The Perfect Sailing Holiday in Greece.
ZenBoat is a brand-new concept launching this September, providing a wellbeing boost for the body and mind. It has long been known that just being near the sea has therapeutic benefits; the brain releases feel-good hormones, which make us feel happier. And here we have the perfect sailing holiday, among beautiful Greek islands and the delightful Peloponnese peninsula, on a classic gulet, with daily light exercise and delicious Mediterranean cuisine combined.
Originally designed for fishing, today's gulets provide all the amenities of a luxury cruise. A health coach leads daily light workouts on each gulet, while a chef whips up tasty yet nutritious Mediterranean fare. The islands seen on the way to Athens are some of the most beautiful in the world, from the mysterious Ionian group to the gorgeous Peloponnese coastline, and the charming and relatively unknown Saronic group.
Private islands and beaches are on the agenda for each weeklong cruise. The Diamonds & Pearls cruise departs from Corfu and visits some of the most beautiful islands and mainland locations in Greece. Across the Gulf of Corinth and on to Athens through the Corinth Canal, the gulet may reach secluded coves and smaller harbours that larger ships cannot. The Health Coach will arrange for gentle physical activities like yoga, pilates, aqua gym, and callisthenics for guests once they return to the gulet from a day of swimming and snorkelling. The ship's chef will make delicious and healthy breakfast and lunch buffets every day using only the freshest ingredients available in the Mediterranean.
Every night, the gulet will dock in a new port, and passengers will disembark to stroll to nearby tavernas for a taste of genuine Greek fare.
The Maya Boutique Hotel in Nax, Switzerland, a small, sustainably built hotel that offers retreats specialising in nutrition and fasting with a variety of outdoor activities, is where Swiss Chef Louis Papadopoulos and his wife, Lisa, a trained nutritional therapist, came up with the idea for ZenBoat!
During the epidemic, ZenBoat was established. They were on vacation in Greece when they were viewing the yachts in the harbour and had the inspiration to bring their knowledge and expertise from The Maya Boutique Hotel to a classic gulet and develop a comparable, comprehensive idea.
Commenting, Louis and Lisa say, “Life isn't about the destination; it's about the journey; ZenBoat is about both. The unique gulet allows guests to sail to stunning secluded spots, accessible solely by smaller boats, while savouring tasty Mediterranean food and enjoying gentle exercise to suit all fitness levels. We believe that being surrounded by healthy food and activities, like-minded people, and the sun and the sea is the perfect rejuvenation for mind, body, and soul—everything that a wellness holiday promises."
