We travel the world: 2 seas and the Corinth Canal

Experience the fascinating journey from Poros (Attica) via Zakynthos to Kefalonia – 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 the variety of contrasting landscapes, historic cities, and authentic hospitality.

During our cruise, we'll enjoy emerald-green bays and white beaches in the south, and relax at picturesque anchorages between the Saronic Islands, the Peloponnese, Zakynthos, and Kefalonia. The passage through the famous Corinth Canal will be an unforgettable experience. Immerse yourself in the world of ancient harbors, modern marinas, and traditional villages. On board and ashore, we'll sample the diversity of Greek cuisine and enjoy relaxed socializing in a mild climate.
In the evening we toast together as the sun sets over the Gulf of Corinth and the water gently laps against the ship's hull.
