Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Kefalonia.

Check-in: 9:00 AM

Our trip ends here:

Kefalonia.

Check-out: 6:00 PM

Leg 1

MONDAY

Boarding is scheduled in the morning. At Agia Effimi, we will make a galley then we leave the moorings and leave for our first sail going up the east coast of Kefalonia if the weather conditions allow it, otherwise we will pass south of Ithaca. We will sink in some bays for a swim in crystal clear waters and get ready for the night.


Leg 2

TUESDAY

We continue our adventure towards Meganisi. The island is part of the Tilevoides archipelago, made up of 16 very small islands and the area to the south is characterized by caves and coves with lush vegetation and crystal clear sea. We'll continue on to Mytika, a pretty village with pastel-colored houses. In addition to its crystal clear and transparent waters, it stands out for its delicious restaurants whose lights are reflected on the water. After dinner we will reach our boat in the bay in front of the beach.


Leg 3

WEDNESDAY

From Mytika we will reach Kalamos and, scrolling along the east coast, we will find fabulous places to snorkel and, for those who want it, use the SUP. In the afternoon we will take advantage of the mistral to descend again towards Kastos and we will sink into the bay just north of the village which is worth a visit!


Leg 4

THURSDAY

The navigation will lead us to the Formicule: a tiny archipelago south of Kalamos, where we will be able to observe a family of monk seals swimming among rocks and inlets. It is one of the most fascinating places! In the afternoon we will head to Ithaca where swimming in clear waters, with shades from blue to green, spectacular beaches and truly suggestive rock formations await us. A short visit to Vathi, the capital of the island, and then look for a quiet bay where you can bottom and spend the night.


Leg 5

FRIDAY

After breakfast we will evaluate the weather and decide whether to sail towards Oxia or continue north of Ithaca in search of postcard scenery and incredibly transparent waters. Based on these choices, we will spend the night in a bay of Ithaca or northeast of Kefalonia, or in Oxia, famous for its sunset, enjoying a barbecue barbecue made on a boat under the stars.


Leg 6

SATURDAY

If we are in Oxia we will sail to Kefalonia. We will land at one of its beaches on the east coast, explore the south side and then reach Agia Effimia or Sami, a quiet and picturesque village and typical Greek taverns to spend a nice evening with friends.


Leg 7

SUNDAY

After breakfast it's time to disembark. We say goodbye to Greece, which gave us a holiday that we will remember for a long time.

Weekend on a sailing boat in Chioggia and Venice

La nostra prima esperienza in barca a vela è stata meravigliosa. Giovanni e Stefania sono delle persone molto speciali e innamorate della vita di mare.... E tu non puoi che rimanere affascinato dai loro racconti. Arrivare a Venezia dal mare è stata una magia senza prezzo....senza contare tutti gli angoli segreti di terra e di mare che ci hanno fatto scoprire. La cucina di Stefania è veramente di livello oltre ad essere molto rispettosa e attenta ai gusti culinari dei suoi ospiti. La barca ci è parsa molto comoda e perfettamente tenuta, ci si dorme bene e gli spazi sono molto vivibili. Non possiamo che consigliare di prenotare una esperienza con Giovanni e Stefania, sono sicuro che non ve ne pentirete..... Noi stiamo già pensando di bissare presto. PS. 1 Infine ci hanno anche insegnato come riconoscere un vero abitante di Venezia.....ma lasciamo che siano loro a spiegarvi il trucco????. PS.2 un grazie a sailsquare per avercelo fatti scoprire

Fui con mi marido en el barco de Giovanni en septiembre de 2022 y la experiencia con Giovanni y Stefania no podría haber sido mejor: -el trato es inmejorable; divertido, cálido y profesional -el barco es sólido, bonito y cuidado -conocen perfectamente la zona. El recorrido, las islas y las playas que visitamos son una locura y los dos están muy pendientes para visitarlas en el mejor momento, porque haya menos gente o porque sea simplemente espectacular -no teníamos ninguna experiencia previa y nos enseñaron a vivir en un barco, nudos sin enrredos, incluso aprendimos a llevar el timón -la comida a bordo es ESPECTACULAR: Stefania hace pan con masa madre, postres deliciosos y el mejor tzatziqui de todas las islas Jónicas -cuando bajamos del barco nos llevaron o nos recomendaron sitios riquísimos y muy muy especiales Como he escrito ya, no teníamos ninguna experiencia previa y elegir hacer el viaje con ellos ha sido un golpe de suerte. Lo recomiendo 100%

We had an amazing experience traveling with Giovanni and his wife, Stefania. They were such a charming couple, funny and lovely. We had the greatest experience of our greek holidays. They know the best places to eat, to swim, to relax… highly recomended!! We already miss them!

Giovanni e Stefania sono stati fantastici. Simpatici e super professionali ci hanno fatto scoprire in sicurezza le meraviglie delle Cicladi con un meltemi che non ci ha mollarti per tutta la settimana. Navigazione in barca a vela, quella vera!
