Setting sail from beneath the majestic shadow of Mount Etna, the voyage leaves the Sicilian coast behind, heading into the deep blue of the Ionian Sea. The promise of Greece awaits—a journey across legendary waters toward the Ionian archipelago. Each island reveals itself as an emerald jewel, offering a tapestry of lush green landscapes, limestone cliffs plunging into turquoise waters, and secluded white-sand coves. The passage becomes one of constant discovery, from the Venetian harbors of Corfu to the mythical shores of Ithaca, before reaching the welcoming entrance of the Ambracian Gulf, where Preveza greets you.

Along the route, we will visit numerous official take-off sites. As in our past expeditions, we’ll also seek out new, magical spots where no one has flown before. This journey offers a mix of coastal soaring sites on the islands and XC-friendly areas on the mainland.

Regardless of your skill level, solid ground handling is highly recommended. Many launch sites are rocky and not well-prepared, so a robust wing is preferable. Travel light, as we’ll be doing a good amount of hiking.

Each pilot should carry a vhf radio and a cellphone for communication.
