Greek Ionian Islands — May to October
A culinary sailing retreat through the Greek Ionian Islands — where strangers become crew, and every meal is made with soul.
No buffet lines. No crowded resorts. No alarm clocks.
Just you, a small crew of kindred spirits, and the open Ionian Sea. Wake up anchored in a turquoise bay. Drink specialty coffee as the sun climbs over Ithaca. Swim before breakfast. Sail to the next island. Watch Ana turn whatever she found at the morning market into something you'll talk about for years.
This is slow travel at its purest — wind, water, food, and people worth sharing a table with.

Strangers become crew
Your week traces the ancient Ionian route — the same waters Odysseus sailed home through.
Board the catamaran. Meet your crew. Short crossing to a sheltered bay at Meganisi. First dinner on deck — Ana's welcome spread under a wide-open sky.
Sail to Atokos — an uninhabited island locals call the "Greek Bahamas." White pebble beach, crystal water, not a soul in sight. Evening BBQ on board.
Sail to Vathi, the heart of Ithaca — homeland of Odysseus. Cobblestone streets, handmade ceramics, a taverna where the owner knows every fisherman.
Cross to Antisamos Bay — the beach from Captain Corelli's Mandolin. SUPs, snorkeling, a hike to the clifftop monastery. Dinner under the stars.
Underground boat ride through Melissani Cave. Drogarati Grotto. Wine tasting of local Robola. Feed Caretta-Caretta sea turtles in Argostoli harbor.
A tiny fishing village that hasn't changed in decades. Swim at Afalas beach. Fresh seafood dinner at a waterfront taverna. Nobody checks their phone.
Last morning swim in a hidden bay. Light lunch from Ana. Final crossing back to Lefkada Marina. You arrived as strangers. You leave as crew.
Ana is a self-made chef who found her calling early and never looked back. Mediterranean at heart, but impossible to pin down — she cooks by feel, by season, by whatever the island offered that morning.
Here's the thing that makes her different: she never tastes while she cooks. Not once. She trusts her hands, her nose, her years at the stove. And every single time — every plate, every meal, every improvised creation — it's extraordinary.
Breakfast
Slow and generous. Fresh everything.
Lunch
Light and fresh. Between swims.
Dinner
The main event. One table, one crew, one story.
This isn't catering. This is someone cooking for you like you're family.
Every morning starts the same way: specialty-grade coffee, brewed properly, served on deck while the sea is still glass.
No rush. No schedule. Just a perfect cup, bare feet on teak, and a horizon that belongs to you.
Captain
Five years on the water. European skipper licence. Sailed the Ionian, the Adriatic, and beyond. But Roman doesn't just navigate — he builds crews. Eight strangers board on Day 1. By Day 7, they're family. That's not an accident. It's his gift.
When he's not at the helm, Roman runs a specialty coffee company. The sea, the coffee, the people — that's more than enough.
Chef
Self-made chef. Mediterranean soul. Cooks like a force of nature — no recipes, no measuring, no tasting. Just instinct refined over years of feeding people she loves.
Ana's kitchen is wherever she is. On a catamaran in Greece, it becomes the heart of the whole trip.
Together, Roman and Ana don't just host trips. They curate experiences — choosing every guest, planning every route, crafting every meal. This is their life, and they're inviting you into it.
We keep our crews small — 6 to 8 guests per trip. And we personally choose who comes.
Tell us about yourself. Who you are, what draws you to this, what you're looking for.
A short call with Roman. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation to see if it's the right fit.
If it clicks, you book your spot. We handle the rest.
7 days of sailing, a private chef, specialty coffee, and a crew you'll never forget — for less than most people spend at a resort buffet.
