This experience, in a nutshell

The Aeolian Islands are so beautiful that they do not cease to amaze even after many trips.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their charm and for the volcanic phenomena that take place there, they are a magical place where history and myth merge.

Every day a different corner to see, enchanting bays reachable only by sea, beaches, craters and clubs for romantic evenings. Our cruise will depart from the largest and best equipped of the islands: Lipari.

After visiting its castle and pumice beach, we will leave for the nearby island of Salina then, we will head for the small, extraordinary island of Filicudi, wild, solitary, surrounded by a sea of spectacular beauty and crossed by a single road and a dense network of mule tracks.

Our next stop will be Panarea, perhaps the most aristocratic and suave of the Aeolian Islands.

The time to take a nice sail in a sea of incomparable beauty and here is Stromboli, the powerful island-volcano. It will be fantastic to sail in front of the sciara del fuoco, to hear the roars of coming from the depths of the mountain of lava and ash.

It will also be wonderful to relax on top of the delightful village and enjoy the amazing panorama. Hoisted the sails here is the delightful rock of Basiluzzo and the island of Vulcano with its spectacular sulphur mines, the warm water that flows from the bottom of the sea. From there we will sail to Milazzo, a picturesque Sicilian town.

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
