The first day is the day of embarkation. We will be on the Island of Kefalonia. You can board from 3pm. We will sleep in the port or anchorage area where we are and we will decide the plan for the next day among the whole group.
The first days will be to familiarize ourselves with the ship, with navigation and life on board, and to visit some of the Greek Islands in the Ionian Sea.
We will sail through the islands of Kefalonia and Ithaca, and at the end of the trip we will take a journey that will take us to the Italian island of Sicily.
We will cross to Sicily according to the weather forecast. At the beginning of the trip, we will study the weather and see which are the best days to cross and make the journey.
Trip Highlights:
*Island of Kefalonia: enjoy days at sea and in its incredible turquoise blue waters, stroll through its coastal towns, visit castles, lighthouses and monasteries. Enjoy the best views of the islands from the highest point, at 1628m in the Ainos National Park. Take an excursion to its inland towns to immerse yourself in the most rural life, or visit the Melissani cave lake.
*Ithaca Island: the mythical island of Ulysses. It offers hiking trails and wonderful beaches, some of them only accessible by sea. It is worth a visit to Ithaca for all its surroundings and its incredible landscapes.
