Western Mediterranean, Mallorca to Syracuse
This delivery passage on Kairos is for sailors who want to sail day and night: from Mallorca the route runs via Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands through the Strait of Messina to Syracuse. Watch duty and longer legs on the open sea shape the voyage, and there is no fixed shore programme.
Highlights
- Mallorca: casting off for the eastbound delivery.
- Aeolian Islands: sailing through the volcanic archipelago.
- Strait of Messina: the narrow passage between Sicily and the mainland.
- Syracuse: landfall on Sicily’s south-eastern coast.
A passage for sailors who want to be under sail day and night: watch duty, open sea and true blue-water sailing, without a fixed shore programme.
The Route
Mallorca
8 nights
Syracuse
How the route could go:
-
Mallorca (Mallorca) · Embarkation
Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and combines Mediterranean classic with cosmopolitan elegance. Palma's La Seu cathedral, the wild mountain coast of the Serra de Tramuntana (UNESCO), the old railway to Sóller and the countless calas (coves) define the island.
-
(Sardinia, Aeolian Islands, Strait of Messina)
-
Syracuse (Sicily) · Disembarkation
Syracuse on the east coast of Sicily was once among the most powerful cities of Greek antiquity. The old-town island of Ortygia, with its Temple of Apollo and the Arethusa spring, forms its historic heart.
The route of a sailing voyage may change without giving rise to mutual claims.
