Cruise Itinerary

We’ll set sail at 08:00 AM from Zakynthos Town Port, making our way up the island’s scenic northern coastline. Our first stop will be the awe-inspiring Blue Caves, an extraordinary series of natural arches and caves shaped by the relentless work of the waves over millennia. The striking contrast between the brilliant white cliffs and the crystal-clear azure waters is a spectacle to behold. As the sunlight filters through the water, it reflects off the cave walls in a magical blue glow, creating a dreamlike setting. We’ll anchor nearby so you can fully appreciate the view or take a swim inside these natural wonders.

Next, we’ll head to the legendary Shipwreck Beach, one of Greece’s most iconic destinations. Tucked into a dramatic cove and surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, this amazing sandy beach is famous for the rusting wreck of the ship MV Panagiotis that lies at its center. From there, we’ll cruise across the Ionian Sea toward the island of Kefalonia - a land of striking contrasts that will leave you spellbound. As we explore its southeastern coast, we’ll stop for a swim at the breathtaking Antisamos Beach, known not only for its turquoise waters and lush surroundings but also for its appearance in the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.
...

Our next stop will be at Sami, where you’ll have some time to enjoy a leisurely coffee or stroll along the waterfront. or, if you prefer (by prior arrangement), take a taxi to visit the famous Melissani Lake. Please note that this visit might take some time, as there is often a long queue at Melissani. Hidden inside a 3.5-kilometer cave, the astonishing subterranean lake is split into two parts - one dark and mysterious with ancient stalactites and moss-covered formations, and a sunlit one with a collapsed roof that allows sunlight to illuminate the waters of the lake, generating a magical interplay of light and color that creates a surreal and unforgettable scene.

Time permitting, we’ll make a final swim stop at one of Kefalonia’s hidden beaches, embraced by sheer white cliffs blanketed in greenery. This secluded haven, with its sparkling clear waters and unspoiled shoreline, is perfect for those seeking tranquility away from the crowds. As the day winds down, we’ll cruise back to Zakynthos Town Port, bringing this unforgettable Ionian adventure to a close.
