The route
Starting from Volos port, preferably on Saturday evening, we will stay for the night in a small harbour on North of Evvia island or Pelion peninsula. Next day we will arrive in Skiatos, the most famous island in the archipelago. We will allow the time to explore (its famous beaches like Koukounaires or Kastro, its vibrant city with endless pubs and restaurants) at least until the 3rd day when we will set sail to Skopelos, a charming harbor on a charming island. Skopelos is the island worth visiting riding a scooter, the easiest way to discover all the hidden treasures. The third island in the menu is Alonisos, where we will anchor in Chora but also explore by boat its unspoiled beauty. Just imagine a beach just for us...
The route we are proposing here is morea of a masterplan rather than a promise. When we depend on the wind to sail, we are flexible. In otther words, we will adapt our destinations and arrival time to best use the wind direction. The Capitan will make the sail plan each evening for the next day.
Is a trip focused on sailing and discovery. A the distances between destinations are generous, you will have all the time to refine your sailing skills. We will sail along the greenest islands of Greece, not very crowded and where we will have the chance to discover some of the most beautiful beaches in the World (Koukounaries, Kastro), to explore at will the island of Skopelos, to encounter again the famous Greek cusiine.
I AM INTERESTEDOur evenings
Evenings will always have their magic, but there is at least two kinds of magic. We either dock in a port or a marina for the evening and in this case we will have the freedom to explore ashore the true Greek cuisine and the party evenings. Or, we will drop our anchor in a secluded bay where we will have time to cook by our self, swim, to go ashore with our dinghy boat and party to our taste.)
Where do we sleep
While with Happy Sailing, our boat will be your home for a week! With double beds cabins, bathrooms, a small kitchen and a living room, aboard our ship you will have all the comfort you would expect from a guest house but in a narrower space. A typical sailing boat will feature one cabin in the front and two in the back having 1 to 3 toilets (heads). However, we will choose the boat size that is most suitable with the group)
IMAGE GALLERYOur food
Eating in a tavern or restaurant in a port is an experience by its own. And if you have tasted Greek cuisine already, you know what we mean. And if you didn't, then expect fresh fish and sea food, expect everything to have a great taste and expect you to want more.
In the same time we will cook on the boat ! In the mornings a quick breakfast, our lunches too, but also some of the evenings when we will stay at anchor. So, don't forget to bring along your cooking skills or be ready to participate in cooking together.)
