On impressive courses. In a small group.

The golf courses that GOLF and SAIL CRUISES visits are some of the most impressive in Greece. All courses offer both ambitious golfers and players who are more meditative and relaxed great experiences in an extremely charming nature. There are mountain courses or fairways that wind through olive tree stands or lie directly by the sea. On this trip we play the beautiful Bay Course, the new Hills Course and the exhilarating International Olympic Academy Golf Course.

Program

Day 1. Athens (Piraeus)

Your dream trip begins. From the airport you check in directly to the RUNNING on WAVES. We spend the evening with a first dinner together on board. From now on, time passes more slowly! Your vacation at sea begins!

Day 2. Monemvasia

Medieval Castle Town, exclusively carved on a huge rock looking as if it came down from a fairy tale.

Day 3. Methoni / Golf Costa Navarino

Small town, which was already mentioned in Homer's Iliad as Pedasos. Today at noon, around 12:00, you'll head out for your first game of golf on the spectacular new Hills Course.

Day 4. Pylos / Costa Navarino Golf

Today we are going to the second new golf course, the Olympic Course, of the famous Greek Golf Club Costa Navarino. Because our ship stays overnight in the harbor of Pylos, you will be able to explore the small harbor town with its steep street sand the great atmosphere. In the evening you will have dinner in a typical Greek harbor taverna, of course directly at the sea. Afterwards you can end the evening with cocktails at the Ocean Bar, which is available to us on board around the clock.

Day 5. Pylos / Golf Costa Navarino

After a nice and convivial evening we will go to the Bay Course of the Costa Navarino Golf Club. The holes leading directly along the sea symbolize the Mediterranean flair of this special course. In the newly built clubhouse you can enjoy the great view of the idyllic bay of Pylos with a cool drink after the round. With the transfer we go together with our golf luggage back to the ship.

Day 6. Zakynthos

Today we reach the hilly and southernmost Ionian island of Greece, known as the Flower of the East for its lush vegetation and by its National Marine Park for the protection of sea turtle nesting sites. We will anchor off the island. Stroll through the town with its galleries, cafes and taverns or just enjoy the atmosphere on board, swim or kayak. The evening belongs to the captain's dinner!

Day 7. At Sea & Corinth Canal

This day is themed sailing, regeneration and recreation. Interesting activities are offered on board such as mast climbing, learning knots, exploring the engine room or steering the ship yourself. During a putting challenge on the Running on Waves the best golf putter will be determined and honored. Around 9:00 pm we reach another highlight of the trip, the Corinth Canal, to sail through it under romantic lighting on the Running on Waves.

Day 8. Piraeus/Athens

Now, unfortunately, the journey comes to an end. We have to say goodbye to our caring and warm crew. At about 7:00 am we reach the port of Piraeus. After breakfast, full of melancholy and great travel experiences, we will depart individually to Athens airport for our flight home. If you have extended your vacation individually, enjoy a few more days in Athens.
