Itinerary

Day 1:   ZAKYNTHOS

Embarkation in Zante’s main port. Embarkation begins at 17:00hrs. If you have some free time, we suggest you roam around Zante’s main port and enjoy some local Greek seafood at one of the many local restaurants located on the marina. In the evening, get to know your fellow travellers while we have our welcome dinner, on board!
Note: In case that all our guests are on board by 17:00 and weather conditions allow us to, we might cruise towards our 1st destination.

Day 2:   ZAKYNTHOS – KEFALONIA (AGIA ETHIMIA)

On day two, we will be heading to Kefalonia’s Agia Efimia which is a traditional fishing village centred on a small harbor. It contains a few taverns, bars and shops, a traditional wood-fired bakery, as well as tourist accommodation 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 food. (B, L)

Day 3:   KEFALONIA (FISKARDO)

With plenty of secluded bays and scattered sea caves with shallow waters, this part of Kefalonia is every explorer’s dream. Enjoy your lunch on the vessel while we sail towards bustling Fiskardo, the most iconic village in Kefalonia. Visit the pebbled Antisamos beach and sandy Harami beach while admiring Greek nature from up close. Full of bars and tavernas, Fiskardo is the epitome of old-school Greek charm. (B, L)

Day 4:   KEFALONIA – LEFKADA

On day 4 we will head to Lefkada and Nidri specifically, which is Lefkada’s most famous port. While in Nidri you will have the chance to explore its famous local markets which are packed with Greek products/foods, souvenirs, and other “goodies”. Laying in between Kefalonia and Meganisi, Lefkada offers a unique combination of crystal-clear waters and dark green forest scenery. (B, L)

Day 5:   LEFKADA – MEGANISI

With white pebble beaches, striking blue seas and its lush green countryside, Meganisi is one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. On the fifth day, we sail to Meganisi. 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 that the Island has to offer. (B, L)

Day 6:   MEGANISI – ATOKOS – ITHACA

On day six, we leave Meganisi behind and we will sail to Ithaca which many people do not know about. This beautiful Island is often overshadowed by the popular island of Kefalonia. On the way to Ithaca, we might stop to Atokos Island, a private inhabited island where wild pigs live freely on the island. That said, we will enjoy our lunch onboard and we will look specifically for coastal relaxation at some of its many secluded bay coves to anchor and enjoy the beautiful Greek night sky. (B, L)

Day 7:   ITHACA – ZAKYNTHOS

Before we head back to Zakynthos, we might visit the beautiful Shipwreck Beach and village on the east coast of the island, enjoying an onboard lunch on the way for some final sweeping sea views. We spend the night in the Marina of Zakynthos Old Town, where we enjoy a Captain’s dinner with the group in our final farewell. (B, L, D)

Time to say goodbye to your new friends. Disembark before 09:00am. End of our services. (B)
