Sailing and gastronomy in the Ionian Sea
Chef: Andrew
30.8-7.9.2019
In 2019 we introduce our gastronomy trips! A concept and idea that we have been thinking about since 2015 and have tried tried to explore since then. It is now time to have a professional Chef and good friend Andrew onboard to explore the tastes, cuisine and culture of the Ionian Sea onboard a sailing yacht along with a chef.
Enjoy a week trip with a different destination/island every day, freshly prepared meals onboard with local products and also visits to
- Wine production at a vineyard
- Olive oil extraction
- Cheese production
- Local cured meats
- and cooking workshops onboard.
The sailing trip starts from Lefkas on July and visits the islands Meganisi, Kastos, Kalamos and Ithaca before returning to Lefkas. During this trip, we will enjoy also swimming in amazing waters with great visibility, explore amazing locations, learn in first hand about Greek and Ionian gastronomy, explore different destinations each day, hiking, local festivals and modern cooking concepts!
Join us for a week of holidays, Greek waters and learning about Greek gastronomy.
