Take a relaxing sailing trip through some of the most beautiful Greek islands in the Ionian Sea. On this eight-day trip from Kefalonia to Corfu, you’ll journey to some secluded coastlines, private islands, rolling hills and orchards, Venetian architecture, warm and inviting tavernas and some of the world’s most transparent waters. Each day, swim in secluded bays, watch the sunset on the deck of your group’s sailing boat and spend the night on the town, exploring everything these islands offer. Explore Atokos, Kastos, Kalamos, Ithaca, Meganisi, Lefkadas, Paxos and Antipaxos, and their winding shores, white sands, comfortable beaches and coves that are only seen by boat.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

START TIME:
This trip starts on Day 1 in Kefalonia at 4pm and finishes in Corfu on the morning of Day 8 depending on weather conditions.

ACCOMMODATION ON BOARD THE YACHT
This trip is accommodated entirely on board a yacht of 51.2ft. The yacht can accommodate up to 8 travellers in the following cabin types:
double bed cabins (x2)
twin bunk bed cabins (x2)
There are 4 shared bathrooms. Our boats are real yachts, and this is a real sailing trip. Yachts are designed to keep sleeping areas to the absolute minimum of space, while maximising common areas as much as possible. Everyone including the skipper shares the bathrooms on board.

Solo customers can book a twin bunk bed cabin and will be matched up with other solo customer of the same gender. If you’d prefer not to share a cabin, a single cabin supplement is available at an additional cost. Rooms are allocated on arrival by our skipper according to group composition, which means it is not possible to reserve or guarantee any specific berth. Double bed cabins can only be booked by 2 people travelling together or a solo customer who pays for a single supplement.

While not everyone may feel entirely comfortable living in such close quarters, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort from cramped living conditions is more than made up for by the whole experience.

Day 1: Kefalonia
Kalimera! Welcome to Greece. Your sailing adventure begins on the biggest and one of the most beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea – Kefalonia. Famous for its delicious wine – primarily Robola and Mavrodafni – Kefalonia is also home to a beautiful national park, white sand beaches and friendly locals. If you have the time, why not stay a few extra days and explore the island to its fullest or maybe visit Melissani Cave. You’ll have a welcome meeting at 4 pm this afternoon to meet your group and trip leader at Sami Port, at the Oasis Café. Head out for some food shopping after for some supplies. Tonight, you’ll head on a night out with your fellow travellers.
Days 2-3: Atokos, Kastos, Kalamos and Ithaca
This morning after breakfast, you’ll head towards Ithaca Island. On the way, stop for a swim at Filitro – one of the most popular beaches on the island due to its beauty. Sheltered from the wind, the gulf has turquoise waters and offers a perfect spot to relax and swim. Over the next two days, you’ll also explore the islands of Atokos, Kastos and Kalamos. Spend your days lounging on the boat’s deck, swimming in the clear waters, eating out at local tavernas and watching sunset on the deck or on the sands of a nearby beach.   Visit Ithaca – famously the homeland of Odysseus (Ulysses), the hero of the Homeric poem Odyssey. Surrounded by green vegetation, European architecture and the deep-blue sea, you’ll see why this place caused such inspiration. Over the next two days, you’ll explore the islands of Atokos, Kastos, and Kalamos. Spend your days lounging on the boat’s deck, swimming in the clear waters, eating out at local tavernas and watching sunset on the deck or on the sands of a nearby beach. Visit Atokos – one of the most secluded of the Echinades Islands, now a private island owned by the shipowner family of Panayiotis Tsakos. The tiny islet is uninhabited except for a few goats that roam freely. On the island, there is the small chapel of St. John and the beach at One House Bay. Atokos is inside a Natura 2000 protected area, and as such, the waters and surrounding environment are nothing short of stunning. Visit Kastos, where you’ll find peaceful beaches and a simple island lifestyle. Kastos is one of the smallest of the Ionian islands, with only a few hundred people living here, making it the perfect spot if you’re looking for some relaxation and peace. Lastly, visit Kalamos – a mountainous island, known for its green hills, clear blue waters and sandy beaches.
Day 4: Meganisi
This morning, you’ll head to Meganisi. Stop for a swim by the island before heading to the bays of Meganisi. This remote island is located between Lefkada and the Greek mainland. Untouched by mainstream tourism, it boasts crystalline waters and secluded coves that can only be reached by boat! Except for its two traditional villages and the small number of facilities they offer, the island is unspoiled. Take some time to explore the beautiful bays and then dock in one of the marinas. Tonight, maybe sit down for dinner at a local taverna with your group.
Day 5: Skorpios - Lefkada
You might want to get up early this morning to see the sunrise on the deck or take a quick dip before breakfast. Today, sail north passing Skorpios along the way. Primarily known as the private island of the late Greek shipping billionaire Aristotle Onassis, bought in 1963 for numerous high-profile parties. This was also the site of Onassis’s wedding to the former United States First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1968. Continue sailing north, passing through the north channel before docking in the beautiful marina of Lefkada. Featuring sheer cliffs and turquoise waters, this island’s busy streets are perfect for a beach day or night out on the town. Lefkada is also home to some dense forests and world-famous beaches, which you have undoubtedly seen photos of (spoiler alert – it’s better in real life!). You’ll wander the busy streets with your group, find some delicious Greek food to feast on and maybe grab a cocktail (or two), before spending the night on the boat.
Day 6: Antipaxos and Paxos
This morning, get an early start as you sail towards Paxos – the smallest of the Ionian islands – and Antipaxos – its sister island. Paxos is a unique blend of lush landscapes set in a bright blue sea. Two miles south, Antipaxos is a small island home to some of the finest beaches in the Ionian Sea with transparent ocean and white sands. Antipaxos doesn’t have its own permanent population, but many Paxiots own vineyards and cottages here. Stop for a refreshing swim in the glittering water before arriving in Gaios – the main port and the centre of life in Paxos. When you approach Gaios from the north, you’ll enter a beautiful river-like passing through the islands of Panagia, where you can see a monastery of the Virgin Mary and the pine-covered island of St. Nicholas with its 1423 Venetian castle hidden in the trees. Explore the village of Gaios and the coastline with your group tonight.
Day 8: Corfu
After breakfast this morning, disembark at Gouvia marina in Corfu and say goodbye to your skipper and fellow travellers. If you are flying out today, your trip leader can help you organise a taxi to the airport. If you would like to extend your stay, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
