Getting to Corfu is simple fly into its well-connected airport, or take a ferry from Igoumenitsa on the mainland or Saranda in Albania.

Check-in starts at 5pm. Step aboard your Sail In Greece boat, meet your Captain, crew and fellow shipmates, and enjoy a traditional Greek-style welcome dinner together

For our first evening, dive into the energy of Corfu Town by Greek coastal standards it’s a big one, with plenty of bars and nightclubs to kick off the adventure in style..

From a big island to a small one! After breakfast we sail to Paxos, with plenty of swim stops along the way to dive into those famous Ionian blues.

Today we cross to the Ionian mainland, with a refreshing swim stop to kick things off.

Our destination is Parga, often called one of the most beautiful villages in the Ionian. With its colorful streets, fortress views, beach bars and sunset spots, your evening here is bound to feel magical.

The route from Parga to Preveza is lined with endless beaches, and our Captain will handpick the best spot for a swim—plus another dreamy stop for lunch.

Once in Preveza, don’t miss the lively Saitan Bazaar (yes, it really means “Satan’s”!). 

This cobbled lane is filled with boutiques, barber shops and cafés—and of course, the town’s must-see ouzo distillery.

After breakfast and one last swim stop, we sail into Nydri, Lefkada’s most famous port.

Spend the afternoon exploring lively local markets brimming with traditional Greek products, then grab a table at a waterside taverna or cocktail bar before heading back on board for tonight’s dinner. 

And if you’re not done yet—there are plenty of spots to keep the night going after!

After breakfast we set sail for Kefalonia, breaking the journey with another refreshing swim in the Ionian’s crystal waters.

By afternoon we dock in Agia Effimia, a charming fishing village with a tiny harbor, cozy tavernas, laid-back bars, local shops and even a traditional wood-fired bakery.

As evening falls, stroll the waterfront promenade and watch the sunset with a cold Greek beer or a glass of ouzo in hand.

Next stop: Zakynthos (Zante). 

Tonight we’ll dock either in Agios Nikolaos or at the marina in Zakynthos Old Town.

If we end up in town, highlights include the Byzantine Museum, the National Marine Park, and the lively Laganas Bay strip.

After breakfast (around 8am), it’s time to check out and say farewell to your crew and shipmates.
