Kythira is not among the most famous islands in Greece, but in my opinion it is among the most beautiful and authentic. I recommend arriving a few days earlier to discover its beautiful villages, museums, archaeological area and numerous scenic trails.

On Saturday afternoon, after settling into the cabin, a moment of mutual knowledge and a detailed briefing, we will do the galley all together. It will be an opportunity to understand what and how much to buy for the week.

We will try to take into account everyone's tastes and desires, but on the boat it is essential to be flexible: net of intolerances and allergies (which will naturally be respected), it is necessary to adapt to the menus proposed and what will be available.

Meals on board

I usually cook myself, with the help of some volunteers, but I am always happy to welcome suggestions and proposals. An evening at the restaurant will be a pleasant alternative.

Everyone collaborates in life on board; The cleaning of common areas and dishes is generally entrusted to the sailor, with the support of the crew.

The next day, depending on the most favorable weather conditions, we will set sail for a week of real sailing. We can tackle a 4–6 hour full sail crossing to the famous bay of Elafonissos, or opt for shorter routes to the shelters north of Kythira.

A total of about 70–100 miles are planned, with several possible stops along the coasts of the Peloponnese. The route will be defined day by day based on the weather and the protection offered by the coasts with respect to our bow. Relaxation and swimming in the typical atmosphere of the Greek islands will not be lacking, but the priority will always be the safety of navigation and respect for the time available. Disembarkation is scheduled for Saturday morning in Kalamata.

We will share spaces in friendship, participate in maneuvers and cook together, collaborating according to the inclinations and abilities of each one: a real shared cruise.

Single occupancy in a double cabin with private bathroom is subject to a 50% surcharge.

The Magdalena is not a charter boat. It offers ample space, comfort and all the essentials, without excess. It does not have air conditioning, watermaker or generator, but we can count on the silence and the natural breeze, which is never lacking.

It is equipped with a large tank for sanitary and drinking water: with careful but stress-free use, we will be able to face the entire week without the need for refueling. Each cabin has two portholes and a small fan, to ensure excellent ventilation.
