INTRODUCTION

Have you ever fancied having a holiday in a different format, let’s say, on a yacht? A week in Greece spent on a sailing boat is your opportunity to see this picturesque country from “on board” perspective, discover its secluded bays, meander on its islands and meet new friends.

Explore the amazing Ionian Islands with us and see for yourself how they stand out from the rest of the Greek isles scattered around the mainland Greece. Marvel at the lush green landscapes typical of this area. Follow the traces of different cultures, which once dominated these islands, in architecture, cuisine and music.

South ionian Ports and islands

Lefkas (lefkada)


The only island connected to the mainland with a bridge. It is particularly famous thanks to the transport tycoon Aristotle Onassis who had his private island to the east of Lefkas. The tranquil and village-like town of Lefkas with narrow streets is full of wooden and brightly painted houses. Great beaches with sheltered bays make it an attractive holiday destination. The 800 m long Porto Katsiki beach with dramatic cliffs hanging over it is the island's top attraction.

fiskardo on kefalonia


A former fishing village situated in the northern part of Kefalonia. Fiskardo attracts visitors with its 18-century architecture which, luckily, was not affected that much by the 1953 earthquake. Known as the St. Tropez of Greece, the place can be called glamorous, as it is popular with celebrities. The fact that this village was visited by such stars as Demi Moore and Jon Bon Jovi speaks for itself! The local harbor is always full of luxurious yachts. Pretty beaches are only a walk away from the port.

vathi on ithaca


The sheltered harbour of Vathi, the capital of Ithaka with picturesque red-roofed architecture, lies at the end of a deep and closed bay. The beauty of the island is undeniable and makes a stay in the village unforgettable to any visitor. It is not surprising why Homer’s hero, King Odysseus, never stopped searching for his country having seen so many beautiful places away from home.

kioni on ithaca


One of the most beautiful villages on Ithaka. It offers lovely views, well-preserved architecture and local taverns adjoining the port. Enjoy unspoilt beauty, peace and quiet of the village that has preserved charm of the "old" Greece.

kalamos


A mountainous island. Wandering through Kalamos you might get an impression that you are carried back in time when you see remnants of windmills, very old houses and walk along the narrow streets of the town. The place is really tiny with only a few hundreds of inhabitants.

meganisi


Although its name means “Mega-island”, it is a small and peaceful islet. An ideal destination for relaxing strolling. If you are more energetic, you can walk along one of the walking paths or cycle. There are three villages and three nice bays on the north side of the island. Sea caves and amazing beaches make Meganisi worth visiting.
