One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.
Henry Miller, Writer, 20th century
Sail & Learn
Whether you are a complete amateur or you have attended a sailing course in the past but need to freshen up your knowledge, this trip theme will be a great fit for you. The idea here is to combine learning with holidays and fun. A well structured week ensuring a good balance between learning and chilling out. Learn and practice a new skill each day: Sail theory, Sail trimming and turns, Navigation, Anchoring techniques, Knots and ropework, MOB and safety.
Adding Miles
Have you recently completed your Day Skipper or Competent Crew course and wish to practice all what you've learned? If the answer is yes, then this mile building theme is your best fit. A week fully devoted on sailing, practicing basic skills of tacking & gybing, MOB, heave-to, anchoring and route planning. The itinerary is based on achieving ideal sailing conditions. Choosing to sail, sacrificing the destination, instead of choosing the destination, sacrificing sailing.
Into the Land
All sailors are in love with the sea and enjoy to spend endless time on the water. However there are several guests who have a different point of view: "I love sailing but I would like to have more time on the land to explore it". Would you consider yourself a nature lover, enjoying equally the sea and the land? If so, then this theme is for you. Set a maximum time on the sea per day (2-3hours) and spend half of each day hiking or cycling on land, exploring local flora & fauna, panoramic views and traditional architecture.
Local Experiences
For some people, visiting a place is not only about exploring the land and architecture or about enjoying the good weather and the local food, but it's also about getting a deeper feeling of the place through experiencing authentic traditions and through taking part in captivating activities, thus creating a series of memorable moments. Scuba diving, meet local producers & craftsmen, fishing on traditional boat, horse riding by the beach are some options that could fit in your sailing itinerary.
Into the Wild
Our lifestyle today is closely related to vibrant urban environments and cut off from nature. On the other hand, sailing is really special in the sense of exploring isolated places and reviving one's connection to nature. Greece is a great place to sail and due to its mountains, endless coastlines and countless small islands it is also an ideal spot to explore isolated inaccessible bays and islands. We can plan an itinerary spending a whole week in wild anchorages, away from the crowds and light pollution.
Follow the History
Greece is renowned for its rich ancient history and culture. You can find archaeological sites and ancient temples throughout its territory. If you are passionate about history and ancient civilizations, an itinerary can be planned with daily stops and visits on some of the most notable ancient monuments located along the coastlines and on the islands. Combine sailing with discovering history of the most important civilization of the Western world.
Escape from the Ordinary
When you sail in Greece there will be some fixed places to begin your trip which will also largely predetermine the area you will explore. Trips usually start from Athens, Ionian islands, Cyclades, Skiathos and the Dodecanese. If you wish to sail in an area that is not on this list, we can arrange the most suitable starting port and plan a custom itinerary to your preferred area. Such areas could be the southern Peloponnese, the round of Evia island, the northern coast of Greece, the Corinthian gulf with crossing of the Corinth channel.
