Description
Seamless Departure from Gaios-Paxos
At Gaios-Paxos Marina you board to a yacht already prepared for your preferences—fridge stocked, snorkel kits sized, SUPs secured. Your captain reviews the plan over coffee, then guides you through sheltered waters to begin a south-then-north arc of the central Ionian. From iconic Antipaxos blues to mainland towns rich with history, this week balances navigation, gastronomy and beach-time in equal measure.
About Our Service in Paxos, Mainland Epirus & Lefkas
With a professional skipper you gain a confident hand on the helm and an insider’s list of swim coves, bakery stops, and sunset tables. Passage timings follow the breeze, and every anchorage is chosen to be calm and scenic so evenings unfold unhurried.
Day 1 - Gaios → Antipaxos An hour’s sail feels like a teleport into the South Pacific—Voutoumi’s neon water and shining sand shelves. Spend the day rotating between mask, paddleboard and paperback. Overnight at a quiet hook under a quilt of stars.
Day 2 - Antipaxos → Parga A 4.5-hour leg lands you at the mainland jewel of Parga. Stroll beneath the Venetian castle, browse colorful lanes and try local bourdeto—a spicy fish stew best paired with a coastal view.
Day 3 - Parga → Preveza Five hours south to Preveza, gateway to ancient Nikopolis and home to lively waterfront cafés. Consider a quick taxi to Monolithi, one of Greece’s longest sandy beaches, before a golden-hour return to the yacht.
Day 4 - Preveza → Palairos In three relaxed hours reach Palairos, a quiet fishing village with crystalline coves near Vathiavali. Swim over pale sand tongues that make the sea glow aqua, then dine at a family-run taverna.
Day 5 - Palairos → Sivota Bay (Lefkas) Four hours carry you into fjord-like Sivota on Lefkas. Your skipper noses into a sheltered nook so you can swim in mirror-calm water. Dinner is best enjoyed quayside with the boat just a few paces away.
Day 6 - Sivota Bay → Lakka (Paxos) A 6-hour return north puts you back among Paxos’ emerald contours. Lakka’s lagoon is irresistible for a late swim; ashore, the square hums with relaxed conversation and clinking glasses.
Day 7 - Lakka → Gaios The closing 1.5-hour glide feels like a victory lap. Back in Gaios, enjoy a final stroll along the waterfront before easy disembarkation.
