Plan

An 8-day route that goes up the west coast uniting two worlds: from the deep blue of the Peloponnese to the intense green of the Ionian Islands:

The Historic Peloponnese: Departing from Kalamata, we head up the west coast. Stops include Koroni and Methoni, overlooked by imposing Venetian castles, and landing at the spectacular Bay of Navarino (Pylos).
Transition Ionia: Passage to the archipelago, with a dip in the intense blue of Zakynthos.
Myth and Green: We reach the epic island of Ithaca, with sheltered bays and romantic moorings. The sailing becomes gentler and more scenic.
