    CRUISE ON LUXURY YACHT WITH HOTEL TREATMENT: ALSO SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A SAILBOAT. Our holidays have very relaxing rhythms: in the morning Luciana prepares a rich breakfast and after coffee we leave to anchor in a beautiful bay where you can swim, snorkel or lie in the sun on the comfortable bow cushions reading a book or enjoying the wonderful views. For lunch we usually choose a different bay, a dip and we will be ready to enjoy a light and tasty meal in the cockpit perhaps accompanied by a good ice-cold wine! In the afternoon, wind permitting, we sail and everyone participates in the manoeuvres. Before sunset we usually moor in a small port on one of the Greek islands on our itinerary. The villages are always great to visit and the Greek tavernas serve very tasty and cheap food. With the right conditions, we will also sleep in a quiet and sheltered bay, with an aperitif at sunset and dinner under the stars!
