Ep. 203 ~ We sail the stunning Ionian Islands of Greece, departing Lefkada and heading south to Ithaca—home of Odysseus and one of the most beautiful sailing destinations in the Mediterranean. What starts as a peaceful anchorage in Desimi Bay quickly turns into an adventure, with shifting winds, an unofficial regatta with friends and an unexpected situation that leads to rafting up two boats overnight.
Along the way, we explore Vathy on Ithaca, one of the best natural harbors in Greece, known for its calm protection, waterfront tavernas and rich history dating back to ancient times.
This episode is a mix of real sailing decisions, life aboard a catamaran and the kind of unpredictable moments that make sailing the Ionian so unforgettable.
If you're planning a sailing trip in Greece, chartering in the Ionian or dreaming about living aboard and exploring the Mediterranean—this one’s for you.
