You will be Sailing in the Greek Northern Ionian Islands, staying on board a 45-48 foot monohull sailing boat, professionally skippered and hosted by two lovely ladies.
This is a gentle adventure holiday geared for teamwork and relaxation, mindfulness and recuperation, sociable, friendly and lots of fun!
Explore bays of crystal-clear waters, some teaming with fish, perfect anchorages, and beautiful harbours for wild swimming and for exploring on foot
We sail or motor to a different harbour every day and can include a stop at an anchorage on the way. There will be plenty of opportunities to participate in any of the sailing and boat handling skills, plenty of swimming from the boat or the shore, time to explore, walk, run, simply read, look around the beautiful Greek villages and relax in cafe's or tavernas ashore!
Your skipper will happily teach any of the sailing and boat handling that interests you.
We usually can also offer optional mindful morning stretches.
Breakfast and lunch are eaten on board, (prepared beautifully by your host) and we generally have evening meals in one of the wonderful Greek Tavernas. Team supper on board is an option if we anchor in a quiet bay overnight.
You will explore the southern coast of Corfu then sail South towards Paxos, Anti Paxos and stunning harbours on mainland Greece, eg Syvota, Parga, and Vonitsa all within a sheltered sea with countless bays of crystal-clear waters, perfect anchorages, and beautiful harbours for wild swimming and for exploring on foot.
For the more adventurous crew, and weather permitting we will have an extended sail down to ~Preveza Old town and the North-east of Levkada Island.
you don't need to previous sailing experience to come on our sailing holidays but this is a hands on experience, you are part of the crew working together as a team even if you only want to help with making tea and washing up!
We love teaching sailing and will encourage active participation but that is not compulsory.
