(Find English version below) 25.07.-01.08.: SAIL & JAM Island-Hopping in Greece Vol. 2! Ahoy! It seems you are a passionate globetrotter! I'm sure you are always looking for unique trips and adventures 🌎 I might have something for you ;) Do you feel like an exciting sailing trip on a great catamaran from island to island in Greece? Find the most beautiful places to dive, anchor in secluded bays in front of uninhabited islands and sleep out on deck under the stars! If you're lucky, you'll even catch a fish and watch dolphins. In any case, the guitar is already in the luggage! Don't worry - you don't have to know how to sail! Only the desire for an adventure & the passion for extraordinary journeys you should bring along 🌏 It is our firm belief that it is the goosebump moments and encounters with other people that make travel special. That's why we want to make it possible for everyone to see the world with their own eyes. On our adventure travel you can connect with like-minded globetrotters and share your experiences and learn something from the others while traveling! 🚀 Athens is the optimal starting point for a trip to the Saronic Islands, located southwest of the Greek Capital of Culture. The region is very weather stable in July with lukewarm nights, low waves and bright blue skies during the day. The Saronic Sea offers beautiful empty sandy beaches on a variety of small Mediterranean islands. We are cruising on a brand new Lagoon 380 (38 foot catamaran). This boat has plenty of room for eight people with 4 spacious bedrooms each, a salon with kitchen, sofa and stereo, lounge outside and a net trampoline to relax on in the front area. A catamaran is super relaxing, it rocks very little, so you don't have to worry about seasickness :-) For fun besides sailing, we bring a total of 2 stand-up paddle boards, snorkel sets and a projector for beach cinema. And who am I? I am your skipper Ben. With a buddy I sailed around the world for almost 5 years. On our trip we experienced a lot, met great people and made a lot of music (we are musicians and studied sound engineers). We filmed the whole thing and our travel documentary "Blown Away" was shown in many German cinemas in 2019. So, be there! Together we will explore the beautiful Saronic islands, sail, swim, dive, fish 🐟 , do yoga 🧘♀, watch the new cinema documentary "Blown Away" in the outdoor boat cinema 🎬 , soak up the sun☀ , chat and listen to music, music, music🎼 And when we anchor, we can make a campfire on the beach and grill our self-caught fish! Leave the car and sail right into the adventure. That's what it really means to get away from it all. Are you with us? 😊 Then send us a message in a bottle! :) We look forward to seeing you!

Trip Itinerary

Athens

Day 1-2
Day 1: Arrival, shopping and cooking Greek food together. The Marina Alimos (Kalamaki) will be our starting point. We will give you a small tour of our new home (a Lagoon 380 catamaran), you can move into your bunks and get comfortable. Then we'll go shopping together so we can all cook our favorite meals during the week (and want for nothing else) and in the evening we'll cook something delicious together and enjoy delicious Greek wine and tzatziki. Life on board is real teamwork, one of the best things about sailing! At the beginning no one knows each other, but quickly you become a well-oiled crew of explorers who stick together. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Marina Alimos (Kalamaki) will be our sailing launch point.
