Captain Spiros is a good man and knows the best spots to go. Overall, we had an amazing time. Only recommendation is to improve your food / snacks... or to bring your own.

The area were you can sail is small enough to fully explore in one day, and is very beautiful with multiple swimming/snorkeling spots.

This is the fourth time I have sailed out of Gouvia and it's always a pleasure to return to some great spots, including Aghios Stefanos, Kaloura and Monastery Bay at Mourtos.

I have sailed the Ionian for almost 40 years. It's much more crowded now and the amount of berthing space that catamarans take up is an issue. Little Vathi Marina will gurantee a berth if booked well in advance and allows day long sailing whereas if you want a stern-to berth on a wall or pontoon in Kioni, Fiskardo, Sivota, Kastos, Kalamos or basically anywhere in the area you really need to be in before lunch.
