Going sailing definitely is very different to when you go on holidays ashore, a mix of adventure, luxury, tranquility and excitement which can appeal to one and all!
Sailing trips are different to any other type of holiday for a number of reasons, one of the most important ones is lack of limitless space on board! The other one is that while sailing, you may end up sweating during the daytime, but feel chilly when night falls. With this in mind we present the ideal packing list for your sailing holiday so you will enjoy every moment on board and get the most out of your yachting adventure with Aegean Sea Cruises!
Essentials: Start planning your packing by selecting the right luggage! When you come on board don’t pack excessively. A duffle bag or even a back pack should be more than enough for a week’s sailing. Any hard-cased suitcase is difficult for your skipper to bring it on board and will fill up space in your cabin that you wish you had available for yourself!
For both men & women the necessary clothing you should consider bringing is:
Ladies particulars: A couple of strap tops, few vest tops, and 5-6 t-shirts will be enough for a week. A pair of denim shorts, a couple of dresses for a night-out and underwear will be the utmost essentials for a lady on a yacht! Sandals since you’re sailing Greece are also a must!
Men particulars: Guys, this is mostly so you don’t forget the important stuff! So, a couple of jeans or linen trousers along with a couple of shirts will be enough for looking like a yachtie when ashore! Apart from swimsuits, flip-flops, jacket and sunnies, a pair of closed shoes will be fine for when you’re about to go for a stroll & don’t forget your undies & a belt!
Explore Zakynthos Island
Recommended Stops: Blue Caves – Shipwreck – Mizithres – Keri Caves – Marathonisi Island – Turtle Spotting – Gerakas Beach – Vassilikos Beaches
We recommend to depart around 09:00 am from Zakynthos port in Zakynthos town, sailing across the coastline of Tsilivi and Alykanas, you can have your first stop for swimming in the Blue Caves.
We get near the Blue Caves located on the northern coast of the island; the wild white rocky landscape along with the calm crystal clear blue waters of the sea creates a contrast that leaves you speechless.
The Blue Caves are ideal for diving from the yacht in the transparent deep blue waters. Our next stop is the famous “Shipwreck” beach with the dazzling colors and the white sand. You can enjoy its turquoise waters and take the best pictures with your loved ones.
After that we can take our time and stop along some private beaches near the Shipwreck. Mizithres is the next stop. Two big rocks in the sea create a beautiful beach. We sail towards the Keri Caves and the impressive “Kamara” cave. At the Marathonisi Island you can use our snorkeling equipment in order to explore its caves.
Our next stop is in Laganas to see the famous turtle “Caretta – Caretta” the rare species of the Mediterranean Sea. The Turtle that comes to Zakynthos to lay its eggs, swimming next to us, so you can take photos or swim near this amazing creature.
We recommend making a stop for lunch in Porto Roma in a very nice Greek tavern on the beach with an amazing view that serves delicious Greek dishes.
After your tasteful lunch we can stop to enjoy swimming in the most famous beaches of Vasilikos (Banana) or in a private beach of Porto Davias.
If you wish you can make a stop to do water sports in St Nikolas. Then we head back to Zakynthos port.
