review about Sailing weekend - Portovenere and Golfo dei Poeti September 2022
Seychelles
Indian Ocean
For travellers from 20 to 48 years old.
This holiday is fully booked!
White beaches of very fine sand, splendid coral reefs populated by incredibly colorful fish, the famous giant turtles, calm, crystalline sea, friendly and seductive at the same time . Wild and uninhabited until 1770, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean and more than a thousand kilometers away from any other strip of land, the Seychelles have managed to cultivate their luxuriant beauty intact and today boast an almost unique prerogative: half of their territory is under environmental protection. It is no coincidence that they are considered among the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean and among the most fascinating on the planet.
A delight for tourists in search of exoticism, the Seychelles correspond exactly to the stereotypical image of a tropical paradise, with the difference that in reality they are even higher than imagined. The boat is the best way to visit these fantastic islands; the catamaran a comfortable and spacious "floating hotel". Imagine waking up slowly to its rhythmic and gentle pitching to dive into the crystalline waters of a bay. Pure magic! And the next day again, but in a different cove. Living the Seychelles in a flotilla is a unique experience!
Embarkation for everyone in Mahé and anchorage in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park for an unforgettable first encounter with the explosion of shapes and colors of the local nature. The ideal place for snorkelling . Then the mainsail is raised and we sail towards Cocos Island , made up of large rocks marked by strange and regular stripes engraved by the sea over the centuries. Cocos Island is simply enchanting with its striking landscapes and thousands of multicolored fish. Moored in front of the picturesque port of La Digue we can rent bikes to explore this spectacular corner of paradise.
With its paths protected by the shade of towering palm trees, the typical houses with roofs of woven palm leaves, the white sandy beaches and the enormous smooth rocks, La Digue is probably the queen of the archipelago. Splendid white sandy beaches and a luxuriant tropical forest covering the rolling hills make Praslin a pearl that manifests itself in all its beauty to those who approach it from the sea. The beaches of Praslin stand out compared to those of the other islands and cyclically enter the first places in the top ten of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
The itinerary and events are indicative and subject to possible changes based on weather conditions and safety. The skipper is excluded from all holiday expenses.
And it doesn't end there!
Once landed we will have another two days of vacation before returning to Italy . So we'll take nearby apartments via Airbnb to stay all together again and make the most of the very long bridge to the last.
In the "Other useful information" section you will find some suggestions on the best routes from the main Italian cities.
