Suggested
Route Four
For
those that like the quiet and slightly different holiday
we offer the The Ambracian Gulf.
 |
|
Alyki
|
This
is the other, not so public, side to Greece; one that is
eagle-nested high up the mountains of Pindos and Macedonia,
and low under the tourist horizon in small coves of fishing
villages that pepper the coast like tiny unspoiled gems.
The
Ambracian Gulf does not pretend to have much to offer to
the average tourist that seeks luxuries and excitement.
Nor does it aspire to achieve the riches of the other more
popular tourist destinations. The Ambracian Gulf is the
humble dwelling of fishermen and farmers making a living
among the rich nature of the shallow bay and the surrounding
marshlands. Wildlife of all kinds are the most populous
visitors here, and those who have know the land in intimate
detail prefer it this way.
Here
we will sail leisurely round the gulf.
 |
|
Salaora
|
Second
night - we'll visit the delightful beach of Salaora
which is entirely covered in shells and is a complete wonder
to behold. Then sailing on we'll moor over night in the
little town off Alyki.
Third
night - we will head off to Amfilochia where you will
have the chance to shop and eat at the many tavernas.

|
Amfilochia
|
Forth
night - sailing gently round to Loutraki. Considered
Greeces most ancient bathing resort, name of Loutraki
being derived from "Thermia Artemis", the protector
goddess of therapeutic mineral waters.
 |
|
Vonista
|
Fifth
night - we'll head to Vonista. Here there is the remains
of a medieval castle to explore.
Sixth
night - we
will leisurely head back to Preveza. You will then have
the time to do some last minute shopping and dine out in
the town before heading home next day.
The
above is purely our suggestion. If you have a particular
spot that you would like to visit then we will make every
effort to get you there. If you book the yacht for a fortnight
then we can take in all of the above and then go on to one
of our other suggestions. The choice is yours.
