EXPERIENCE ANOTHER WORLD

In the wake of King Conquerors and Pirates.

The Island Hoppers Mediterranean Series promises to deliver a visual feast of rarely seen ports and coastlines, informative and creative narrative and deeply rich, but often humorous commentary from the crew as they sail more than 10,000 Kilometres around the Mediterranean.

Experience the world from a new perspective and follow the Island Hoppers crew to often unseen locations throughout Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy and finally Malta.

This website will be regularly updated with information, images, crew commentary and video from each destination.

THE JOURNEY

CROATIA

One reason why the Croatian coastline is so beautiful is that it contains more than 1000 dazzling islands.

If you were to look out to sea from anywhere along the Croatian coastline, it would be unusual for you not to see a green speck in the distance. ..More

MONTENEGRO

Although there are no islands, the coastline of Montenegro is dotted with historic and quaint ports that is especially well known for its religious monuments and medieval monasteries.

Montenegro's monasteries contain thousands of square metres of frescos on their walls.

The traditional folk dance of the Montenegrins is the Oro, a circle dance that involves dancers standing on each other's shoulders in a circle while one or two dancers are dancing in the middle. ..More

ALBANIA

As Albania's only island, Sazan is a small island located at the entrance to the Bay of Vlora. It has an area of 5 km² and has no population. It is a military facility and sometimes can be seen by eye from Salento's coasts in Italy's south east peninsula.

The crew will be on a race against time to reach Greece and will only visit Albania briefly. ..More

GREECE

The Greek territory comprises approx 6,000 islands and islets scattered throughout the Aegean and Ionian Seas, and is a truly unique phenomenon on the European continent. Of these islands only 227 are inhabited. ..More

TURKEY

The Turkish islands and coastline are enchanted with calm waters that are ideal for relaxing sailing and nothing on the agenda but swimming, sunbathing, eating and hopping ashore for a spot of sight-seeing.

Although much of the coast has been invaded by package tourists, there are still many unspoilt areas with ruins from ancient civilisations and a more peaceful way of life.  ..More

CYPRUS

Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and is located in the northeastern area of the Mediterranean Sea.

Cyprus is an island steeped in history and has a rich cultural heritage. Visitors and tourists that travel to Cyprus have an overwhelming choice of ancient monuments and archaeological sites to visit. ..More

ISRAEL

The coast of Israel is one surprise after another. From Acre (Akka) to Haifa, Tel Aviv and the ancient seaport of Ashkelon, Israel is an intriguing contrast of ancient architecture and sophisticated and modern seaside towns and cities.   ..More
