Day 2 & 3: Meganissi – Paxos (40 nm)

Paxos is a small group of islands on the northern side of the Ionian Sea.

“Although it’s one of the least commercial islands of the Heptanese, it is a true paradise with its beautiful seaside villages, the crystal blue and azure waters, and the unique olive trees –planted by the Venetians- a species different from any other in Greece.”

Gaios, the island’s capital and main port, situated on the east coast, offers endless opportunities for dining and drinking with a great amount of restaurants, taverns, bars, and cafes near the bay. While you are in Gaios you can visit the churches of Agios Nikolaos and Agios Ioannis, the picturesque windmill and the historical museum of Paxos exhibiting fascinating archaeological and historical objects.

Finally, from Gaios port, the small magical heaven-like island of Antipaxos can be reached with its amazing, exotic Caribbean-like beaches, that’s worth your visit.

Day 4 : Paxos – Kefalonia (52 nm)

“Ideally located in the heart of the Ionian sea, Kefalonia –the largest of the Ionian islands – is famously known as the location of the movie “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”.”

However, the island has much more to offer from its exquisite beaches, stunning stretches of sand to its picturesque villages beautiful castles, and monasteries. In contrast with the Meagnisi and Paxos group of islands, Kefalonia attracts thousands of visitors who wish to spend an exotic holiday in this small piece of heaven.

In Kefalonia, you will see a unique fir-type tree species, with whitish branches and sharp needles, not seen anywhere in the world, hares and goats with gold-colored teeth due to the soil constituents and seals swimming in the azure water.

World-famous beaches include Antisamos, Lourdas, Skala, and Myrtos – probably the most spectacular.

Finally, many people say that Asos, the tiniest port of Kefalonia is the finest settlement of the island. Built on a narrow strip of land, it’s few houses hug the shore creating a stunning scenery worth visiting.

Day 5 & 6: Kefalonia – Lefkas – Ithaca (27 nm)

“Ithaca is a Greek island located in the Ionian Sea, off the northeast coast of Kefalonia. Worldwide famous as the home of Odysseus, Ithaca symbolizes the return to the haven, the discovery, and the fulfillment.”

The island of Ithaca is mountainous and serene, with picturesque ports and villages, beautiful sandy white beaches, amazing views, and a small local population. Despite its proximity to Kefalonia, it is much more peaceful, quiet, and undiscovered from it, thus being an ideal place for alternative activities.

With its 27-kilometer long and 6.5-kilometer large mountainous surface, it boasts plenty of hiking as well as mountain bike trails in a sequence of blue and green alongside the coast and through olive, cypress, pine, oak, arbutus, and carob trees upon the hills.

Scuba diving and sea kayaking are some of the options too, while the Cave of the Nymph will give you the chance to combine an exciting visit with a myth: Odysseus had hidden there the gifts he had brought along from the land of the Phaeacians.

The port of Vathi is known as one of the most picturesque natural ports in the Mediterranean. It includes a town full of shops and cobblestone roads and many tavernas that offer traditional island dishes. The traditional cuisine of Ithaca is mostly fish dishes such as savoro (fish fillet fried in vinegar, raisins, rosemary, and garlic), and the traditional sweet rovani (sweet cake with honey and ground rice).

The beach lovers will take pleasure in a multitude of choices covering all tastes. Filiatro, Sarakiniko, and Agios Ioannis are some of the best and if you are looking for a secluded alternative, though, Gidaki beach is your best choice.
