Off to the Ionian Sea, Greece 🇬🇷
I’m super excited that we are setting off on our sailing adventure this weekend.
We booked our holiday some 9 months ago and I haven’t stopped going on about it since. Colin, my hubby has had a sailing trip on his bucket list for years, I was never over keen but once I got immersed in looking at brochures I got really excited.
We were due to go to the South Ionian Sea and travel to Ithaca, Kastos, Kalamos and Meganisi but due to some law change, something to do with novice sailors not being able to sail into the harbours, our route has had to change.
After researching the islands we were going to visit and admiring the stunning scenery from pictures I am somewhat disappointed about the change. Oh well, Colin says we will still have an amazing time and we can’t change it so just have to get on with it.
So, on Sunday morning we fly out to Prevenza on mainland Greece and drive to Sivota, on the south coast of Lefkas (via a bridge) where we meet our boat and fellow flotilla sailors for the week.
Our new route will now head up passed Meganisi, through the Lefkas canal and on to Prevenza and Paxos, although we won’t know the final route till we get there. This is such a short notice change I’m not sure the sailing company even know the exact route yet.
We had already booked an extra pair of hands for our first day but as we now have to navigate the canal they will need to stay with us for 2 days. Makes me kind of nervous that the sailing isn’t going to be quite as easy as I thought.
I look forward to sharing more of our journey but in the mean time your’ll find me practicing my knots in between packing my suitcase.
