33. I love sailing Greece | South Peloponnese | Sailing Greece

This week on Kawai we leave the Ionian Island of Zakynthos and sail to the Greece main land. We sail to Katakolon where we catch the train to Olympia, the birth place to the Olympic Games. Trace relives the spirit of the ancient games and beats me in a sprinting race.

We then set sail and head further south into the Peloponnese visiting Pylos and Navarino Bay where we check out the old fort of Navarino and one of Greece's iconic beaches, Voidikoilia Beach. During our hike we stumble across Nestor's cave, where Greek God Hermes was said to have hid the 50 cattle he stole from Apollo.

We also have a low key celebration for when we first met 19 years ago and have a beer at the local beach bar. This is just the beginning of our sail around the Southern Peloponnese and we have loved it so far.

Next week we visit Methoni, Kalamata and many more beautiful locations.

About us:

Our names are Jason and Tracey and we traded our house, cars, business, job and security for freedom, adventure, travel and living simply amongst nature and the seas on our 45 foot Hanse 445 sailing boat, Kawai.

We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the next year we hope to sail to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia.

Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :)

Good Girl. No fancy sailing glove's for you while hauling in that halyard. Heading for the Ionian for the summer and chanced upon your videos. Very enjoyable. Thanks for laying the groundwork for me. Stay safe.

Great video guys. Looks like you ran faster under that crumbling arch then in the 2m sprint.

Navarino Bay, Gialova and Pylos. Our favourite places. Been many times most recent Sept 2019.

Many thanks for the information in the video. It gave us the inspiration to visit Navarino Bay. And importantly we didn't wear long trousers on the hike up to the castle, retracing your foot steps today. Just about to rewatch your video on Methoni as we will be moving on soon. It's very sad that you might not be reunited with Kawai this season. Perhaps we will meet up with you next year. Cheers Steve & Susan

U guys have some beautiful footage of Greece

Beautiful places, best time of year to visit, not too hot. Didn’t know you could feel a minor earthquake in a boat.. Keep an eye for the silver cheeked toadfish, not too difficult to catch and extremely toxic.

Stunning shots! We can not wait to sail there. Wow! Cheers <3

Just seen start of video which I missed first time round. Julia, my wife who was 60 at the time, ran the Olympic track both ways and got a standing ovation from a group of American students. Oh and temp was 30 plus. I sat in the shade.

For those of you who have sailed Greece, what's your favourite spot? Hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching :)

Will you continue sailing through the winter or will you go on the hard or into a marina?
