We travel the world: 2 seas and the Corinth Canal

Experience the fascinating journey from the Ionian island of Zakynthos to Poros (Attica) – right through the heart of Greece and the legendary bottleneck of the Corinth Canal. Each leg of this one-week sailing trip is characterized by a variety of contrasting landscapes, historic cities, and authentic hospitality.
During our cruise, we enjoy spectacular bays with emerald-green waters and white beaches in the south, and relax at picturesque anchorages between Zakynthos, the Peloponnese, and the Saronic Islands.
