This experience, in a nutshell

Discover the full diversity of the Ionian Islands on this unique sailing trip from Corfu to Zakynthos in late July. From the lush green beauty of Corfu, through the hidden bays of Paxos and Antipaxos, past the mythical homeland of Odysseus on Ithaca, the picturesque Fiskardo on Kefalonia, all the way to the world-famous beaches of Zakynthos - this voyage strings together the pearls of the Ionian Sea.

Short daily legs leave plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling and enjoying life. Swim in turquoise waters in secluded anchorages, stroll through Venetian harbor villages, jump from the bathing platform into crystal-clear seas, and experience genuine Greek hospitality.

Our Hanse 575, is a true bluewater yacht - built for life and travel on the sea. She features 4 double cabins each with private bathroom, Starlink Wi-Fi, generator, washing machine, large solar panels, radar, AIS, watermaker, hydraulic bathing platform and tender with outboard engine.

We sail together, learn from each other, and enjoy the freedom on the water. This is not a cruise - it is real community, authentic experiences, and the magic of the sea. You are welcome to participate in all activities on board - navigation, steering, cooking and boat technology.

Our itinerary

Our adventure begins at Gouvia Marina on Corfu with boarding, introductions and safety briefing. From Corfu we sail south to Paxos and Antipaxos - a paradise of olive groves, sheltered harbors and crystal-clear waters in every shade of blue and turquoise. From there our route continues south into the central Ionian island world. The small islands of Meganisi and Kalamos surprise with untouched bays and fjords where pine trees reach down to the water. Ithaca - home of Odysseus - welcomes us with the picturesque harbor town of Kioni and the deep bay of Vathy. A highlight of every Ionian journey is Fiskardo on Kefalonia - the pearl among Ionian harbors, the only village spared by the 1953 earthquake, still enchanting with its colorful shutters and Venetian houses. The final leg takes us to Zakynthos with its world-famous Navagio Beach, the Blue Caves in the north, and the vibrant harbor town. Which ports and bays we visit and how long we stay is decided by wind, weather and crew together.
