Discover a sailing holiday in Greece designed for those who want to experience the sea authentically, combining sailing among the splendid Ionian Islands with moments of yoga, meditation, and relaxation. We'll set sail from Lefkada to explore pristine bays, small ports, and crystal-clear waters, following the wind and the rhythms of nature.

This itinerary draws inspiration from Ulysses's voyage, a symbol of discovery and return. Rather than following a rigid route, we'll experience the sea, letting the wind guide us, sharing life on board and savoring the authentic beauty of the Greek islands.

    The program, day by day
    (indicative and adaptable to the weather and the pace of the group)

    Saturday – Boarding
    Boarding in the late afternoon in Lefkada, or alternatively in Sami or Agia Eufemia (Kefalonia). Settling in, initial briefing, and first dinner together. The night is generally spent in port, depending on arrivals.

    Sunday – First sails
    We set sail and get into the rhythm of Ionian sailing. We set sail for Skorpios and Meganisi, passing through tranquil bays and crystal-clear waters. We make our first stops for swimming and spend the evening at anchor or in a small port.

    Monday – Kalamos and Kastos
    We'll sail to Kalamos and Kastos, small and rarely visited islands. The day alternates sailing, bay stops, and time at sea. In the evening, we'll choose our landing place based on the weather and local atmosphere.

    Tuesday – Atokos and Ithaca
    We set sail for Atokos, stopping in one of its wild bays, ideal for a dip in the clear waters. In the afternoon, we continue to Ithaca, the island that symbolizes this journey, where we drop anchor for the night.

    Wednesday – Ithaca
    A day dedicated to Ithaca: coastal sailing, swimming, and the opportunity to visit Kioni and Vathy, with their small harbors, walks, and tavernas. An island to be experienced at your leisure.

    Thursday – Towards Kefalonia
    We leave Ithaca and sail towards Kefalonia, arriving in Sami or Agia Eufemia. Weather permitting, there's the option of a stroll to the lush green Acropolis of Sami. Enjoy a peaceful evening.

    Friday – Polis Bay and return
    We'll sail to Polis Bay, north of Ithaca, for a final swim in a picturesque bay. Those who wish can climb to Stavros, a village near the ruins of Odysseus's castle, for a glimpse of history and sea views. In the afternoon, we'll set sail again toward the port of return.

    Saturday – disembarkation in Lefkada
    Breakfast on board and disembarkation by 9 am at the port of arrival.

Other information
All crew members are welcome, even if they do not know the language spoken on board (english, french and italian)

We'll prefer sailing and stopping in bays rather than ports, to enjoy the sea, nature, and onboard cuisine. However, there will be plenty of stops on land, with visits to the charming villages of the Greek islands and their taverns brimming with the culinary delights of Ulysses' heirs.

We'll divide navigation duties among those who wish, respecting our fellow travelers and, above all, the places we'll visit, taking care to minimize our impact on the surrounding nature and ecosystem. The itinerary may vary due to weather conditions.

Exclusive bathroom, only for aft cabins: +€70 per person
Available places: 8 in 3 double cabins, 2 cabins with 2 single bunk beds (one cabin will be occupied by the skipper and assistant).

Skipper and co-skipper on board.

Onboard expenses: Flat rate of €300 per person, including half board (breakfast and lunch), meal preparation, food, fuel, port fees, and diesel.
Optional yoga and pranayama sessions, led by an instructor on board. (Ask for details when booking.)

I've been sailing for over 30 years, taking sailing courses on Caprera, numerous Soling, Tornado, and Star class regattas, and cruising aboard 37- to 45-foot cabin cruisers in Greece, the Mediterranean, the Balearics, the Alboran Sea, the Ionian, and the Adriatic. I'm a member of the Mandello del Lario Naval League. I've been sailing in Greece since 2015 with my own 48-foot Viva 48.

Boat details

Reviews of the Bavaria 50 describe it as a spacious, comfortable, and stable cruising sailboat, pleasant to sail but less "jaunty" than the Bavaria 45. It's appreciated for its spacious cockpit and functional design with twin rudders that ensure good visibility. Performance is considered adequate for the average owner, with good cruising speeds both under sail and under power.

Strengths
Performance: It reaches good cruising speeds both under sail and under motor (around 8 knots under motor) and the hull meets the needs of an average owner.

Navigation: Considered pleasant and calm, easy to handle even with a small crew.

Spaces: It offers a spacious cockpit with two large sofas, ideal for relaxing in company, and comfortable interior spaces.

Ergonomics: The controls are well positioned and easily accessible from both sides.

    I could not be more satisfied with the experience in the Ionian crossing with Leo. He is a friendly, prudent captain with great knowledge of the area. He is a great person and an excellent cook! The boat is very comfortable, clean and a delight to navigate. If you are thinking about Greece, Leo is your captain!! :D
