the Ionian + Echinean Islands, Greece
There's nothing quite like discovering off-the-grid destinations that aren't filled with crowds, especially in summertime. These are NOT touristic islands, maybe you've never even heard of most of them. That's actually what we love most about it. During this week, we will be traveling around the west coast of Greece. We’ll follow our captain's lead to plan the best route to make sure we have time for stops among the islands, dinners and drinks off of the boat, and relaxing mornings/afternoons catching some sun and enjoying “i glykiá zoí” (the sweet life) aboard your own private catamaran with 3 double cabins + 3 bathrooms.
This is a private trip and requires booking the entire boat just for your group of friends/family for the weeklong program.
Greece is world-famous for their history, longevity, 6000 islands, and their healthy food and wine-fueled diet. Menus will feature freshly-caught seafood, great seasonal meals for vegetarian guests, feta-stuffed flakey pastries, hearty greens/grains, roasted stuffed vegetables, mountain tea refreshments, meze platters, big heaping salads, and honey-topped everything!

Lefkada (hidden gem, beautiful beaches, lush forests and wineries)

Kastos (off-the-grid, crystal-clear waters great for snorkeling)
