It is hard to say good bye to Greece and the beautiful Ionian Islands. The beautiful fishing villages and all the nice hiking, climbing, freediving and kitespots became a second home to me. This is why I choose to sail once more in the Ionion sea between April and June 2024 and revisit the best spots we found the past view years, before we set sail to the Caribean. April 15 – April 29: Ionian Sea (Zakynthos, Lefkas, Ithaka, Kefalonia, Peloponnese) Route Our routes will be in the area of the islands of Zakynthos, Lefk as, Ithaka, and Kefalonia, as well as the Gulf of Patras and along the Peloponnese. During this time, we’ll have perfect wind conditions, and it won’t be too hot. In the early afternoon, we expect reliable west winds reaching up to 20 knots, calming down completely in the evenings for peaceful nights. In the mornings or when the Meltemi in the Aegean is strong, the east wind will help us sail northwest. Over the past two years, this area has been our adventure playground, discovering numerous sport climbing crags and kite spots that we plan to revisit. Each day promises a different beautiful anchorage! We’ll visit picturesque fishing villages with medieval fortifications and enjoy the affordable Greek cuisine and famous hospitality in idyllic bays. Messolonghi, three hours by the affordable bus (25e) from Athens, serves as both the starting and ending point. Attached is a bus schedule from the two main airports, Athens and Preveza (Aktio), to Messolonghi (where the boat is). Depending on the wind, we may visit highlights in the Gulf of Corinth, such as the Roman harbor of Lepanto (Nafpaktos) with a castle and a beautiful city, as well as kite spots, Varasova, a dream beach under an 800m high cliff with a freshwater spring, the best fish restaurant in Greece, sport climbing opportunities, and another top kite spot, Scrofabeach, my personal favorite with a taverna and the top kite spot Dionis. About costs The costs to maintain Too Wild  are pretty high  – annually about 25.000€ for maintenance.  This is why I have to ask for a cost contribution from my crew. Although prices increase dramatically everywere our costshare will remain unchanged now for 12 years. Crew visiting again get a 10% discount. Fuel will be covered by me. Provisioning is done by the crew together on the departure day – we will assist but not be involved if not needed. These contributions do not cover my costs at all but help me to keep running. I hope for your understanding. I believe that our cost share is fair since our crew can enjoy sailing with an exceptional boat and enjoy our lifestyle for a limited time without financial risk.
