territory
In midsummer, the Ionian Sea offers perfect conditions for relaxed and enjoyable sailing. Our route takes us south from Lefkada along small and large islands, past sheltered bays, hidden beaches, and quaint villages. The daily stages are chosen to allow time for swimming, shore excursions, culinary delights, and the intense experience of everyday sailing. The route is flexible and collaboratively determined according to weather, wind, and the wishes of the crew. The cruise ends on Zakynthos – one of Greece's most vibrant and beautiful islands.

Plan

We depart from Lefkada. After boarding and a safety briefing, we head south, heading to various islands and bays depending on the weather. We spend most of our nights in quiet anchorages or traditional harbors, enjoying relaxing evenings on the water or in convivial taverns.
Every day offers new views, experiences and the opportunity to actively participate in life on board – whether steering, navigating, sailing maneuvers or cooking together.
You're not just an anonymous fellow traveler, but part of our crew. We experience real life on board, take responsibility together, and actively shape the trip. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced sailor, everyone can contribute and grow.
