Edward Lear

A must stop
for swimming
in Syvota

Info




Syvota is considered as one of the most exotic destinations within Greece; lacy shores, luscious green islets, long sheltered beaches with crystal clear waters and secret coves, are just some of the settlement’s characteristics that nature has open handedly offered.

PAXI / ANTIPAXI

“A group of small islands with
absolute tranquility”


Marvelous and exotic beaches,
some of them only accessible by the sea

The best preserved and most picturesque villages
in the Ionian islands, some very hip but laid-back
bars and tavernas to enjoy


Enjoy an early morning swim in Antipaxos bay & lunch onboard. In the evening, head to the lively town of Gaios, the main port of Paxi, & explore the various traditional taverns and bustling bars & clubs.


“Turquoise waters lapping against pale sands and dramatic white cliffs”


Depending on the weather, either cruise across the west coastline of the island for a swim & stay in Fiscardo (Kefalonia) for the night, or cross the canal passing Lefkas Marina & stop at Scorpios island for a swim and enjoy the night at Nidri on the eastern coast or at Meganisi island.

LEFKADA


Some pretty seaside villages with wonderful beaches, authentic mountain villages and virgin landscapes once one gets away from the more spoiled tourist areas.

Enjoy the calming silence, marvel the unspoilt nature and breathtaking views, and discover the hidden romantic ruins of monasteries and watermills.

Superb watersports-Vassiliki Bay is custom-made for windsurfing and sailing. Its mountains create gentle morning breezes for beginners, but by afternoon the thermals blow down to create serious crosswinds for pros.

Although Lefkas is essentially a family island, there are a few laid back bars and clubs for evening entertainment.

MEGANISI


The only things to do in Meganisi are swim
in exotic waters and hike through dense greenery.
There are fantastic places to swim
with many beautiful beaches and caves to explore.

ITHAKI
_


The island is dramatically beautiful, rugged,
relatively undeveloped, green and mountainous
with steep blue indented bays and charming
little harbours and villages

A wonderful haven with idyllic anchorage

The waterfront tavernas in Kioni and Frikes
are always a delight but the best places to eat in
Ithaca can be found in small, off the beaten track villages

Peaceful and tranquil night life




Anchor at the bay of Agonas
(Agia Kyriaki beach) & stay in
Assos or Fiscardo for the night.

castles perched on the high slopes of rolling vineyards
