Sailing the Gulf of Naples: One-Week Loop from Marina di Stabia via Ischia and the Amalfi Coast
A one-week, 96 nm loop from Marina di Stabia taking in Ischia's thermal harbours, Capri, and the fishing villages of the Amalfi Coast. Short to moderate legs and an intermediate rating make it ideal for a crew with one charter already logged.

The Sporades pack pine forests, empty anchorages, and genuine sailing variety into short inter-island legs that suit an intermediate crew perfectly. This one-week loop from Volos visits Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonnisos and covers around 130-155 nm over five sailing days.

Sailing from Paros into the Quiet Cyclades: Iraklia, Koufonisia, Amorgos and Beyond
Paros is the gateway, but the real Cyclades start once you clear the harbour and head south. This seven-day route threads through the Small Cyclades and the quieter outer islands, covering Iraklia, Schinoussa, Koufonisia, Amorgos, and Donoussa on passages that feel nothing like the usual charter circuit.

Route
Sailing from Nikiti to the Sporades via Lemnos: A Two-Week Northern Aegean Passage
Most charterers stick to the Chalkidiki peninsulas and call it a holiday — and that is fine. But if you have an intermediate-to-advanced crew and a taste for open water, this two-week loop from Nikiti through Lemnos, Agios Efstratios, and Skyros to the Sporades is one of the most rewarding and least-sailed routes in the Greek islands.

Sailing Zakynthos: Two-Week Loop from Lefkada or a Direct Island Charter
Zakynthos rewards the sailors willing to push south past Kefalonia — a two-week loop from Lefkada covers sheer limestone cliffs, the famous Shipwreck Beach, and turtle nesting bays with noticeably fewer boats than the northern Ionian.

The Diapontia Islands sit within a day's sail of Corfu Town, yet most charter boats never find them. This seven-day loop maps a practical northern Ionian circuit through near-deserted Erikoussa, Mathraki, and Othoni — with an optional overnight across the Albanian border into Saranda for sailors who want the full story.
