This experience, in a nutshell

 Leaving the port of Athens and its wonderful old town, we'll spend the week discovering the delightful islands of the Saronic Gulf and Sounion, the beautiful bay surmounted by the temple of Apollo.

The first island we will touch is Aegina: welcoming, lively, you can breathe the typical atmosphere of Greek villages. Interesting is the visit to the temple of Apollo and the walls of an ancient prehistoric settlement from where you can enjoy a wonderful view.

The island ofPoros, close as it is to the coast of the Peloponnese, resembles a quiet, pleasant lake resort. Many beautiful bays surround it.

Hidhra, a true pearl of the Saronic Gulf, stands out from the other islands for the absence of motor vehicles and for the alleys paved with marble cobblestones. The coves are splendid, the marina is picturesque.

From there we will move to the other side of the gulf to moor in the large bay of Sounio surmounted by the splendid, magical temple of Apollo. It will be fantastic to see the sunset from the boat. The journey will continue along the gulf to Athens.

From the wonders of Sardinia to those of Menorca, the Balearics

I really enjoyed the cruise with Riccardo. He is an experienced sailor and I trusted him, which is very important, especially if you have make a long crossing between islands, as we did. Riccardo took us to a lot of pretty places, and the trip was filled with beautiful moments like eating dinner together with the entire crew while enjoying the sunset in a lovely bay at anchor, or swimming in the sea during the day to cool yourself down. La dolce vita. The boat is well-equipped and comfortable, and the captain goes out of his way to make everyone comfortable. Obviously there were also some misunderstandings, but honestly, that is to be expected in a group of people traveling and living together for a week, and I think all quarrels which arose were handled properly in the end. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Riccardo!

Uno skipper che usa quasi sempre la vela! Cosa non scontata. Pur essendo una barca datata, è leggera e bilanciata, così da navigare bene anche con poco vento. Riccardo, è, infine, una persona gentile e paziente. Esperienza positiva: consigliato per persone spartane e che amano veleggiare.
