Kefalonia the island of oppositions that captivates you from the moment you get there. Join us to discover a large part of Kefalonia that you can only know and enjoy by a private yacht. Our cruise will be alongside the southeast coast of Kefalonia all the way up to Fiskardo. This part of Kefalonia is truly one of its hidden treasures. The landscape is unique!
We recommend to depart around 08:00 am from the main harbor in Zakynthos town for the beautiful Island of Kefalonia and the mythical Ithaca. Our first stop is on one of Kefalonia’s beaches to allow you to relax and swim in the turquoise waters of the area. The beach is surrounded by impressive white rocky cliffs with lush vegetation on top of them creating a spectacular setting. The lush green area, the abrupt terrain, the white pebbles and the crystal waters compose a stunning scenery while a small part of the beach remains completely unspoilt, ideal for total isolation.
The second stop is Sami where you can either go for a coffee and a stroll or if you prefer to swim, in Antisamo, well known by the filming of Captain Corelli’s mandοlin. It is also possible, by prior arrangement, for you to take a taxi to the Melisani Lake which is close by (please note that this might take time, as there is always a long queue in the Limini Melisanni). You can explore the magic of nature in all its grandness; the uncovered part of the cave where the light falls on the water and creates the most beautiful turquoise shades and continues in the part of the cave which it’s no wonder why the stars stop by when they are in Greece. The cosmopolitan Fiscardo is next, a stunning little harbour where you can sit and enjoy a drink while taking in the beautiful scenery and and the boats, with its pastel buildings, waterside restaurants and a fancy harbour.
Leaving Kefalonia behind us, we head to Ithaka. Ithaca charms its visitors with its peaceful, quiet and undiscovered places, thus being ideal for alternative activities and a holiday living up to the standards of the most demanding ones. Ithaka’s coastline is truly impressive. Impressive secluded beaches, blue crystal clear waters and green touching the sea. ΚΙΟΝΙ village our stop, a beautiful, little fishing village, still untouched by time and tourism. Ithaca’s most beautiful village Kioni, an enchanting and quiet picturesque port. The entrance of the bay is dominated by 3 derelict windmills. The settlement has been classified as preserved. It was built in the 16th century and many of its homes still stand from that date. This is the place for colorful and relaxing cruising with the taste of Greece. The harbor is lined by tavernas and small cafés where you can enjoy lunch or ice cream. On our way back to Zakynthos we will make one final stop at a secluded beach in Ithaca for you swim before we head back home. At 18.00 our journey comes to an end with amazing adventures. So there will be plenty of wonderful stories and photos to tell and to remember.
