Leg 1

Sabato: Athens -Alimos Marina

The meeting with the participants is from 16.00 while boarding is scheduled in the late afternoon from 17.30. Our base is Marina de Alimos, one of the most characteristic ports of Athens, from where most of the charters depart. A short distance away you can visit Piraeus, known by all as the main port of Athens, but very few know the beauties of this city. One of the most authentic areas is that of Maniatika, an authentic place where tradition, art and architecture have remained unchanged over the decades. After the briefing with the whole crew, the galley will be prepared and after getting ready, we are ready to set sail to the nearest bay to spend the first night under the stars of the Aegean.



Leg 2

Sunday-Aegina

We set off at dawn in the morning sailing southwards towards the island of Aegina. The island of Aegina, located in the picturesque Saronic Gulf, is a fascinating destination for lovers of the sea and history. Its main town, also called Aegina, is a treasure trove of historic buildings, including the church of Agios Nikolaos and ancient temples that bear witness to the island's rich past. The crystal clear waters of the island invite underwater explorations even without the use of equipment, offering a clear view of the seabed. In addition, Aegina is famous for its delicious pistachios, which are considered to be among the best in the world, which are a must-see for anyone visiting the island.

Leg 3

Monday-Epidaurus

Breakfast in the village and then sail to Epidaurus. to enjoy the countless coves where you can snorkel. Epidaurus, nestled in the Peloponnese, is a jewel of ancient Greece, famous for its well-preserved theater and the Asclepeion, a sanctuary dedicated to the god of healing, Asclepius. This historic place, which was once a renowned health resort, continues to enchant visitors with its impressive architecture and breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf. The Church of St. Nicholas, erected on the ancient ruins, is a perfect example of how the past and present come together in this charming city.

Leg 4

Tuesday-Hydra

breakfast on board and we open the sails for Hydra. The island of Hydra, also known as Hydra, is a jewel of the Aegean Sea that enchants visitors with its timeless atmosphere. Here, bicycles are the preferred mode of transportation, as cars are banned, thus allowing you to savor the tranquility and beauty of the island at a slower pace. The archontika, historic residences of the nobles, now converted into luxury hotels or museums, bear witness to Hydra's rich past. Life on the island comes alive at sunset, when bars like the Hydronetta offer spectacular sea views. The bays of Bisti and Agios Nikolaos, reachable only by sea, offer a unique experience of peace and seclusion.

Leg 5

Mercoledì-Spetses

We set off towards the Spetses. Spetses is a jewel of the Aegean Sea, an island that enchants with its lively atmosphere and deep-rooted traditions. Theater lovers can enjoy immersive performances in the ancient theater of Epidaurus, an experience that combines history and performance. For those seeking relaxation, bays such as Agia Paraskevi offer crystal clear waters ideal for swimming and sunbathing, while for adventurers, places such as Lazareto, Zogheria and Vrelos promise thrilling dives among the hidden treasures of the sea. Dinner on board or at the port and overnight stay at anchor.

Leg 6

Thursday-Poros

We set off at dawn towards Poros, where we practice sailing. We will sail to Poros, with its twin islands of Kalavria and Sferia, offers a unique experience for those looking for the tranquil beauty of Greece. Immersed in the local culture, visitors can explore the narrow cobbled streets, discover little hidden treasures, and enjoy traditional cuisine at the many restaurants and cafes. The port of Poros, the beating heart of the island, is the starting point for everyday adventures or simply the perfect place to watch the comings and goings of the boats, letting yourself be lulled by the sea breeze.

Leg 7

Friday-Metopi/Alimos

We set sail very early in the morning to reach Metopi, an uninhabited paradise in the Saronic Gulf, accessible only by boat. With its white sandy beach, shallow crystal clear waters and vineyards.

The island is also famous for being a popular destination for sea turtles: if we're lucky, maybe we'll be able to see some!

In the early afternoon, we will head to the marina of Alimos. Then a regenerating shower and ready for dinner in the marina all together.

Leg 8

Saturday

Breakfast and disembarkation but with a lot of Greece, or rather with a Grossa Grassa Vela in Greece!!

Magical Amalfi Coast, Capri, Ischia and Procida by Catamaran

09/15/2024

GIANLORENZO C.

ESPERIENZA DA NON RIPETERE. Pessima comunicazione con Sailsquare, che non risponde mai al telefono. Accoglienza all'arrivo al marina abbastanza scadente. Imbarcazione con bagni e cabine scomodissime, solo la zona giorno ampia e comoda. Barca con evidenti carenze di manutenzione: un motore in panne il primo giorno (riparato dopo parecchie ore di attesa), una batteria decisamente morta, con necessità di ricorrere continuamente al parallelo per far partire il motore. Gruppo disomogeneo (due coppie di italiani e due coppie di anglofoni), con skipper (italiano) professionalmente preparato, ma che parlava quasi soltanto inglese. Bella la destinazione (sia le isole sia la Costiera Amalfitana), ma strutturata in una vera industria truffaldina finalizzata alla spennatura dei turisti: ad Amalfi una sera in porto 450 Euro, naturalmente senza fattura. A Procida 230 Euro, con una fattura ridicola, priva di numero di intestatario, di emittente (falsa, quindi). A Capri una boa (abusiva) fuori dal porto 150 Euro, naturalmente in nero. Cifre che nel mondo civile sarebbero da capogiro, persino superiori a quelle del porto di Saint Tropez. Dove sono la Legge, la Guardia Costiera che avrebbe compiti di vigilanza, la Guardia di Finanza? Per non parlare dei ristoranti: un piatto di spaghetti alle vongole 30 Euro, mentre a Santa Magherita ligure, dove vivo e che non è certo una meta economica, costa 19 Euro. Mai più!!!!!

Sailing, Relaxation and Fun in the Pontine and Phlegraean Islands on a 15-meter Boat

Non sono state rispettate le aspettative di una vacanza in barca a vela in quanto mai si è avuta l'opportunità di alzare la Randa in quanto solo l'ultimo dopo le insistenze dell'equipaggio si è provato ad alzare la randa ma senza esito in quanto armata male. Cosa tralaltro segnalata alla partenza avendo avuto l'opportunità di leggere le precedenti recensioni, quindi questo disagio sommato alla barca consegnata sporca e con frigoriferi funzionanti a metà per un problema di durata delle batteria e mai riferito se non durante la crociera. Organizzatore sicuramente non in grado di soddisfare un'esperienza simile, pertanto complessivamente il giudizio è sicuramente deludente

Bellissima vacanza nonostante qualche inconveniente, l'organizzazione è molto buona, la barca molto bella e il nostro skipper Fabio super gentile e davvero molto disponibile. Non posso che consigliarla.
