ARGONAUTS

Sail with Ray and Nina 

We arrive gently into ancient harbors where whitewashed houses tumble toward the sea, islands that have welcomed sailors, poets, healers, and dreamers for thousands of years. Evenings unfold with fresh, vegetarian-friendly meals, long sunsets, and laughter carried on the Mediterranean breeze. This is not a journey to become someone new, but to remember who you were before life got complicated—playful, connected, and in quiet conversation with the divine through sea, sky, and salt air and people.

For me, sailing has never been about luxury or prestige. It is about freedom. It is about returning to something ancient within ourselves that awakens the moment the sails catch the wind and the shoreline fades into the distance.

From land, boats may look beautiful as they glide across the horizon. But once you step aboard, you discover that sailing is something entirely different. It is a whole-body, whole-mind, and whole-soul experience. The rhythm of the sea, the sound of the wind, and the simplicity of life on the water gradually quiet the mind and reconnect you with what truly matters.

 I believe every voyage is its own Odyssey—a journey away from the distractions of modern life and a homecoming to your authentic self. By the end of the week, you don't simply feel relaxed; you feel recalibrated. Your nervous system settles into balance, your body begins to find its natural rhythm, and you reconnect with the deepest part of who you are.

Spending a week aboard a catamaran has a remarkable way of changing how you see the world—and yourself. It is not merely a vacation; it is an immersive, cellular experience that invites transformation. Long after you return to shore, something within you has shifted. You carry the calm of the sea, the openness of the horizon, and a renewed perspective into every aspect of your life.

Islands we plan to visit...

Epidavros bay

Epidavros 

Old Epidavros is an ancient port active since the 5th century BC 
Epidaurus was independent of Argos and not included in Argolis until the time of the Romans. With its supporting territory, it formed the small territory called Epidauria. It was reputed to be founded by or named for the hero Epidaurus, and to be the birthplace of Apollo's son Asclepius, the healer. 

PERDIKA BAY png

Perdika 

Perdika is a small fishing village at the SE point of the island of Aegina. It is a quintessential example of a small Greek harbor, forgotten by time and tourism.  It has a population of approximately 900 people and is known for its welcoming culture. 

HYDRA BAY

Hydra 

A rich naval tradition and a cosmopolitan island ambiance are the defining characteristics of Hydra - a popular island in the Argosaronic Gulf - which attracts every year many personalities and jet-setters from Greece and abroad. This was the favorite destination and place of residence of painter Nikos Hatzikyriakos-Ghika, Leonard Cohen, and Henry Miller. The island’s great beauty was appreciated also by celebrities such as Maria Callas, Pablo Picasso, and Sophia Loren.
POROS--edited

Poros 

Popular poets and prose writers, such as Georgios Seferis, Ioulia Dragoumi and the American writer Henry Miller, have praised its beauty. Pinewoods cover the island’s hills and go all the way to the sandy beaches. The Poros Strait and the seaside area of Galata with its pine, olive, and lemon groves surround the picturesque Poros town, where beautiful neoclassical buildings grace the seafront; it’s a place of great beauty!

ERMIONI BAY

Ermioni 

Hermes' port has been continuously inhabited, at least since the times of Homer. Long before classical times, ancient Hermione was settled by Dryopians. During the classic era it was well known for its shipbuilders and also for the production of porphyra, a very important red dye. This dye was used for the colouring of the uniforms of many armies, including that of Alexander the Great. It controlled a wider region named Hermionis.
