This experience, in a nutshell

Leaving Bari and its beautiful seafront we will sail to Brindisi .

Among the Apulian localities, it deserves a place of honor thanks to the lively historic center, the fortress, the culture and the beauty that can be breathed everywhere.

Santa Maria di Leuca , the next stop, is at the extreme south of the Apulian peninsula and acts as a watershed between the Ionian and the Adriatic: on some occasions it is possible to see the currents of the two seas meet and merge. Along the sensational promontories we will arrive at Gallipoli .

Located on a peninsula it is truly fascinating. The picturesque medieval village was built on a small island now home to a lively fish market where authentic delicacies can be tasted. Crossing the Ionian Sea, we will arrive in Cirò Marina , an ancient village surrounded by a 15th century wall.

A few miles and here is Crotone, the ancient Greek colony of Kroton , today the modern provincial capital, home to a museum that opens a window on the art and history of Magna Graecia.

The holiday is part of a journey in weekly stages. You can continue the cruise to Milazzo.

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.

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
