Hi everybody... hope someone can give
advice to some
Mediterranean rookies.
We are 12 couples (ager range 45 to 58) that will be
renting 3 catamarans and have one week to
Bareboat sail the
Med. We prefer the area Greece/Turkey/Croatia (any of those areas). After that we will enjoy one week stay on some Island/mainland town just to relax. We are at the infant stages of the planning and complete rookies about the area. We suppose the first thing to sort out is where to sail. From the
research we have done (on the Moorings.com website) it looks like there are a few kind of standard/popular sailing areas:
1. Gocek,
Turkey
2. Orhaniye,
Turkey
3. Agana,
Croatia
4. Dubrovnik,
Croatia
5. Athens,
Greece
6. Kos,
Greece
7. Lefkas, Greece
Now our question: If you only had one week in your life to go sail in the
Med areas Greece/Croatia/Turkey, where would it be? We know it depends on what one wants and what one enjoy. So here is our preferences...
1. We do not want to sail for 8 hours a day to get to our destinations... well not all 7 days
Shorter trips and visits to the islands or mainland towns suits us best
2. We love to see beautiful areas, spend time on white sandy beaches, have sunny
weather and swim in warm sea
water (after all we are Canadians
)
3. We love to snorkel and
Scuba and
fish (catch and release - not deep sea trawling stuff... just relaxing fishing)
4. We enjoy eating ashore and although we are not into disco's and techno
music, we love good
music, dancing and romantic atmospheres.
6. We are not millionaires
Where do you suggest we sail for our 7 days?
Is there someone out there that wants to suggest where to sail and enjoy a week of relaxation after the sail trip?
Your suggestions would really help these bunch of rookies plan better and enjoy their once in a lifetime holiday.
Thanks
