Brief description of the holiday
The Ionian Islands are an emerald scattering of seven main islands
–, Ithaca, Corfu, Kefalonia, Lefkada, Paxos and Kythira –
found off the west coast of mainland Greece. The region is famed
for pristine beaches, the unforgettable blue of the sea, and the
lush Mediterranean landscape. Several lesser-known smaller islands
make up this paradise cluster.
A beautiful motorised ocean vessel that can accommodate up to 25
passengers with 9 cabins operates the Ionian Cruise. We will
spend a week at sea, exploring the very best of this island cluster
paradise, stopping in Sivota, Parga, Antipaxos, Gaios and
Lakka in a round trip from Corfu. Our Ionian Cruise
operates with multiple boats based on departure dates and
seasonality.
Day 1: Corfu - Kassiopi
As today is the arrival day and we don’t set sail from the Old Port
(NAOK marina) until after sunset, you have plenty of time to
explore the wonders of Corfu Island.
The UNESCO World Heritage town of Kerkyra (Corfu Old Town) is full
of cultural heritage from its days under Venetian, French and
British rule. From architecture to traditions, towering fortresses
to the narrow medieval streets, you can feel the multi-layers of
Corfu island history. If you have time to see more of the island,
don’t miss the chance to explore the fishing village of Agni Bay,
the dramatic cliff drops of Cape Drastis, the picturesque channel
of the Canal d’Amour and the tucked-away community of
Palaiokastritsa.
In the evening, we get acquainted with our sailing home for the
next few days and get settled in, starting by dining with a view of
the ocean as we set sail towards Kassiopi.
Note: On the rare occasion of any issues that may result from late
arrivals, there is a possibility that we do not depart Corfu on
Monday evening, and instead set sail on Tuesday morning.
Day 2: Sivota - Mourtos
The rainfall on the Ionian Islands is what enables its lush and
verdant landscapes to flourish. Think of thick forests, natural
coves, green hills with olive groves, and ardent valleys that sit
back-to-back with crystal clear waters and sparkling white beaches.
You can find this in the Mourtos and Sivota Islands, south of
Corfu, where we sail and stop to marvel at some of the island best
natural highlights. This includes the striking Papanikolis Cave and
the famed Blue Lagoon Bay, where you can swim in the iridescent
blue waters. In the evening, stroll the traditional Marina village
and take your pick of Greek eats from the idyllic tavern-lined
promenade, where you can watch the sunset.
Day 3: Parga
Nestled on the Ionian coastline of the Greece Mainland, Parga has
been described as one of the region’s most beautiful villages. This
is because of its two crystal clear bays that line either side of
its main town and the iconic Venetian fortress that forms an
impressive backdrop. Known for its stunning natural environment
that gives it an island feel, there are plenty of beachside
hangouts and watersports to enjoy the coastline views, especially
in the large bay west of Parga town. We will have lunch onboard,
but stay in town for an evening of Greek feasting and hospitality.
Note: If the vessel manages to dock in the port, you will not need
to use a water taxi. However, if you need one, the cost of the
Water Taxi is not included in the overall price package.
Day 4: Antipaxos
Not many people know of Antipaxos, overshadowed by the main island
of Paxos, but you will be glad you got to experience this
lesser-known beauty spot. First, we fuel up with a lunch before
stopping for some coastal relaxation time at some of the islands
secluded, tranquil bays that are home to the beaches of Voutoumi
and Vrika. Go snorkelling in the turquoise waters, feel the pebbles
under your feet, take a walk amongst the clifftop surroundings and
visit one of the three main towns – Gaios, Loggos and Lakka. We
will dine at a pop-up beach tavern in a secluded bay tucked away
from the crowds, and later watch the stars from the deck of the
yacht.
Day 5: Gaios - Paxos
With white pebble beaches, striking blue seas and lush green
countryside, Paxos is one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. We will
dock at the port of Gaios ready for a full day on the island. You
can easily explore with a motorcycle, although it’s also easy by
foot, bike or car too. Spend the day seeking out the secluded coves
and bays for swimming, enjoy the Venetian architecture of Gaios
town or sample the world-renowned olive oil from the surrounding
groves. Watch the fisherman go about their work from one of the
seafront cafes, before enjoying some of the best and freshest
seafood at one of the excellent local tavernas that stock the best
catch of the day.
Day 6: Lakka - Paxos
Dotted with secluded bays and sea caves, with shallow waters for
those keen to explore the underworld of the Ionian Sea, this part
of Paxos Island is an explorer’s dream. Enjoy lunch on the vessel
while we sail towards bustling Lakka, the second largest village on
the island set in a horseshoe bay to a backdrop of olive and
cypresses trees. Visit the pebbled Kanoni beach and sandy Harami
beach and wander amongst nature. Later, stroll the vibrant
promenade along the seafront. Full of bars and tavernas Lakka is
the epitome of old school Greek charm. We will dock overnight at a
picturesque bay here. Note: The vessel cannot dock in the marina in
this area. .
Day 7: Corfu
Before we head back to the mainland of Corfu Island, with free time
to explore, we take the chance to fit in one more of Corfu’s long
sandy beaches. We visit the beautiful Benitses 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 Corfu Old Town, where we enjoy an optional traditional dinner
with the group in our final farewell party.
Day 8: Departure Day
As we come back in full circle to Corfu, this is our departure day,
where you’ll say goodbye to your new friends and your crew.
Hopefully, we have inspired you with this Greece sailing trip and
hope to see you next year for more sailing around the Greek
islands.
