Zante - Agios Nikolaos (Saturday)
Zakynthos Town (Zante)
As this is arrival day, we do not leave port before 17:00. If you arrive earlier and have time to spare, wander around Zante's main port and enjoy some local Greek seafood at one of the many restaurants on the marina. With more time, visit the Byzantine Museum in the heart of Zante town, the National Marine Park and the famous Laganas Bay strip. In the evening, get to know your fellow travellers over our welcome dinner on board. If every guest is on board by 17:00 and the weather allows, we may sail to our first stop, Agios Nikolaos, the same evening; with late arrivals we overnight in Zante's main port.
Agios Nikolaos - Agia Efimia (Sunday)
Agios Nikolaos Harbour, Zakynthos
On day two we head for Agia Efimia on Kefalonia, a traditional fishing village centred on a small harbour, with a swim stop at Antisamos on the way. The village has a number of tavernas, bars and shops, a traditional wood-fired bakery, guesthouses and local homes. In the evening, stroll through this picturesque village and take your pick of Greek dishes on the idyllic taverna-lined promenade, watching the sunset over your meal.
Fiskardo (Monday)
Fiskardo, Kefalonia
With plenty of secluded bays and scattered sea caves with shallow waters, this part of Kefalonia is every explorer's dream. Enjoy lunch on board while we sail towards bustling Fiskardo, the most iconic village in Kefalonia. Visit pebbled Antisamos beach and sandy Harami beach and admire Greek nature from up close. Full of bars and tavernas, Fiskardo is the epitome of old-school Greek charm.
Lefkada (Nidri) (Tuesday)
Nidri Bay, Lefkada
On day four we sail to Lefkada — to Nidri, its most famous port — with a swim in Sivota Bay on the way. In Nidri you can explore the well-known local markets, packed with Greek products and foods, souvenirs and other goodies. Lying between Kefalonia and Meganisi, Lefkada offers a unique combination of crystal-clear waters and dark green forest scenery.
Meganisi (Wednesday)
Meganisi – Spilia Harbour
With white pebble beaches, striking blue seas and lush green countryside, Meganisi is one of Greece's best-kept secrets. On the fifth day we sail there, with a swim stop off Skorpios Island. The village is easy to explore by rental car, by bicycle or even on foot. Watch the fishermen at work from one of the seafront cafés before enjoying some of the best seafood around at one of the excellent local tavernas, which serve the island's catch of the day.
Ithaca (with Atakos stop) (Thursday)
Ithaca – Vathy Bay
On day six we leave Meganisi behind and sail to Ithaca, an island many people overlook because it is overshadowed by its larger neighbour, Kefalonia. On the way we may stop at Atokos, a privately owned island where wild pigs roam freely. We have lunch on board as usual, swim at Frikes and look for one of Ithaca's many secluded coves to anchor in and enjoy the beautiful Greek night sky.
Zante (Friday)
Zakynthos Town (Zante)
Before heading back to Zante we enjoy a refreshing swim stop in one of the island's stunning bays, soaking up the crystal-clear water and the scenery, and savour lunch on board with the last sea views of the trip. In the evening we dock at the Marina of Zante Old Town and come together for a special Captain's dinner — the perfect way to celebrate and say farewell to an incredible journey.
Departure (Saturday)
Having cruised around Zante and its island complex, this is departure day. Check-out is at 9:00 after breakfast: we say goodbye to each other, take a few last photos and head home — hopefully to see you again.
