Sailing cruise
Southern Ionian Greece
The Ionian Islands are a group of islands located in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece and south of western Greece. This archipelago is mainly composed of seven main islands, each with its own unique characteristics: Corfu, Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkas, Skorpio, Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Atoko, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Kitira.
Due to their distance, the itinerary will not be able to include them all, therefore for our cruises we have chosen the area richest in islands where the weather and sea conditions are more favorable allowing for short and peaceful journeys.
The embarkation and disembarkation port is in Lefkas and the islands present in the cruise itinerary are:
Lefkas, Meganissi, Kalamos, Kastos, Atoko, Ithaca and Kefalonia.
Longer cruises can also include Zakynthos which, due to the distance from the port of departure and its conformation which exposes all the beaches to the West and therefore to the wind and the sea, will be reached at the discretion of the skipper after careful evaluation of the weather conditions and of the sea.
The itinerary may be subject to change based on weather, safety and weather conditions
technical evaluations by the skipper. This program is intended as indicative and non-binding.

Lefkas
Lefkas or Lefkada is an island connected to the mainland by a mobile bridge that opens the first 5 minutes of every hour. The island is renowned for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters. The main town, Lefkada Town, is picturesque and offers a relaxed atmosphere.
After sailing along the canal, you reach the city of Lefkada, very picturesque and lively. You moor in the nearby modern and comfortable marina, or for free transit in the heart of the town. Don't miss the spectacular beaches of the west coast: Milos famous for kitesurfing, Kathisma, Egremni, Megali Petra and Porto Katsiki with the Jump of Sappho which takes its name from the ancient poetess who met her death there by falling from the rocks overlooking the sea . Lefkas and the mainland coast delimit the inland sea where we will sail towards Meganisi, Skorpios (the island of Onassis), Atoko, Kalamos and Kastos.
Itaca
Ithaca is best known for being the home of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's Odyssey.
The island is mountainous and covered in olive groves, offering fascinating landscapes and a peaceful atmosphere.
The beaches of Ithaca are small and stony, the water touched by centenary olive trees and cypresses is of a crystalline purity, perfect for taking many long swims.
Good moorings are Frikes and Kioni, picturesque villages with many seaside taverns typical of Ionian Greece.
