We usually head off after breakfast on board and spend 2-4 hours sailing to the next Greek island. Your skipper will show you the route and you will be able to help steer, navigate, sail and moor the boat. After a light lunch on board there is plenty of time to swim, sunbathe, read, play games, etc. We get changed about 6pm and go ashore for a short walk to explore the area and find a taverna for a special dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61dc6270ee9f6b147aa65d9f/41e2aae3-ae06-4a26-935f-6a6b829f5bcb/image-asset.jpeg Itineraries - Island hopping. The itinerary will be determined partly by the wind and by suitable ports and anchorages. A typical one week charter could include visits to Lefkada, Meganissi, Paleros, Kalamos, Kastos, Ithaca and Kefalonia. We are based in Palairos and our local airport is Aktion in Preveza. Argostoli airport in Kefalonia is another option if you are planning a longer multi centre trip, e.g. with a villa on the island or in Ithaca. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61dc6270ee9f6b147aa65d9f/e4c8e22f-07fd-480e-9c2d-baa3e1163c0d/oceanis-50-8.jpeg Itineraries - Light winds and easy cruising. The Ionian Islands are on the west coast of Greece. Winds are usually very light in the summer months, increasing a little about mid afternoon. The islands have pretty bays, with very clear water and trees near the shore. https://www.sunwardsailing.com/the-yachts daily 0.75 2024-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61dc6270ee9f6b147aa65d9f/c96f1517-91d2-4f71-b4c6-4ad8dec97bab/Darwin+Layout.jpeg The Yachts - Darwin.
