Lefkas is a nice village with shops and restaurants and from the marina we start our clothing optional gay sailing cruise on our comfortable 48 feet yacht, and set sail heading south towards one of the most relaxing and picturesque sailing areas of Greece! The many islands are mostly natural and green with only few villages, and offer plenty of crystal clear water bays to choose from for lunch, swim and overnight stops.
The villages are all small and very picturesque and have nice restaurants. Ithaca is the island from Odysseus and you can extend your stay on Lefkas island with it's sandy (nude) beaches and light blue water, as well as the beautiful Katziki bay. We will also visit Scorpios island, known as the former 'Onassis island' where we drop anchor in front of the beach where Jackie Onassis' beach house is located: close your eyes and imagine to be part of their luxury life style :-)
The end of the summer is a good period for this gay sailing cruise in Greece: the water is warm and many European school holidays are over. Join this fun and relaxed sailing adventure with an international group of other enthusiastic Gay SAILOR dudes!
Average distances per day range from 10 to 15 NM or 2 to 4 hours depending on the weather conditions. The sailing area is mostly protected by the islands, so seas are usually not too heavy.
The sailing area is south of the Lefkas marina and starts once leaving the channel. The area is famous for it's many bays, not too long distances, beautiful small villages and green islands with pine and olive trees. And it is not unusual to see dolphins here!
Most of the sailing area is protected by the islands which means that the seas are usually not very rough. The winds are generally not very strong and pick up in the afternoon. Nights are usually quiet.
Typical islands to visit are Lefkas, Scorpios (from the Onassis family), Meganissi, Kalamos, Kastos, Ithaca and Kefalonia.
Skippers note: one of my favourite areas, perhaps because this is where I learned (and fell in love) with sailing!
