My husband and I planned our honeymoon in Sept. 2018 as a few days in Athens, then taking a bus to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio for an afternoon and onward to a marina where we met Luciana and Renato. They gave us a warm welcome of Prosecco and conversation with the other passengers, one woman traveling alone and two friends traveling together. Luciana and Renato offered us a free upgrade to the master suite, which had a huge bed, en suite bathroom, and 'skylight' that opened for extra air flow. With the tides/winds/storms for the week, Renato our expert captain navigated us to the Saronic islands, which was beautiful smooth sailing to places like Hydra, Aegina, Poros, and so many other amazing bays and ports! The typical schedule was waking to jazz to let us know breakfast was ready (fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, etc.), finding a quiet bay/alcove to swim, eating a home-cooked meal deliciously made with love by Luciana on the boat (often fish or kebab with salad or potatoes - always something fresh and flavorful!), then off to the next port to explore and have dinner on land (apart or together), and back to the boat to sleep for the night. Luciana and Renato gave great recommendations for the various ports, and we loved that the places we went had stuff to explore but weren't overwhelmed with tourists -- they were very local spots. We even encountered a pistachio festival! We saw dolphins several times and even swam alongside our boat for several minutes (literally, next to us -- we could touch them). September was a great time to go as far as ports not being crowded, temperature not to humid, water not too cold. We only had one rough sail briefly where we kind of had to hunker down, but no one got sick or tossed overboard since Renato minimized our wind exposure when we could get between islands. My husband is a sailor, so he got to help with the boat a bit, but it's not necessary for the excursion as Luciana and Renato are expert Captain and First Mate. It was a very, very special honeymoon that we will remember always and hope to replicate in the future! I cannot recommend this type of trip, and specifically the hospitality of Luciana and Renato, enough!!!

He was a pleasure to have around, and helped to make our day a memorable one. The wineries and the Nemea region were lovely.
