About Our Service in the Ionian Islands
Departing from the beautifully protected Sivota Bay, your itinerary is designed for a seamless, relaxed, and culturally rich voyage. Enjoy the support of a professional crew, tailored service, and the freedom to immerse yourself in natural wonders, picturesque ports, and authentic Greek island living.
Day 1 (Saturday): Sivota – Fiscardo, Kefalonia (12 NM)
Step aboard in Sivota and set sail to Kefalonia’s famed harbor village, Fiscardo. With its chic cafés, pastel buildings, and warm hospitality, it’s a sailor’s paradise. Early arrival secures a berth, though anchoring just outside is equally idyllic and peaceful.
Day 2 (Sunday): Fiscardo – Afales Bay (Swim) – Kioni, Ithaka (10 NM)
Cruise eastward and pause for a swim in Afales or Foki Bay—each offering clear waters and dramatic coastal scenery. Continue to Kioni, a storybook village nestled into green hills, where tavernas line the waterfront and the anchorage invites a peaceful evening ashore.
Day 3 (Monday): Kioni – Vathy, Ithaka (6 NM)
Sail south along Ithaka’s coast to Vathy, the island’s lively yet laid-back capital. Take time to explore the town, provision at local markets, and enjoy fresh seafood at a harborside taverna. Vathy strikes a perfect balance between tradition and convenience.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Vathy – Sami, Kefalonia (16 NM)
Head back to Kefalonia, arriving at Sami—a quiet and scenic port ideal for inland discovery. Don’t miss the Melissani and Drogarati Caves—two natural wonders of the island. Arrange transport easily through your crew for a smooth and memorable inland tour.
Day 5 (Wednesday): Sami – Atokos – Kastos (25 NM)
Visit the untouched island of Atokos, anchoring at the pristine One House Bay for a swim in turquoise waters. Continue to Piscina Bay in Kastos, a secluded inlet perfect for snorkeling. Later, head to the island’s main village and enjoy dinner at Il Porto, famous for local tuna specialties.
Day 6 (Thursday): Kastos – Kalamos (Optional) – Vathy, Meganisi (17 NM)
Enjoy a scenic morning sail via Kalamos, a lesser-known gem, before docking at Meganisi’s Vathy port. The waterfront buzzes with sailors and locals, and Mika’s Tavern offers a cozy atmosphere for dinner. Arrive early to secure a berth or opt for nearby Port Atheni for peace and privacy.
Day 7 (Friday): Meganisi – Papanikolis Cave – Sivota (12 NM)
Spend your final day swimming at the awe-inspiring Papanikolis Cave and Zagana Cliff. As the sun dips, return to Sivota and toast the week’s adventures with a final dinner at a local favorite. Whether seafood at Captain Stavros or mountaintop dining at Rachi, your farewell will be unforgettable.
