Itinerary

Check-in is at 17:00, while the actual embarkation is at 10:00 the following day, on Sunday.


On the first day, we meet onboard and get to know eachother. We then have our complimentary Welcome dinner, as we get comfortable onboard our "Home" for the next few days.


While docked in Zante, you will have plenty of time to walk around the Town, sit at some local restaurant or bar and simply take in the Ionian breeze!


Please note: In case all supposed passengers are onboard, prior to 17:00 on Saturday, we will most probably embark to Agios Nikoalos, instead of remaining docked at Zante during the day.

On day two, we will be heading to Kefalonia’s Agia Efimia, which is a traditional fishing village centered on a small harbor.


It contains a number of taverns, bars and shops, a traditional wood-fired bakery, as well as tourist accommodations and local residences.


In the evening, stroll through this beautiful, picturesque village and take your pick of Greek eats, from the idyllic tavern-lined promenade, where you can watch the sunset while enjoying your traditional Greek dinner!

On the third day, we cruise to Fiskardo!


With white pebble beaches, striking blue seas and its lush green countryside, Fiskardo is one of Greece’s best-kept secrets.


You can easily explore this town with a rental bike/car, bicycle or even on foot!


Watch the fisherman go about their work, from one of the seafront cafes, before enjoying some of the best seafood at one of the excellent local taverns, that stock the best catch of the day, the Island has to offer!

On day four, we leave Fiskardo behind and set off to Nydri, a gem often overshadowed by the prominence of its main Island, Lefkada.


After admiring the coastal wonders of Nydri from upclose and after a couple of swim stops, we will look for some secluded cove to anchor at.


Nydri, though sometimes hidden, unveils its beauty, inviting us to revel in its serene allure.

On the fifth day, we leave Kefalonia and head to Meganisi.


After we have our breakfast, we will enjoy our lunch onboard as usual, and we will look specifically for coastal relaxation at some of Meganisi's many secluded coves, to anchor there and enjoy the beautiful night sky!


Watch the fisherman go about their work, from one of the seafront cafes, before enjoying some of the best seafood at one of the excellent local taverns, that stock the best catch of the day, the Island has to offer!

On the sixth day, our journey unfolds as we bid farewell to Meganisi. Our destination? Captivating Ithaca. 


However, as we make our way to this legendary island, we'll indulge in a refreshing swim stop at the hidden oasis of Atokos, enhancing our journey with a touch of aquatic delight.


After a satisfying breakfast, we set sail, relishing lunch onboard amidst the boundless blue. As we navigate the Ionian Sea, we'll cruise towards Atokos for an invigorating swim in its pristine waters. This uninhabited gem, with its secluded coves and untouched beauty, offers the perfect interlude.


Following our swim stop, we continue our course toward Ithaca, the main highlight of our day. The enchantment of Ithaca awaits, but not before Atokos bestows upon us a moment of aquatic serenity, making our voyage a harmonious blend of exploration and relaxation.

Before we head back to Zante, we will visit the beautiful Shipwreck Beach and village on the east coast of the island (Depending on the availability), enjoying an onboard lunch on the way, for some final sweeping sea views!


We spend the night in the Marina of Zante's main Port, where we enjoy our Captain’s dinner!

As we have successfully cruised around Zante, this is our final/departure day..


After we enjoy our last onboard breakfast, we say goodbye to each other, take some last photos and head back to our daily lifes!


Hopefully, though, we will see each other again. 


Until then, we wish you all the best!
