This experience, in a nutshell

A sailing holiday, in itself, is something different that goes outside the common schemes, sailing in two boats is still more. Do you want to come and find out? Come with us to the fantastic and solitary bays kissed by the sun, with an intense blue sea and a group of friends who, pushed by the wind, will take you to discover the fabulous islands of Ionian Greece. There will be no lack of aperitifs under the stars or in the light
of the moon. One week is too little, two are too many ... Choose 10 days of vacation to enjoy maximum relaxation ;-) WE WILL BE 2 CATAMARANS, WHICH WILL SAIL TOGETHER

We will be two catamarans that will sail together among the thousand inlets of the various islets that we will meet in the archipelago ( Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Zante, Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Atokos ) inside marine oases in which to sail unfold, letting yourself be lulled by the waves and then anchoring to rest and take unforgettable baths in a turquoise sea of absolute beauty. In summer the winds are constant. From June to the end of September, the wind from the North-West to the NW dominates in the Ionian Sea. It generally mounts around noon between strength 2 and 5 and drops at sunset. It is ideal for enjoying beautiful afternoon sailings and beautiful evenings at anchor, to enjoy the starry skies of Greece. 120 islands of which about 20 are inhabited make up this archipelago.
On this sea that we are plowing today, once sailed the boats of the sailors who
they have contributed to making the history of the Mediterranean, spreading cultures and traditions. The islands
of Ionian Greece are a paradise for those who sail thanks to the favorable conditions
climatic conditions and the possibility of discovering countless bays with crystal clear water. The fishing villages offer characteristic Greek hospitality: friendly welcome and world famous cuisine.

Accompanied by a light mistral wind we will sail on a very clear sea, among colorful landscapes and fragrant Mediterranean scrub, retracing the routes of Ulysses towards
the beloved Ithaca. We will visit Lefkas, Skorpios, Kalamos, Kastos, Atoko, Ithaca and Kefalonia. Unforgettable will be the experience of sleeping at the bottom lulled by the waves in the numerous
protected bays, where the only deafening noise will be silence and lights and chaotic everyday life will be just a memory. The amazement of an aperitif at sunset awaits you, the wonder of
being carried by the wind and the pure, intense pleasure of sailing.

LEFKADA
The island of Lefkada is considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea. It has almost 110 km of coastline, beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters and green landscapes that leave you breathless. In this
fabulous island you will find the typical colors of Greece , the genuine flavors of local products and a perfect synchrony between sea and mountains. The climate is typically Mediterranean and the vegetation
always green and in many cases it goes as far as the seashore, the show is unique. The fishing villages are very characteristic. The tourist center of the island is Nidri , with the
beautiful view on the islets of Scorpio , Madauri and Sparti . In the capital, Lefkada , a bridge connects the island to the mainland. The City of Lefkada is very picturesque and lively with its wooden and colored tin houses.

KEFALONIA
Kefalonia is fun , good wine and a great variety of landscapes, golden beaches and lake caves! Uncontaminated, where nature is still rich and fascinating, with mysterious caves, a
interesting subsoil, thermal springs and underground waters, with magnificent beaches, characteristic villages and rich archaeological finds. Northeast of Kefalonia is Ithaca , from which it is divided by a narrow arm of the sea. Its rich forests and extensive vineyards, which yield the tasty Kefalonian wine , have been known since ancient times. Its inhabitants are friendly and hospitable. Its highest peak, the Eno , is a beautiful National Park. Typical local products are the "mandoles", the exceptional local wine "robola" and honey.

ITACA
Island of great tranquility, suitable for meditation. The north of the island is characterized by its green color, especially olive trees and vineyards. The depths of the island are beautiful , just as beautiful are the beaches, especially those to the north that can only be reached by boat.

Zakynthos
The beautiful Venetian citadel of the 15th - 17th century that dominates from above and lies enclosed by the ramparts gives us a beautiful view over the bay. From a naturalistic point of view Zakynthos is really beautiful to see with the contrast between the blue of the sea, the white of the sand and the green of the vegetation with the many orange, fig, lemon and walnut trees. This island is a diver's paradise , especially in the southwestern part of the island there are beautiful sites and don't forget the caves .

MEGANISI
Meganisi is an island of sailors with a landscape rich in vegetation, mountains, underground caves and crystal clear sea. The village of Vathi is a
picturesque village built around its port, very quiet with many restaurants with seafood specialties. Spartachori is a labyrinth of small streets with white and light blue houses. The most famous beaches of Meganisi are: Ag. Ioannis, Atherinos, Limonari Bay and Spilla . In addition to the beautiful beaches, it is a beautiful sight to see the windmills scattered on its slopes, or to visit the numerous churches and monasteries that are located on the island.

KALAMOS
Located to the south-east of the island of Lefkada, this small island of only 20 square kilometers, offers a suggestive spectacle thanks to its peaks that reach 800 meters in height and thanks to its thick Mediterranean vegetation rich in maritime pines and olive trees . Kalamos is the island of dolphins , it is in fact possible to see these fantastic mammals peeking out near the coast ready to be immortalized by visitors to the island. In Porto Kalamos, small stone houses and stone- paved paths dominate , making the main village of the island an absolutely suggestive destination.

KASTOS
The small island of Kastos, with its 6 square kilometers of extension, is a magical place to be seen at least once in a lifetime. From unspoiled nature and multiple coastal coves, Kastos is the ideal destination for all boaters and for those who love tranquility and nature . Poor in accommodation facilities and purely tourist spots, the island has managed to preserve over time its pristine and wild charm offered by its centuries- old olive trees , among the oldest in the whole Ionian that you can see in the tiny village of Kalikerimi , from its small caves accessible only by boat located north of the port of Kastos, the most famous and open to visitors is that of Aghios Emilianos. Among the beaches to visit on the island, reachable only by boat, we point out Fiki , Ambelakia , Limni , Kamini and Vrissidi and the splendid Sarakinos the bay of the Saracens.

ATOKOS
Atokos, is a small Greek island in the Ionian Sea off the coast of Acarnania. It is a private island owned by the shipowner Panayiotis Tsakos. Most of the time the island remains uninhabited except for a couple of goats that roam freely around the island. Visitors are allowed to land. Also, a small chapel has a door open to visitors and everything appears to be clean and well
maintained. The water in the bay is fabulous.

PAXOS
The smallest, most intimate and delicate of the Ionian Islands of Greece, it is located in front of the precious coast of Epirus, next to Corfu. Nature is generous and always varied, the beaches appear as if they were stolen from who knows what travel magazine, their snow-white pebbles and the elusive shades of the water. Paxos is definitely on our personal podium when it comes to the sea. On the island we will find other Italians, English, but also many Greeks, which always guarantees an authentic and festive experience . Paxos has a reputation as an exclusive and high-profile resort but in reality it is a favorite destination for boaters and the prices are absolutely in line with the rest of island Greece.

ANTIPAXOS
Caribbean beaches a stone's throw from the Adriatic and the Ionian.

E' stato il mio primo viaggio in barca a vela ed è sttao fantastico. Tutto perfetto, Giuseppe ha organizzato tutto con attezione, compresa la scelta dell'equipaggio. Tutte persone simpatiche disponibili e collaborative. Giuseppe ha una grandissima esperienza nell'organizzare queste vacanze ed un ottima organizzazione alle spalle. Le isole che abbiamo visitato sono bellissime ed anche il tempo è stato bello ... (ma forse questo non è dipeso da GIuseppe) :) :) Grazie Francesco da Roma

10 days of pure relaxation and comfort in the Dodecanese (1st Round)

Se stai cercando una vacanza che combina divertimento, avventura, relax e nuove amicizie hai trovato ciò che fa al caso tuo! Io e la mia ragazza ci siamo imbarcati senza conoscere nessuno dell'equipaggio ed è stato fantastico. Abbiamo avuto modo di stringere delle bellissime amicizie e di divertirci un sacco. Lo skipper è stato bravissimo! Ci ha portato in posti paradisiaci e si è dimostrato estremamente disponibile in ogni tipo di situazione. Di giorno ci spostavamo in posti diversi per fare il bagno e visitare splendide isole, mentre la sera solitamente mangiavamo in delle taverne davvero particolari. Il buon cibo e la compagnia rendevano le serate magnifiche! Onestamente consiglio a tutti di provare un'esperienza del genere! Probabilmente smetterai di passare le tue vacanze in spiagge affollate per prediligere la barca anche negli anni successivi. Come già detto, lo skipper è stato fantastico e ha contribuito molto a rendere la vacanza perfetta! Grazie di cuore :) :) :)

10 days of pure relaxation and comfort in the Dodecanese (1st Round)

Organizzazione decisamente carente se non inesistente; vacanza venduta come flottiglia ma il capo skipper (Giuseppe) era più che evidente fosse interessato unicamente alle persone presenti sul suo catamarano che ha volutamente tenuto distaccate dalle persone salvo poi dire che erano loro ad aver voluto così ma in realtà parlando occasionalmente con alcune ragazze è emerso che questo non era assolutamente vero. Giuseppe ha dimostrato anche poca professionalità nel gestire le problematiche presentatesi con i clienti disinteressandosi delle obbiezioni avanzate forte del fatto che i soldi li aveva già incassati. Uno dei catamarani è stato fatto partire x la navigazione pur sapendo che aveva un danno alle vele che ne comprometteva la navigazione senza motore e questo non è ammissibile. Nella barca a vela da 46 piedi ha inserito 10 persone più lo skipper (11) tra l'altro due posti in murata assolutamente impraticabili x una persona adulta. Dennis

Brutta esperienza, ecco perchè Organizzazione: il concetto di flottiglia è stato completamente disatteso. Il capo flottiglia Giuseppe ha seguito totalmente ed esclusivamente il suo catamarano composto da un gruppo di amici che già dalla partenza aveva dichiarato di voler rimanere "isolato". Quindi l'organizzatore Giuseppe è venuto meno fin dall'inizio ad uno dei requisiti della vacanza che appunto era in flottiglia, Giuseppe non è mai venuto a bordo se non per riscuotere la quota assicurativa, non si è mai coordinato con le altre due imbarcazione lasciando all'improvvisazione tutta la vacanza (nessuna informazione sui tempi ed i luoghi da visitare). Le tempistiche e le mete erano dettate dal suo gruppo: partenze a tarda mattinata, poco tempo dedicato al mare, numerosi tentativi (3-4 ogni volta) per l'ancoraggio. Skipper Bali 4.1: non pervenuto e mi astengo per pietà da ogni altro commento Compagni di viaggio: fantastici, sono stati loro che hanno salvato la mia vacanza. Grazie ragazzi
