点评:Our group of 21 people embarked on a bucket list trip to sail the Greek Islands. A group of college friends (40+ years together) and young adult kids had a fantastic trip aboard the Queen of Hearts and Royal Flush. Captains Dimitris and Spiros were excellent skilled skippers docking in spaces that seemed too small to fit into and cooks/hostesses Alex and Alikaki prepared exceptional daily meals of breakfast and lunch. All were consummate professionals while also being friendly making sure everyone was comfortable. One couple had a family emergency and needed to return to the US immediately. Spiros went above and beyond to help secure transportation back to Athens.
The Saronic Islands and ports of Perdika, Ermioni, Nafplion, Hydra and Poros were simply beautiful each in their own special way. Our group hiked up to monasteries for breathtaking views, explored neighborhoods, shops and restaurants. We had dinner every evening in port. The skippers pulled into bays sheltered from the winds for swimming and lunch. A hint of Fall was in the air with cool mornings and nights but warm sunny days. Lightweight layers of clothes were needed.
The costs of the trip was right on target in our estimation. We accounted for fuel, dockage, provisioning, meals for the crew and tip in our estimate along with fixed costs for chartering. Be advised to have Euros in cash throughout the trip to pay for dockage, crew meals and extra provisions. Alex and Alikaki shopped daily for pastries and other foods needed which required cash. This was not extra costs - just needed more cash on hand instead of using credit cards.
Trip planning for 21 people could not have been possible without the help of YachtSailing Greece office staff- Eugene, Maria and the others. Questions were answered by video conference and emails.
A trip of a lifetime with many memories made with old friends and family. It exceeded our expectations! Greece is amazingly beautiful.
翻译:我们 21 人的团队开始了一次愿望清单之旅,航行希腊群岛。一群大学好友(在一起 40 多年)和年轻的成年孩子在红心皇后号和皇家同花顺号上度过了一段美妙的旅程。船长 Dimitris 和 Spiros 是优秀的熟练船长,停靠在似乎太小的空间里,厨师/女主人 Alex 和 Alikaki 准备了美味的每日早餐和午餐。他们都是完美的专业人士,同时也很友好,确保每个人都感到舒适。有一对夫妇家里有紧急情况,需要立即返回美国。Spiros 竭尽全力帮助确保返回雅典的交通。
萨罗尼克群岛和佩尔迪卡、埃尔米奥尼、纳夫普利翁、伊兹拉和波罗斯的港口各有特色,美不胜收。我们团队徒步前往修道院欣赏壮丽的景色,探索社区、商店和餐馆。我们每天晚上都在港口吃晚餐。船长们驶入避风的海湾游泳和吃午餐。空气中弥漫着一丝秋天的气息,早晚凉爽,但白天温暖晴朗。需要穿轻便的多层衣服。
我们估计这次旅行的费用正好在目标范围内。我们在估算中考虑了燃料、停泊、补给、船员餐食和小费,以及租船的固定费用。建议在整个旅行过程中都准备好欧元现金,以支付停泊、船员餐食和额外补给。Alex 和 Alikaki 每天都会购买糕点和其他需要现金的食物。这不是额外的费用——只是需要更多的现金而不是使用信用卡。
如果没有 YachtSailing Greece 办公室工作人员 Eugene、Maria 和其他人的帮助下,21 人的旅行计划不可能实现。问题通过视频会议和电子邮件得到回答。
一生难忘的旅行,与老朋友和家人留下了许多回忆。它超出了我们的预期!希腊美得令人惊叹。
