The monumental Athens, the spectacular Corinth canal, the wonder of Delphi, the sea of ??Greece. These are the attractions of this unmissable sailing week. We will start by diving into the Saronic Gulf and mooring at Korfos in the limpid Aegean sea. Then it will be the turn to face the mythical Corinth canal. Crossing it by boat causes strong emotions. Three miles of navigation between two sharp rock faces up to 90 meters high and only 25 meters apart. At the bottom, a hydraulic bridge will be lowered and here we are passing by a sea, the Aegean, to another, the Ionian, not far from the acropolis that rises to 575 meters and is surrounded by three turns of Venetian walls. Here we will discover some fantastic bays. Beautiful will be moor in the one near Delphi, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Greece, a sacred place since ancient times. The last emotion: to pass under the bridge between the Peloponnese and the continent, and here is Patras.
Check out the crew!

I chose this cruise because of the fascinating itinerary and the positive comments about Riccardo, his knowledge of the places and his ability to create cohesion in the crew. However, Riccardo explained to us that it was his first cruise to Croatia, a country that he discovered with us. This had unforeseen consequences on the itinerary that did not allow us to visit Split, Trogir, Zadar, Cres etc. (no reservation at the Split Marina; Zadar bridge too low for our boat; unexpected times of the swing bridge between Lošinj and Cres ...). As for the crew, we were practically divided into two groups: the first with Riccardo and his historical couple of friends; the second with us 4 guests. We 4 guests had a very good time together, but in the cockpit the conversation between the 3 friends was inexhaustible, and the organization of the exclusive navigation. A piece of advice: don't you ask Riccardo "where are we going today"? I did it and he was very impatient ...
Riccardo has great experience but this is not enough to offer this type of holiday on Sailsquare. In fact, I had left with the expectation of taking a week off visiting new places, relaxing and bathing in wonderful coves ... just as it was written in his travel program! But the fact is that of all the planned stages we have not made even one ... it may have been due to miscalculation, disorganization or simple misinformation, I don't know. We sailed a lot sailing and on this there is a positive note, but the itinerary was random every time and if we stopped in some beautiful bay it was just luck! In addition, the ability to make a group and make guests feel at ease was also lacking: tensions were sometimes created that did not leave me with a good memory.
A wonderful week of sailing, 'expertly' guided by the sympathy of the skipper Riccardo, and in the pleasant company of the other participants: I can only say ... to the next holiday !
Hello! After the first, satisfying, week between Zakynthos, Kefalonia and Ithaca I am still on the boat with the skipper Riccardo, enjoying great sailings and pleasant stops in beautiful bays for a dip in the blue, indeed, in the blue. Riccardo, in addition to being a good sailor, is also nice and this .. it never hurts. Now we are at anchor in a lovely bay in Meganisi after the great dinner on the boat....
Riccardo is a beautiful person. He knows what he is doing as far as going to sea is concerned even in difficult situations that can sometimes happen. With him and with the crew that away, away was forming we had fun both during navigation and during shore trips. He is definitely a skipper with an excellent sailing experience behind him as well as being a nice, honest and reliable person. Experience that I promise to retrace both with Riccardo and with Sailingsquare ! Thank you!!!
Magnificent Experience! Riccardo Skipper very prepared and experienced, with the right amount of attention that has allowed us to avoid and solve the unpleasant unexpected that can happen during navigation.
With his boat you really sail, the engine is used only when indispensable but above all you do not feel like guests or spectators, but an active part.
Riccardo involves the crew in the management of the boat, making the experience unique.
Wonderful itinerary: the picturesque Symi an unmissable visit, the authentic Tilos with its people an unexpected discovery, the colorful Chulki a different corner and the ancient and modern Rhodes a certainty.
Very apt travel companions with whom I spent fun and carefree moments.
I would say that as a first experience it could not have gone better.
I will always keep a very good memory of this holiday.
I'm sorry I couldn't participate in this wonderful holiday, but from what I learned from my niece Riccardo and a well-prepared Skipper and puts himself at the complete disposal of his crew, I hope that in the future there will be an opportunity to take part in a new excursion
The Southern Dodecanese is truly fascinating. The trip on board Riccardo's boat allowed us to live a real intense and stimulating sailing experience. Riccardo is an experienced and professional skipper who involves his crew as well as an interesting person and pleasant company. Thank you!
The coast from Antalya to Fetiye is beautiful, special mention for Kastellorizo. Truly a gem.
Beautiful sea, wild nature and rich in history.
Excellent and varied company. Very pleasant navigation
Riccardo is an experienced person with whom it was pleasant to spend a week of navigation.
He judged us among the various Turkish beauties and involved us in the maneuvers in navigation.
His company was also very pleasant.
Thank you for the good experience !!!
Riccardo is an excellent skipper: he has great experience and instills confidence in the whole crew.
He is also a really welcoming and helpful person: on his boat we are not guests but part of a group and time runs away.
Beautiful itinerary. Experience to live and to repeat!
Good Wind!
I lived 2 extraordinary weeks aboard Riccardo's boat, The 1st week we sailed from Mykonos to Santorini, full of stops in fantastic places, whether coves or ports. I left alone but from the 1st day with the Crew I had no problems. Thanks again Riccardo and GOOD WIND:)
Riccardo is a wonderful skipper, attentive to his crew and cool at the same time. Riccardo trusted us for the maneuvers from the first day and offered us magnificent anchorages and as soon as possible beautiful sailings. We shared together and with his second Matteo excellent moments. On the sailing side, Gaida, her boat is very well arranged and very pleasant to sail. I recommend a thousand times.
Riccardo took us to clear waters and lovely bays. Attentive skipper, carefully prepares the route and keeps Gaia, his boat, like a jewel.
Ionian Islands to discover, certainly an itinerary to retrace.
What a great week!!!
Riccardo is the dream skipper to spend an exhilarating holiday. Indeed, Riccardo is above all a lover of the sea, the objective is sailing, wind direction, natural navigation, he shares his passion and teaches his knowledge and lets us experiment with the technique. Then Riccardo pays particular attention to the desires and wishes of the crew, he does not impose but proposes so that at the end the trip is more harmonious. Thank you Riccardo and good luck!
"When you travel to Ithaca you must hope that the road will be long fertile in adventures and experiences"
And in fact I could not wish myself better for this holiday among the Ionian islands ...
Beautiful experience on board a boat equipped with every comfort and kept with great care by Riccardo, exceptional captain who with his passion for the sea and his generous availability made us spend an unforgettable week between turquoise sea starry skies and unforgettable views.
It was a pleasure to have shared this little "piece of the journey" with his crew.
Experience absolutely to recommend!
Traveling by sea, sailing in silent coves, searching for the places that have marked the history of Mediterranean cultures; this is what awaits you. Not occasional guests but part of a crew with a single biorhythm. Riccardo, with skilful experience, manages to make navigation seem as natural as it is for him and to carry out this transformation in silence. Seeing it work incessantly, you will appreciate the logic, the organization of spaces and the safety of the equipment of this beautiful boat.
Athens and Patras have an airport. The boat has 3 double cabins and two bathrooms, fridge, hot water, tender with outboard. engine. Complete safety equipment. Self-inflating, Ais, Epirb.
