ABOUT THE TRIP


7 or 14-Day Special Gay Sailing Cruise


    No sailing experience is needed, and during your trip, you have the opportunity to learn as much sailing as you want, or improve your existing skills. On the other hand, you can do absolutely nothing at all, except sit back and relax and soak up the sun.

You'll sail along the Peloponnesian coastline, a beautiful part of Greece still untouched by mass tourism. Daily sailing periods are normally from four to five hours a day, depending on weather conditions. Lunch and swimming is usually at a nice secluded bay, and we'll touch land during mid-afternoon, when you'll have a chance to explore each of the magical destintions selected.

Breakfast and lunch are always provided on board, and your evenings are free to enjoy dinner, shopping, a beach visit, or a late-night bar or club at our ports of call. At some of the larger villages, you may want to stay out and party all night ... no problem, just be back in the morning before we set sail!

Occasionally, we'll lay anchor overnight in a beautiful bay and have dinner on board, along with some good conversation and camaraderie.

Our ports of call will include Aegina, Epidaurus, Hydra, Leonidio, Monemvasia, Nafplion, Poros, and Spetses.

 


     
ITINERARY



Day 1 :
One of the prettiest islands of the Saronic group, Aegina is very well known for the farming of its pistachio nuts and the local pottery. It has lovely sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages, and is a delight to explore. On the island are the remains of the famous temple of Aphaia, noted for its magnificent architecture.


Day 2 :
Our call at Epidauros will be in the morning so that you can visit the side of the famous ancient theater, renowned for its acoustics. Later, we'll resume our sail and continue to our next destination.


Day 3 :
Our call Hydra will offer you one of the most attractive harbors in all of Greece. This island is favored by many artists, and a stroll through the streets and along the waterfront will show you why. Shops, clubs, bars and beautiful views are the main attractions.


Day 4 :
Leonidion is a small coastal village of the Peloponnese, one of those fairly quiet sleepy villages that you dream of. With deep waters along its shores, we're likely to spot dolphins, who may decide to join us. There is an important monastery at this location, and we can arrange a visit.


Day 5 :
Our call at Monemvasia, a city situated on a rock 350 meters above sea level, affords us the opportunity to visit the ‘Gibraltar of Greece.’ With outstanding scenery and an amazing atmosphere, we'll have the opportunity to explore the two parts of the city, one inhabited, and the other in ruins.


Day 6 :
This town, famous for the fortress which defended the city, is a very scenic port with a very long history. The architecture remains as beautiful as it was from the 18th century. You can visit the Palamidi Fortress, as long as you're willing to tackle the 850 steps to its summit! The view from the top is worth every one of those 850 steps!


Day 7 :
The beautiful green island of Poros has a wonderful harborfront with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants, and the port attracts many private yachts and sailing boats. There are good beaches nearby and stunning scenery.


Day 8 :
Spetses is a delight to explore, since it's main town is mostly pedestrianized (except for horse and buggy!). You can get about the island with motorbike or public bus, and there are some lovely coves and beaches.
