FROM MALTA TO ANCIENT GREECE

This varied voyage through the heart of the Mediterranean begins on Malta. First the Chronos sails to little Comino, where the Blue Lagoon invites you for a refreshing swim.

Then the ship crosses the strait between Malta and Sicily to Pozzallo and sails along the south coast of Sicily to Syracuse, one of the most historic cities in the Mediterranean, with the old town of Ortigia and Greek and Roman remains.

EXTRA INFORMATION

LIFE ON BOARD

The Chronos is a 54-metre Bermuda ketch with 1,000 m² of sail and reaches up to 15 knots: one of the fastest and most beautiful large sailing yachts. She was designed by Klaus Röder, built by the Ark Yacht yard in Bodrum and has sailed since 2013. A crew of ten takes care of sailing, galley and service. There are thirteen twin cabins for up to 26 guests, all with adjustable air conditioning and private bathroom: ten Deluxe cabins of 12 to 13 m² with separate beds or a double bed, two Long cabins of 11 m² with a double bed and a master cabin of 14 m². The large deck has plenty of seating and dining areas; below deck there is a saloon and a bar. The pace is relaxed: sailing by day from bay to bay or island to island, with time to swim from the ship, go ashore and enjoy the deck. You are always welcome to help with the sails, but you do not have to. The route is indicative and depends on wind and weather.
