One of our most desirable tours up to date is in St Gilgen, Austria. A lovely small town on the shores of Lake Wolfgang, friendly rowing club and a lakefront hotel with private swimming area. The boathouse is 10min walk away and we enjoy some guided sightseeing in the afternoons and some free time too to relax and take in all the beauty and charm of this lovely place. Registration is open and more information is available on our website.

We are going back to Turkiye in March 2024!!! Join us on this beautiful adventure that takes us to Ayvalik and Cunda Island, situated on the coast of the Aegean Sea.

Completely off the beaten path, you will find no tourists there especially in the Spring when we are going.

We row daily (for about 1.5hrs per session) in a beautiful bay using mostly coastal boats. Coaching is provided by Iva and cosch Grisha. Beginner rowers are welcome to attend and non rowing companions can enjoy some kayaking and/or paddle boarding.

Opportunities for twice a day rowing sessions available on some of the days, but the chances are you would prefer to attend out post rowing activities we have planned for you Instead :)

More about those in our next post!

"In life it's not about where yu you go, it's who you travel with."
..So, Instead of rowing today we went on a different kind of boat and visited the nearby island of Solta.

Many thanks to Duje from Bonaca Tours who surpassed all expectations and the wonderful family
behind Marinac Winery who opened their doors for us today.

Our hearts are full.

Moments in Zadar.

Today's rowing highlight was launching from a dock that was submerged under water...took a an extra dose of patience and caution but we were able to get and row :)

A free afternoon followed where some of us went swimming and occasionally posing for pictures.

Many thanks to for arranging the rowing for us in her beautiful home town Rovinj!!!

09/27/2023

8 years ago test tour of Lake Bled and Coastal Croatia with the help of who properly broke her arm days before the trip, so we had to row a pair instead of a double.

This was the start of the Croatia Rowing Tour + Lake Bled, which I am about to offer for 5th and last time, but also the first tour I offered outside of my native Bulgaria, which gave me the confidence to expand the practice in other countries...and what a fantastic journey that has been!

08/11/2023

This will be us 6 weeks or so from today in Croatia :)

Many thanks to for the awesome pictures and incredible excursion offer.

Our final sightseeing activity in Austria was a visit to the UNESCO protected oldest Salt Mines in the World situated right above Hallstatt, a lovely small town, with a permanent spot in any "Most Beautiful Small Towns of the World" publication I've come across. We enjoyed a guided walk around town and a beautiful last group dinner by the lake.

07/09/2023

Visit to the largest Ice Caves in the world, just over an hour drive from St Gilgen. Stunning scenery on the way up. The bus could only go to a certain point, so from there we hiked up about 20min, then went on a lift for a few minutes, and again a 20min hike to get to the caves. 700 steps (stairs) to inside and about 1km walk around the cave with a guide highlighting some of the more significant spots in relative darkness, with the guide and every 4th or 5th person carrying a lantern. It felt somewhat challenging and very much adventurous to cover that ground. This after a morning of rowing of course :) Definitely a keep for our next tour here!

07/08/2023

Our rowing tour in Austria is nearly completed. With 11 participants I get a lot more photos to share :) St Gilgen, you've been magical!!!

07/06/2023

This trip has been a reunion of sorts. Most of the participants I know from previous pre-COVID trips. Some know each other too. Grateful to have so many returning rowers and also very happy to have coach Grisha with us again :)

07/04/2023

Post rowing activities today included a spontaneous stretching session by the water followed by some lounging around and swimming of course.

A bit later we met a wonderful guide named Sissy for a walking tour of Salzburg, followed by dinner at the Blue Goose, a top notch restaurant in the center of Salzburg.

It was truly a marvelous day filled with planned and unplanned activities and everyone was happy.

Tomorrow we try the 8x!!!! Someone clear the lake, please 😂

07/04/2023

In good company.

07/03/2023

Water is my charging station. This lake is pulling me like a magnet, I may just have to move here for the summer ;)

07/03/2023

Went for a motor boat ride today with coach Pete, who had a private lesson with a new client, first time on the water.

Observing him teach reminded me of what an art form it is to communicate the complicated simplicity of rowing to beginners (and also to more advanced rowers).

Despite coming from different backgrounds I found our coaching styles to be quite similar and I feel very fortunate to have connected with him 4 years ago when I came to St Gilgen to see if I can organize a rowing trip here.

Now onward to our rowing tour, participants arrive in a couple of hours.

07/02/2023

The Bulgarians save the day!!!!

After a restaurant I selected for our first group dinner in St Gilgen tomorrow failed my expectations in a big way, it was the most unexpected surprise to stumble into Restaurant Radetzky in St Gilgen, owned by a very kind and welcoming Bulgarian family.

Thank you Georgia and Nadia for a lovely dinner and your willingness to accommodate my group tomorrow on a short notice!

07/02/2023

I just arrived in St Gilgen, Austria for our next rowing tour starting tomorrow. Loving the smallness of this picturesque town, the lake view from our rooms, the birds singing in the morning and the fresh air...
Rowing starts in 2 days :)

Second and last day of rowing in Palermo for our test trip. We joined a few other boats for this row, longer than we had done yesterday. Great time just rowing steady and admiring the views :)

Met some of the wonderful club members who invited us for coffee and donuts after the row. Great time was had and can't wait to come back again.

Big thanks to Marco for helping us set up this experience and Elena for her support during the visit. Also we would have been quite lost in translation if it wasn't for Madalena, Vincenzo, Pamela and a couple of other club members who helped us all understand each other :) Thank you all for your kind spirits and generosity! Until we meet again...

05/07/2023

One of the highlights of our walking tour in Palermo was actually getting to the place we were supposed to meet our guide.

Turning one street too early (courtesy of yours truly) took us on a path of narrow streets, frequent turns and occasional confusion with the GPS navigation.

Meanwhile, the shortest and most simple route was a block away...Literally, we had to make one turn to end up on the main pedestrian street that would lead us to the location and 25min instead of the 45min that it took.

But that's what test tours are for after all :)
