This experience, in a nutshell

From Kos, the city of Hippocrates, protected by the imposing castle of the Knights of St. John and famous for its hot springs, we will move to the small and charming island of Pserimos.


We will moor near the village of Avlakia, where it develops in a beautiful bay with a beautiful beach of soft light sand, bathed by a sea that is almost always calm and quiet, where you can observe the remains of ancient houses and sometimes find parts of ceramics of the time in the sand.


From here we will leave for the island of Kalymnos, known for its sponges, beautiful bays and breathtaking sunsets . For those who want to take a break from swimming and sunbathing, Kalymnos offers many rock routes where you can try your hand at free-climbing. There is no shortage of several gulfs to explore on foot.


The navigation will continue to discover Patmos, its natural port of Skala, and its village in perfect Cycladic style, with the dazzling white houses and courtyards that stand out against the gray stone of the monastery of St. John.


After Mount Athos, the island we will meet is the spiritual center of the Orthodox religion: a small Eden where the nymph Calypso kept Ulysses in slavery. Rich in churches with typical blue domes and beautiful bays, Lipsi will make you fall in love!


A beautiful sail will finally take us to the verdant island of Leros, in its magnificent gulf with its enchanting capital, a true triumph of hibiscus and jasmine.

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
