Your Itinerary
Day 1 - Welcome aboard
Arrive and settle in. Our aim is to get out of the marina in the quickest time and find a nice anchorage for a late afternoon swim and a relaxing dinner on board
Day 2 - Heading South
After a leisurely breakfast we will head south down the Corfu channel toward Paxos, stopping in a bay en route for lunch and swim before heading to Paxos for the evening. Now the first big decision – where to moor? Lakka for the lovely bay, Gaios for a bit more buzz or (our favourite) Longos for a relaxed intimate feel. Either way head ashore for dinner in one of the many tavernas.
Day 3 - Beautiful Bays
Today you have the option to spend another day around Paxos, or a lovely option is to make the short trip to the sister Island of Anti-Paxos – there are no villages or ports but some of the most beautiful bays in the Med (most of the photos on the website were taken there). Spend a morning and early afternoon there and then when the wind comes in after lunch, do the short hop to the mainland and a night at anchor in Two Rock Bay or if this is a bit quiet go ashore at picture-postcard Parga.
Day 4 - The Southern Ionian
Life is developing a bit of a pattern now, a quiet morning with swimming, paddle-boarding and maybe some watersports (ringo, water-skiing or if there are any youngsters onboard it will be nothing but wakeboarding). Then a lazy lunch and with the afternoon wind head south in time for the swing bridge that opens up the Levkas Canal and the entrance to the southern Ionian islands. For a bustling town we stop at Levkas but just an hour further on there are some lovely bays on Meganissi. Dinner on board, or stroll into Vathi for the best “gyros” in the the Ionian…
Day 5 - Ithaca
Only a short distance today so no hurry to get going. The end-point is probably the prettiest village in the south, Kioni on Ithaca, but on the way a lunch stop at the spectacular Afales Bay or the caves on the west side of Meganissi. Then into the village for dinner but only after a visit to the bar that serves the best espresso martini this side of Athens…
Day 6 - Private Bays and Fiskardo
It’s the last full day and it couldn’t be better. A lazy start from Kioni to one of our secret private bays and then around the northern tip of Ithaca and into Fiscardo, the most cosmopolitan of the Ionian villages. It will be super-yacht central and time to do some people watching and break out the smart togs for an evening ashore. Of course we will moor away from the crowds and your skipper will escort you to your dinner table by speed-boat just in case anyone is watching.
Day 7 - Bon Voyage
Finally it is time to say good bye and our driver will take you to the airport, or perhaps you have booked a few extra days on Kefalonia before you head home.
