in the film "Mamma Mia!" offers lush nature, golden beaches with turquoise waters, but also places on the mainland to explore, such as the island's capital and the many Byzantine churches.

Stages to choose from based on weather and preferences:


Stop at the bays of Cala Milia, Panormos or Kastani (Mamma Mia beach!) on the west coast.


Chora of Skopelos, with its intertwining stairways, balconies, courtyards and small churches, can be reached on foot from the main port or by public transport from the bay of Stafylos on the south coast. To taste the tiropita, the traditional cheese cake with a spiral shape.


From Chora you can walk or taxi to the 18th-century monastery of Evangelistria where the first Greek flag was woven.

SKOPELOS

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Annalisa and Emanuel hosted a very nice and safe sailing trip in their boat involving everyone. Despite the changed route plans due to bad weather the previous week, they were able to replan us a nice trip in the Cyclades Islands. We visited beautiful natural bays, enjoyed sailing, swimming, snorkling, sun bathing, fishing, ancient historical places and delicious fresh home-cooked food. Annalisa and Emanuel are the best and most patient hosts I have ever had!

Annalisa and Emanuel were professional and nice, we unfortunately had the worst week of wind in sailor's memory and we were forced to always stay still without sailing except for 3 hours on the first day so I can't talk about the cruise destinations except for syros that they propose and that, unlike other islands, it is not crowded and therefore maintains something of the Greek spirit with beautiful villages and has beautiful trekking and beaches (the beaches unfortunately due to wind were not frequentable but I saw them in the treks). Beautiful and spotless boat absolutely comfortable. What can I say? Hope to see you again next year! Maybe with better luck for the climate! Thank you

It was the first experience on a boat... unique and spectacular! Annalisa and Emanuel were able to make us feel immediately at ease. Both, experienced and close-knit sailors, emanate an immense passion for what they do, able to transmit it to all their companions. Two sunny, kind, helpful and knowledgeable people who take you to discover fantastic and exclusive places; deserted beaches and islands, far from the chaos, where it is possible to admire all the beauty of the Greek islands both during the day and during the night with breathtaking starry skies. The boat is well organized, allowing you to move freely and safely even in small spaces. Moreover, Annalisa and Emanuel are also fantastic cooks, capable of preparing exquisite delicacies with local flavors and in great abundance! Also thanks to our travel companions, we can say that we embarked as perfect strangers and then disembarked feeling part of a group of friends. Thank you very much Emanuel and Annalisa for this unforgettable experience... See you soon!

First experience on a sailing boat, it far exceeded my expectations! Emanuel & Annalisa are fantastic: they steer the boat with great safety, even when the weather conditions are not always easy due to the Meltemi and they know how to find sheltered bays where they can enjoy the wonderful Greek sea and breathtaking landscapes, far from the typical crowds of August. They cooked delicious dishes for us, making us discover and taste many local ingredients and flavors. The boat is well organized and equipped with everything you need to spend a pleasant and relaxing week. It is definitely not a holiday for everyone: it requires flexibility, a spirit of adaptation and the desire to share spaces and experiences. But once you try it, it is a type of holiday that remains in the heart. Hop on as a guest and come down as a friend! Thank you very much Annalisa & Emanuel, and fair winds!
