Sailing Croatia
The holidaymaker’s new summertime darling, Croatia is more than just a pretty face. If the endless turquoise seas, dramatic coastlines bejewelled with orange tile, and countless UNESCO heritage sites weren’t enough, Croatia delivers a masterclass in history, culture and staggering natural beauty.
Sailing Italy
There’s a reason why the Italians coined such phrases as la dolce vita (the ‘sweet’ or good life) and il dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing) as philosophical approaches to life: in a land this blessed with climate, cuisine and culture, it’s very easy to sit back and allow Italy to work its magic.
Sailing France (Corsica)
From the rarified air of the Côte d’Azur to the lavender fields, olive groves and picturesque villages of Provence, south-eastern France offers a treasure trove of sensory experiences. Here, opportunities for cultural exploration unravel as far as one’s curiosity allows, whether adhering to the sparkling coastline or venturing inland for a day trip to discover fresh local farmers’ markets, tour a vineyard or participate in a game of pétanque.
Sailing Greece
The land of sun-bleached ruins and glittering blue seas, where history is felt in every sculpture, relic and temple, and tradition in each cliffside donkey ride and mouthful of crumbling feta. Greece is the ancient bedrock of Western culture — one that continues to inspire to this very day.
Sailing Montenegro
Amongst the myriad sights of Europe, Montenegro can often take a backseat to the more tourist-heavy Greece or Croatia, a sleepy little country nestled between the Adriatic coast and its bigger, broader Southeastern siblings. Don’t be deterred: Montenegro’s quiet corner of the world is an unspoiled haven where mountain crashes into the sea, coastlines are adorned with picturesque villages, and locals are famed for their sunny dispositions.
