This experience, in a nutshell

A sailing trip to the southern Ionian Islands is an experience that embraces the wild beauty and laid-back atmosphere of the Eastern Mediterranean. The southern Ionian Islands, located off the coasts of Greece and Albania, are a collection of fascinating islands steeped in history, characterized by crystal clear waters, protected bays, and charming coastal towns.




Embarking on a sailboat to explore this archipelago offers a unique opportunity to embrace the slow pace of sailing and immerse yourself in the islands' breathtaking culture and nature.

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Kefalonia.

Check-in: 9:00 AM

Our trip ends here:

Kefalonia.

Check-out: 6:00 PM

Leg 1

MONDAY

Boarding is scheduled in the morning. At Agia Effimi, we will make a galley then we leave the moorings and leave for our first sail going up the east coast of Kefalonia if the weather conditions allow it, otherwise we will pass south of Ithaca. We will sink in some bays for a swim in crystal clear waters and get ready for the night.


Leg 2

TUESDAY

We continue our adventure towards Meganisi. The island is part of the Tilevoides archipelago, made up of 16 very small islands and the area to the south is characterized by caves and coves with lush vegetation and crystal clear sea. We'll continue on to Mytika, a pretty village with pastel-colored houses. In addition to its crystal clear and transparent waters, it stands out for its delicious restaurants whose lights are reflected on the water. After dinner we will reach our boat in the bay in front of the beach.


Leg 3

WEDNESDAY

From Mytika we will reach Kalamos and, scrolling along the east coast, we will find fabulous places to snorkel and, for those who want it, use the SUP. In the afternoon we will take advantage of the mistral to descend again towards Kastos and we will sink into the bay just north of the village which is worth a visit!


Leg 4

THURSDAY

The navigation will lead us to the Formicule: a tiny archipelago south of Kalamos, where we will be able to observe a family of monk seals swimming among rocks and inlets. It is one of the most fascinating places! In the afternoon we will head to Ithaca where swimming in clear waters, with shades from blue to green, spectacular beaches and truly suggestive rock formations await us. A short visit to Vathi, the capital of the island, and then look for a quiet bay where you can bottom and spend the night.


Leg 5

FRIDAY

After breakfast we will evaluate the weather and decide whether to sail towards Oxia or continue north of Ithaca in search of postcard scenery and incredibly transparent waters. Based on these choices, we will spend the night in a bay of Ithaca or northeast of Kefalonia, or in Oxia, famous for its sunset, enjoying a barbecue barbecue made on a boat under the stars.


Leg 6

SATURDAY

If we are in Oxia we will sail to Kefalonia. We will land at one of its beaches on the east coast, explore the south side and then reach Agia Effimia or Sami, a quiet and picturesque village and typical Greek taverns to spend a nice evening with friends.


Leg 7

SUNDAY

After breakfast it's time to disembark. We say goodbye to Greece, which gave us a holiday that we will remember for a long time.


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.

I spent a wonderful holiday with Giovanni and Stefania and Remo. Always attentive to comfort, to take care of life on board. Giovanni is a confident captain, with a lot of experience, nice, always ready to share his knowledge of navigation. I learned a lot with him and I thank him very much. Stefania makes delicious cuisine and makes sure of everyone's well-being. They give us lots of tips for things to do and see on the stops on land. I will certainly return to do another week of navigation with them. Unfortunately I didn't like Albania so much but the other islands were lovely. [hidden] is a beautiful and safe boat. Thanks for everything

We had a wonderful week for our first week-long experience on a sailboat. Stefania and Giovanni are exceptional hosts. Very welcoming, we immediately felt at home. Stefania is a remarkable cook, very attentive to introduce us to Greek cuisine. Everything is fresh and homemade! Giovanni is always on hand to help us discover exceptional sites and far from the tourist crowds. The boat is very comfortable. We shared a lot of authentic moments. We are ready to come back very soon! We highly recommend this cruise both for the kindness and competence of our hosts and for the beauty of the places we have visited. Every day was a new paradise. 1000 thanks!

Weekend on a sailing boat in Chioggia and Venice

Our first sailing experience was wonderful. Giovanni and Stefania are very special people and in love with sea life.... And you can't help but be fascinated by their stories. Arriving in Venice from the sea was a priceless magic.... Not to mention all the secret corners of land and sea that they made us discover. Stefania's cuisine is truly of a high level as well as being very respectful and attentive to the culinary tastes of her guests. The boat seemed very comfortable and perfectly maintained, you sleep well and the spaces are very livable. We can only recommend booking an experience with Giovanni and Stefania, I'm sure you won't regret it..... We are already thinking of repeating it soon. PS. 1 Finally, they also taught us how to recognize a true inhabitant of Venice..... But let's let them explain the trick to you????. PS.2 thanks to sailsquare for letting us discover it
