Holiday cruise on a classic sailing yacht in the Ionian Islands
Cruise on a classic luxury yacht through the unexplored Ionian Islands. Embark on board the classic sailing yacht Rhea on this adventure to these incredible Greek islands, with gourmet full board, water activities and the best views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Corfu and the Ionian Islands: a lesser known part of Greece. Very green and quiet bays, dreamy beaches and crystal clear waters. This sailing trip is also ideal for beginners.
From Corfu we sail to Paxos, where steep bays and thousands of olive trees await us, and then to Antipaxos: the colour of the water here is reminiscent of the Caribbean! - From there we head south, passing Cephalonia and Ithaca, from where Odysseus ruled his empire according to Greek mythology. Through Lefkada we sail north again, past Skorpios, for decades the private island of the Onassis family, back to Corfu.
Our classic sailing holidays are perfect for those who are looking for an unforgettable holiday in a small group of people with similar interests. No previous sailing experience or knowledge is required, and we sail with a professional and friendly international crew. The languages spoken on the boat are German and English.
