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.

accommodation:Overnight boat

day 2 - Ithaca, Atokos, Kastos and Kalamos

This morning after breakfast, you’ll head towards Ithaca Island. On the way, stop for a swim at Filiatro – 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. 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.

accommodation:Overnight boat

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.

accommodation:Overnight 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.

accommodation:Overnight boat

day 7 - Paxos – Corfu

Enjoy breakfast on the boat this morning, then set sail to the other most beautiful island in the Ionian belt – Corfu. Flanked by two imposing Venetian fortresses, Corfu’s town features winding medieval lanes, a French-style arcade and the grand Palace of St. Michael and St. George. When you arrive, you might like to swim and then walk the winding streets to see all the town's Venetian influences. Liston is one of the most popular pedestrian streets on the island and a perfect meeting place for tourists, right next to the famous Spaniada Square. Maybe stop for a Greek coffee and some people-watching among the great seaside atmosphere. Tonight, enjoy your final night out and a farewell dinner with your group.

accommodation:Overnight boat

day 8 - Corfu
