Blue voyage Greece: mini-cruise Ionian Islands

For the first day, as it is the arrival day, we won’t embark from the port, at least not until 17:00h (30-45 min arrival before is recommended), thus in case you have arrived prior to the embarkation and have some time left, we suggest you roam around Zante’s main port and enjoy some local Greek seafood, by one of the many local restaurants, located on the marina! If you have plenty of time, be sure to check out on your own some sightseeing spots: the Byzantine Museum, as well, which is in in the heart of Zante’s main town, the national Marine Park and the famous Lagana Bay strip! In the evening, get to know your fellow travelers, 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 which is Agios Nikolaos.

On day two, we will be heading to Kefalonia’s Agia Efimia, which is a traditional fishing village centered on a small harbor. It contains several of taverns, bars and shops, a traditional wood-fired bakery, as well as tourist accommodations and local residences. In the evening, stroll through this beautiful, picturesque village and take your pick of Greek eats (not included), from the idyllic tavern-lined promenade, where you can watch the sunset while enjoying your traditional Greek food!

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 individually, which are packed with Greek products/foods, souvenirs, and other “goodies”! Laying in between Kefalonia, and Meganissi, Lefkada offers a unique combination, of crystal-clear waters and dark green forest scenery! Breakfast, lunch on board.

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!

Breakfast, lunch on board.

On day six, we leave Meganisi behind and we will sail to Ithaca, which many people do not know about, as this beautiful Island is often “overshadowed” by its complex main Island, 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, as usual and we will look specifically for coastal relaxation at some of its many secluded bay coves, to anchor there and enjoy the beautiful Greek night sky! Breakfast, lunch on board.

Before we head back to Zante, we will enjoy a refreshing swim stop in one of the island’s stunning bays, soaking up the crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery. Onboard, we’ll savor a delicious lunch while taking in the final unforgettable sea views of the day. In the evening, we’ll dock at the Marina of Zante Old Town, where we’ll come together for a special Captain’s dinner. A perfect way to celebrate and say farewell to an incredible journey. Breakfast, lunch on board.

This island boasts a rich cultural heritage that has been influenced by various civilizations over the centuries. A blend of traditional Greek and Venetian architecture embellishes cobblestone streets making exploration a piece of cake.
