This experience, in a nutshell

We'll set sail from the island of Samos, ready to hoist the sails to places of rare beauty and authenticity.


The first stop will be Fourni, a fascinating and still unexplored island, where you can discover unspoiled landscapes and breathtaking views. We'll then continue to Ikaria, an island rich in history and traditions to be experienced to the fullest. With the wind favorable we will head to Patmos, where it will be impossible to resist the charm of the famous Monastery of St. John, a true spiritual gem. We'll head for Arki, where a turquoise and crystalline sea reminiscent of the Caribbean awaits us. Totally away from the common itineraries, we will stop in Agatonissi, an island for connoisseurs. Finally, we will return to Samos after a week full of unforgettable emotions.


During the cruise, we'll often anchor in remote and sparsely populated bays, places where nature reigns supreme and the silence is interrupted only by the sound of the waves. Away from the hustle and bustle, you will have the chance to immerse yourself in absolute and rejuvenating peace.



Our boat, modern and designed to guarantee both stability and speed, turns every mile sailed into real fun. Thanks to the expertise of your skippers, expert navigators passionate about the sea, you will live a safe and fascinating sailing experience, among the blue waters and where you can try your hand at maneuvers if you want.


But it's not just the sea that makes this cruise special: your skippers, in addition to being experienced sailors, also stand out as exceptional chefs. On board, you can enjoy gourmet dishes prepared with the freshest ingredients, inspired by Italian cuisine. Each meal becomes a convivial opportunity to share the pleasure of good food, in an atmosphere of cordiality and relaxation.

Leg 1

The adventure begins in Pytagorio

In the late afternoon we meet at the marina of Pythagorio, on the island of Samos. The sailboat of your holiday is there waiting for you, ready to take us on a memorable journey among the islands of the Aegean Sea.

After boarding, in front of the aperitif, the skippers are available to provide all the details of navigation, the itinerary and the use of the boat. Before dinner there will be time to settle into their cabins and familiarize yourself with the whole crew, while the skippers begin to prepare a delicious dinner. When the sun begins to dive into the horizon, we find ourselves toasting to this beginning, immersed in the evocative atmosphere of sunset.

We spend the first night with the boat moored at the marina, ready to hoist the sails the next morning and leave for new destinations and enchanting bays.

Leg 2

Discovering Fourni

Charged with energy, we have breakfast and hoist the sails. We stop for lunch in Tsopela where we can admire a splendid panorama enriched by the colors of the water and the surrounding vegetation.

Our navigation continues in the direction of Fourni. This enchanted island, off the beaten tourist track, is a real hidden gem. Upon arrival, it is immediately evident how unique this place is: the bay that welcomes us is a wonder, with clear turquoise waters that invite you to take a refreshing dip.

In the late afternoon, we climb together to the top of the hill, where a breathtaking spectacle awaits us: the panorama lights up in warm golden hues while the sun gently descends.

Our route continues to the main village of the island, a picturesque village that looks like something out of a postcard. We walk through the narrow cobbled streets, between the white churches with blue domes and the small cozy taverns.

Leg 3

Abundant

In the morning, we sail along the coast, stopping in hidden coves where the sea is clear and turquoise. Here, we indulge in long swims and dives in crystal clear waters, or simply relax on board, enjoying the sun and tranquility. The most curious can explore the coves of the coast with the tender and discover hidden caves, where the wild beauty of the island is shown in all its purity.

In the afternoon, we go ashore again to enter the heart of Fourni. For those who love walking, there is the possibility of taking a walk along the panoramic paths that wind through centuries-old olive trees and Mediterranean scrub, offering unforgettable views of the bay. We reach a small viewpoint from which we can enjoy a breathtaking view of the island and the sea that extends to infinity.

The evening takes us to the village, where we stop in a typical tavern for a dinner of authentic flavors.

We return on board under a starry sky.

Leg 4

Discover Ikaria

After spending the night, lulled by the sea and under a starry roof, we put the bow of our sailboat towards Ikaria, sailing in this stretch of sea can be challenging, but fun with strong winds that push the boat fast.

Ikaria is the island of longevity, many inhabitants are over 100 years old, here it seems that people forget to die.

The day passes in harmony with the relaxed rhythm of the island, between refreshing baths in the transparent waters and regenerating walks along fine sandy beaches. The serenity of the surroundings contributes to complete relaxation, whether you choose to sunbathe or prefer more dynamic activities in the water.

As the sun begins to decline, we visit Chora, Agios Kirikos and have a refreshing drink.

And to end the day on a high note, dinner will be served on board the boat prepared with passion by your skippers, under a magnificent starry sky.

Leg 5

Sailing to Patmos

Today we sail along the spectacular south coast of Ikaria, an easy navigation sheltered from the waves. The landscape leaves us breathless: rocky mountains alternate with stretches of greenery and isolated beaches, framed by the deep blue sea. We reach the famous Seychelles Beach, where we drop anchor and stop for lunch.

In the afternoon, with a strong wind that fills the sails, we leave Ikaria and head towards Patmos, the sacred island. As soon as we arrive, we immerse ourselves in the magical atmosphere of Chora, with its white houses and cobbled streets, until we reach the monastery of St. John, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Greece.

The day ends with dinner in a typical tavern on the seafront. Sitting at the table, we enjoy the authentic flavors of Greek cuisine, accompanied by the sound of the waves and the beauty of the lights reflecting on the water. It's the perfect end to a day full of excitement, history, and natural wonders.

Leg 6

Arki and Agathonissi

We leave early by adjusting the sails towards Arki, an enchanting and uncrowded island, ideal for those who love contact with nature and absolute peace. We explore hidden coves and dive into the crystal clear waters of this small pearl of the Dodecanese.

After lunch, with the wind blowing favorably, we leave Arki to head towards Agathonissi.

Immersed in the quiet of Agathonissi and in the pleasure of a day spent between wind, sea and unforgettable landscapes, the evening ends with a dinner on board prepared by your skilled skippers. Tonight, tagliatelle with meat sauce will be the protagonists, bringing to the table the genuine flavors of Italian cuisine, a touch of familiarity and warmth that makes the convivial moment even more special.

Leg 7

Agathonissi by boat

After breakfast, we get ready to explore the wonderful beaches and hidden coves of Agathonissi. With the tender we venture through quiet coves, where the water is transparent and time seems to have stopped. Every corner of this island, with its slow pace and intimate atmosphere, invites us to fully enjoy its quiet and authenticity.

After lunch, it's time to take the route back to Samos. Sailing calmly, we think back to the adventures we have experienced and the landscapes that have accompanied us in this special week. In the late afternoon we moor at the marina of Pythagorio, where the lively atmosphere of the marina welcomes us for the last evening together.

We end the day with dinner in a typical tavern on the seafront, immersed in the flavors of local cuisine and the warmth of Greek hospitality. Between laughter, stories and a final toast, we celebrate these unforgettable days spent between sea, friendships and wonders.

Leg 8

See you on holiday

With the sunrise coloring the sky with delicate shades, we find ourselves together for the last time around the breakfast table.

The least pleasant moment of our cruise has arrived: the goodbyes. But it is not a goodbye; it is rather a goodbye, accompanied by the promise to meet again soon and to share again the sea, the wind and the stories that only a boat holiday can offer.

As we set foot on land again, rich and vivid memories of the past week crowd our minds: the infinite blue of the sea, the starry sky over enchanting bays, the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine and, above all, the freedom that only sailing can give.

Luggage may be ready to leave the boat, but the experiences lived and the new friends found still remain firmly in our hearts. Kisses and farewell hugs are exchanged with the certainty that these days of sailing will become the favorite stories to relive until our next meeting.
