The spirit of travel
Departures and returns every Saturday from Lefkada
Explore the Ionian Islands with peace of mind, aboard a luxurious catamaran with full crew, skipper and hostess. This is the ideal formula to discover the Greek islands without needing to rent an entire boat, or sailing experience! You share the boat with other travelers while enjoying your comfortable cabin with private bathroom.
The Ionian Islands
Sailing in the Greek islands means discovering peaceful bays, calm seas, small villages and natural sites to explore. The Ionian Islands have the advantage over the Cyclades of being less affected by mass tourism, but above all of offering better weather conditions. Indeed, sailing is often not possible in summer in the Cyclades.
Join us for unforgettable holidays and spectacular sailing between these beautiful islands, with daily swimming in crystal-clear waters,
admire unforgettable sunsets and sunrises and a starry sky as far as the eye can see. Let yourself be charmed by the warm hospitality of the locals and awaken your taste buds with local gastronomy and wines!
Important note: The itinerary, program and destinations may be modified at the captain's discretion due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.

Boarding takes place at 5 p.m. If you arrive earlier, you will be able to explore this magnificent island and its superb beaches. After boarding, the crew will welcome you with a glass of Prosecco. The boat will set sail immediately and take you to the port of Spartochori, where you can take a quick swim before dinner or enjoy a cocktail on board. Evening in a local tavern.
The Blue Caves and the Shores of Ithaca

For the evening: bars, local taverns, cocktails on board.
Cephalonia - Mystery and Splendour
After leaving Vathy port, we will make a stop for a morning swim and breakfast in a magnificent bay before heading to Sami for the afternoon. We will dock at Sami port, facing the restaurants, for an authentic evening of sailing in Mediterranean style. Sami is full of attractions, particularly the underground caves of Melissani, the possibility of renting a scooter to reach the superb Myrtos beach and enjoy spectacular views, a wine tour or scuba diving.
Fiscardo - The Beating Heart of the Mediterranean
Fiscardo is known for hosting some of the best restaurants in the Ionian Sea; it is therefore advisable to arrive early to find a spot on the quay. Two options are available to us: a day of relaxation on the magnificent white pebble beach, followed by a night of anchoring in Foki Bay; or, leave early for Fiscardo to arrive before everyone else and spend more time there. Among all the villages of Cephalonia, Fiscardo stands out for its unique atmosphere, especially during the soft summer evenings.
Porto Katsiki - The Most Beautiful Dream Beach
Today we take you to Porto Katsiki beach on the island of Lefkada, one of the most beautiful in Grèce with its crystal clear waters and beautiful white cliffs. It ranks among Europe's best beaches every year. You will fall under its charm and won't want to leave it... We will stop there for lunch and swimming before heading to Sivota Bay, one of the most beautiful natural harbors and one of the most picturesque fishing villages in the entire Ionian region. After mooring the boat, you will stroll through the streets and soak up the unique atmosphere of this magical bay.
Kalamos and the Enigma of Papanicola Caves
We will navigate to reach the Papanicola caves, which are said to have served as a secret refuge during World War II for the Papanikolis submarine of the Italian fleet. You will enjoy a peaceful day of sailing, beaches, relaxation and sunshine before heading to the small island of Kalamos and the charming little town of the same name for a waterfront dinner.
The Ultimate Symphony at Lefkada

Keeper of a sensitive and timeless Greece, based in Athènes
Greece is more than its postcards. What I love to share is its nuances, its light, its traditions and that unique emotion you feel when discovering it slowly.
