Weekend Sailing to Othonoi and Erikoussa: A Return to Nature
Weekend Sailing to Othonoi and Erikoussa: A Return to Nature
There’s a kind of journey that’s not measured in miles, but in emotions. It’s the experience of sailing from the coast of Salento to two hidden gems of the Ionian Sea: Othonoi and Erikoussa. Here, surrounded by untouched nature, you rediscover a different rhythm—far from the rush, close to what truly matters.
The journey begins with the wind
It all starts at sunset, setting sail from Santa Maria di Leuca. The first night is spent in port, and the next day, the boat crosses the Otranto Channel, guided by the wind. During those hours at sea, the connection with nature grows deeper: the horizon blurs with the sky, sounds fade, and you begin to feel part of the environment.
You don’t just observe nature—you live it. You breathe in the salty air, listen to the rhythm of the sea, and watch the sky shift through colors.
Othonoi: where nature sets the pace
As soon as you arrive at Othonoi, time seems to slow down. The island is wild, peaceful, welcoming. Its hidden bays are perfect for a swim in crystal-clear waters, and its trails wind through olive groves, pine trees, and Mediterranean scrub.
There are no schedules, no distractions—just the sound of wind through the trees, cicadas singing, and the quiet rhythm of the day unfolding.
Erikoussa: where green meets the sea
The next stop is Erikoussa, a small green island embraced by the sea. Here, you walk barefoot on golden sand, explore secret coves, and watch the sun set with the feeling of being truly far away from everything.
Nature is in charge once again: days move slowly, filled with small, meaningful moments. A sunrise swim, a sunset chat, and a sky full of stars to enjoy in silence.
Living the sea, not just watching it
You don’t just visit the sea—you live on it. You sleep on board, cook together, and share daily life. Every meal prepared in company tastes better, and every night anchored under the stars becomes a memory to treasure.
Nature is always present: the water beneath the hull, the sun on your skin, the ever-changing sky. And most of all, the awareness of being part of something bigger and beautifully alive.
An experience that reconnects you
A weekend sailing trip to Othonoi and Erikoussa is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen. To reconnect with yourself, with others, and with nature.
It’s a return to simplicity, an invitation to let go, to live the sea with respect and awe. An experience that stays with you long after the sails have been lowered.
