You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.

Ioannis was one of the very first to invest in cruising catamarans, and then back in 2010, this visionary set up a cruising regatta/flotilla to coincide with the end of the season. To follow this event, which brought together no less than 34 catamarans and 300 crew (a record!), we accompanied the Excess Catamarans team aboard an Excess 14.

Disputée depuis 13 ans au départ d’Athènes, la Catamaranscup a été imaginée par Ioannis Kourounis. Cet homme est tout sauf un inconnu dans le milieu du nautisme grec puisqu’il a fondé en 1992 la société de locations de bateaux Istion Yachting, devenue leader du marché dans le pays. Ioannis a été un des tous premiers à miser sur le catamaran de croisière. C’est donc dès 2010 que ce visionnaire met en place une régate/flottille itinérante qui coïncide avec la fin de saison. Pour suivre cet événement qui a rassemblé pas mois de 34 catamarans et 300 équipiers (un record !), nous avons accompagné l’équipe Excess Catamarans à bord d’un Excess 14.
