DETAIL ITINERARY (VARIABLE DEPENDING ON WEATHER CONDITIONS)
Saturday Welcomed aboard and settled our luggage in the cabin, after a briefing and a welcome drink, we will leave the Port of Santa Maria di Leuca behind and cross the Otranto Channel lulled by the Ionian Sea. It will be the dolphins or our lookout that will suggest the approach of Othoni (Fano Island)
Sunday The first destination will be Agios Georgeos Bay (west coast of Corfu Island). The long soft sandy beach, crystal clear water, and mountainous landscape will be the ideal setting for relaxing moments and exploration. We will take advantage of these moments for customs paperwork through Greek agency. The night in the roadstead will hold magical moments for both those who want to enjoy the peace of the bay and those who want to visit the clubs along the shoreline.
Monday A pleasant subcoastal sailing with a swim stop and lunch at sea will enable us to reach Lakka, a pretty village on Paxos Island. An explosion of colors that makes the atmosphere magical and out of time. Green bay and turquoise water, a natural landing place to savor typical Greek cuisine and explore the village of Lakka. At night, the bay’s water reflects the lights of the village and the boats that take shelter there, and the village’s clubs pop up and create a sparkling atmosphere.
Tuesday We will depart Lakka to delve into the increasingly popular Syvota Mourtos archipelago (mainland Greece). A valuable place that lends itself well to motor activities (snorkeling, nature walks) and tourism (small town with services and venues). Bays, beaches, and rocky inlets allow for a roadstead stop all to be discovered and lend themselves well to a beach barbecue.
Wednesday We will approach the coast of the island again until we reach Corfu Town. We will pass between the Venetian Fortress and theisland of Vido where we will take advantage of a swimming break with the song of cicadas that find shelter in the nearby pine forest. We will continue sailing to the marina at Gouvia. Well-stocked with amenities, the quiet village will provide us with an excellent welcome, and the quiet village will also provide us with excellent cuisine
Thursday Our sailing cruise will sail up the coast of Corfu to the Kalami or Agios Stefanos Bays in the northeastern part of Corfu. Secluded and picturesque bays offer backdrops rich in fish and pleasant to explore. We will spend the night in the roadstead with the possibility of tending to the mainland for restaurant on the beach.
Friday We will reach the island of Erikoussa(Merlera) where there will be the possility to completely surrender to nature and visit the island on foot, coming across the small harbor, some traditional windmills and a church with a bell tower. Completing the landscape is the distinctive vegetation with cypresses, olive trees, myrtle and heather from which the island derives its name. In the afternoon we will take to the sea again for overnight crossing back to Italy.
Saturday Arrival in Santa Maria di Leuca with disembarkation by 9:00 a.m. to allow for boat cleaning and guest group change.
