    IONIAN ISLANDS OF WESTERN GREECE Going into more detail of our proposals for Summer 2018 in Greece, we would like to give you an idea of the many passage possibilities. The countless islands with all their beauty, make Ionian Greece a destination that can offer exciting places to visit without the fear of getting bored. Here are few of our favorite itineraries: 1. CORFU TO CORFU ROUTE A : We sail around Corfu, visiting the stunning coastline of Paleochastrisa, sailing to Paxos and Antipaxos, and then navigate the mainland coast stopping in Parga, Mourtos and other beautiful locations. Returning to Corfu. ROUTE B : It takes us to the north of Corfu to visit the small but beautiful Diapontinie islands of Othoni, Erikoussa and Mathraki. Afterwards we will sail south to Paxos and Antipaxos and then return to Corfu. (Parga may be included as well, time dependent.) ROUTE C : More navigation from Corfu to Lefkas. We move to the west of Lefkas and stop in the lively Fiskardo on Cefalonia. Afterwards we head north-east up the Inland Sea touching Meganisi, Skorpios, the east coast of Lefkas, following the channel returning to Corfu via Paxos. (this is the most classic of routes) 2. CORFU TO ZAKYNTHOS (ZANTE) one way in 1 week (for the round trip allow 2 weeks) - From Corfu, we sail a coastal route, the channel of Lefkada, then descend and touch Meganisi, Fiscardo, Ithaca, west coast of Zakynthos and finish in the south of the island, in the beautiful bay of Laganas, where the turtles nest on the beaches.

  • About Skopelos Island
    About Skopelos island About Skopelos island Skopelos History Sightseeing Villages & Ports Beaches Local products Useful Information Access The Sporades are a group of islands on the prefecture of Magnesia and are comprised by the islands of Skopelos, Skiathos, Alonnisos and Skyros. Skopelos is the second biggest island of the Sporades with a population of 6000 residents, an extent of ground of 96 square klms and a length of beaches of 68 klms. The ground is mountainous and around three quarters of the ground are covered by pine trees. Skopelos is the greenest island in Greece, “the green and blue island” as formally declared by the international organization of Biopolitics. It is a diamond that adorns the Aegean with an ideal environment where the green pines and dense forests blend with the light blue sea and sky creating a picture of incomparable natural beauty. Apart from pine trees there is also a rich flora as a great number of rare plants adorn the rich nature. The main road network of Skopelos is a distance of 35 klms. It stretches from the Hora to the port of Glossa (Loutraki). To enjoy all the beautiful sights of Skopelos it is helpful to have the use of a car or motorbike. If you don’t have one of your own you can rent a vehicle on the island or use the local bus or taxi service. The roads are in good condition and the ride through the forests is particularly enchanting. Nature has endued the island with some characteristics that are hard to find elsewhere.

He comes to our village every year from his home in Cheltenham, sometimes several times, and has taken to here- abouts like a bird to the sky. He owns a parcel of the New Cactus Hilton, on which the event will take place. He has threatened to take his land away if anyone up- sets him. Last year he went to the sound-check and broke several drum-kits-not belonging to him of course- just to show us he can hit drums as hard as anyone else. And he has persuaded the other members of his long- suffering band- he must have got them drunk- to come and join the party. The Outboys have been spon- sored for their appearance this year by DAYLONG, an interna- tional company headed by fel- low-Agiot Paul Grove. Thank you very much for your contin- ued support of our event.

Die Termin- und Kojenplatz Gestaltung hat dann ergeben, dass mit der Familie ein eigener Törn geplant wurde. Mit Kindern Segeln war neu für uns, hat uns aber auch neugierig gemacht. Bei einem Kennenlern-Brunch in ihrem Haus haben wir unter anderem erfahren, dass die Kinder, Lilly 9 Jahre und Max 12 Jahre, bereits seit einiger Zeit auf der Alten Donau segeln lernen. Außerdem war die Familie im Vorjahr auf einem Gullet-Motorsegler mit 10 Personen und hatte dabei Lust auf mehr Segeln bekommen. Schon nach dem ersten Treffen hatten Stefan und Renate ein gutes Gefühl, die Chemie hat gepasst. Vereinbarungen wurden getroffen, der nötige Vertrag abgeschlossen. Das zweite Crewtreffen mit Einkaufsliste und sonstiger Detailbesprechung fand dann bei Stefan und Renate zu Hause statt und hat die positiven Gefühle noch bestärkt.

We invite you to join us! more information: www.annahiking.nl (31-3-2020) IKWS210I: Selection Corfu Trail off-season (8-day tour from one location) About AnnaHiking and the Corfu Trail In 1991 we visited Greece for the first time. Our love for the country, the culture, the climate, the food, the language and the Greek has grown ever since. We feel at home here and want to communicate this feeling to others. Most people are familiar with the Greek “islands with beautiful beaches”. Many islands also boast a splendid inland with historical paths, ideal for hiking. Corfu is such an island with much more on offer than beaches alone, and we’d love to introduce it to you. The Corfu Trail is only to be hiked as a trekking in May, June, September and October. The reason is the weather and availability of accommodation along the track. We’d like to offer you the possibility to walk some of the Trail also out of this season. This trip is organized by Aperghi Travel, our Greek colleagues on Corfu. They check and maintain the paths, arrange the (luggage) transfers and the on-site support. As self-guided hiker they’ll provide you with the route descriptions and all other necessary information.
