Sailing holidays on the Mediterrenean
The Mediterranean.
Cradle of Western culture: Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, the Arab countries, ...
So many old and new cultures all around the Mediterranean.
The best way to explore it is by sailboat, like in ancient times.
Come along and experience life on a sailboat: eating, sleeping, swimming, snorkeling in a small group, a vacation you will never forget.
Enjoy the sun, deep blue sea, clear water, countless islands, beautiful nature, Mediterranean villages and towns and local gastronomy ...
Route planning 2025:
In 2025 we will once again enjoy Greek hospitality, deep blue sea, clear water, countless islands, beautiful nature and mythical culture from ancient times, not to mention Greek gastronomy. :-)
This year we will sail around the Peloponnese and visit Crete, Greece's biggest island.
From May 1 until May 10: We take a few days to prepare the boat for sailing in the winter storage in Aegio. There we enter the water and sail through the Gulf of Corinth to Zakynthos.
Boarding place: Aegio (Peloponnese)
From May 10 until June 1: We sail in the calm waters of the Ionian Sea along the beautiful islands between Zakynthos and Corfu: Kefalonia, Ithaca (land of Odysseus), Lefkas, Meganisi, ...
Boarding place: Zakynthos (Zante) town
From June 1 until June 10: We sail through the Gulf of Corinth from Zakynthos to Corinth city, possibly with a stopover in magical Delphi. There are also many sights to visit from Corinth city: Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, theater of Epidauros and of course the famous Corinth Canal.
Boarding place: Zakynthos (Zante) town
From June 10 until June 30: We sail through the spectacular Corinth Canal into the Saronic Gulf towards Athens.
Boarding places: Corinth city and Athens
From July 1 until July 31: We sail with the meltemi wind from Athens through the Saronic and Argolic Gulf to Crete.
Boarding places: Athens and Chania (Crete)
From August 1 until August 31: From Crete around the Peloponnese to Aegio.
Boarding places: Chania (Crete) and Zakynthos (Zante) town
Sailing along:
The boarding place is always near an airport (eg Corfu town). You can sail from 1 boarding point to another (for example, board in Corfu and get off in Zakynthos) or return to the same boarding point (for example, board in Zakynthos and get off again in Zakynthos). Whoever books first has all the choice.
Transport to the boarding point is on your own account.
For passengers there are 2 bedrooms with double bed and 1 bedroom with bunk beds available.
We sleep on the boat every night. Sometimes we are at anchor in a bay and we do a BBQ on board. Sometimes we stay in a marina and we dine in a local restaurant. There is an equipped kitchen on board for cooking together.
The route is determined in consultation with the crew, taking into account the weather forecast.
In bad weather conditions there will be no sailing. Safety first! But this is rare in summer.
Sailing experience is not required. If you wish, a sailing initiation can be given.
