Our journey began at the picturesque port of Piso Livadi, where the elegant Galatea, a 19-meter Turkish schooner, awaited. With its spacious design and luxurious layout, the Galatea promised an exclusive and comfortable sailing experience. Limiting the number of passengers to 25 ensured an intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

Next, we sailed to the wild and unspoiled island of Despotiko. Depending on the weather, we either anchored at Livadi Beach with its green waters or in the channel between Antiparos and Despotiko, offering views of the ancient Temple of Apollo. Here, we enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch featuring Greek specialties and a selection of free drinks.
