One-week sailing itinerary from Lefkas

Meet at 6 p.m. in Lefkas marina (about a 20-minute drive from Aktion airport) to board your boat. Take time to familiarise yourself with the boat before boarding. You will have the evening to familiarise yourself a little more with the boat and also explore the town of Lefkas.

It's time to set sail for Vathi, a picturesque village in the north-east of Meganisi Island. During your lunch break, you can take your first dip in the pretty bay of Porto Varco. When you arrive in Vathi, you'll discover charming whitewashed houses. Hiking enthusiasts will love the paths along the coast, offering sublime views of the Ionian Sea. Afterwards, you can enjoy a refreshing drink in one of the many local tavernas.

You hoist the sails and follow the south coast of Lefkas to Vasiliki. On the way, you can stop for a swim or lunch in the small port of Sivota. Here you'll find several tavernas and fish restaurants. Sail on to the sheltered bay of Vasiliki in the south of the island, considered to be one of the best windsurfing spots in the world! Perhaps you'll be tempted by an introductory session? You can also go ashore and walk along the coast to relax on the beach at Agiofili. For dinner, try the ‘Taverna Spilia’ restaurant for local specialities.

Head south towards Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian islands. You will drop anchor in the north of the island, in the small port of Fiskardo. As you stroll through this ancient fishing village, you'll discover 18th-century Venetian houses. You can also relax on its pebble beaches (such as Foki Beach) or get out your flippers, masks and snorkels to explore the seabed. There are plenty of tavernas and restaurants here too...

Today is your day to sail wherever you please. From Fiskardo, you can sail along the coast to the south of the island, stopping off at peaceful coves, or head for the island of Ithaca and follow in the footsteps of Ulysses. The small islands of Atokos and Arkoudi are perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature.

This morning, head north of Meganisi to anchor in the pretty bay of Abelike. Green and authentic, it has been preserved from dwellings and other constructions. Nevertheless, you'll find a few tavernas and restaurants to refresh you. The clear, warm waters make it a superb snorkelling spot. For dinner, head to the Taverna Avra restaurant, which offers a magnificent view over the bay. At the same time, you can admire the sunset.

Begin your return journey to Lefkas by sailing along the east coast of the island. Stop for lunch in a quiet cove before returning to Lefkas marina in the late afternoon. For your final dinner, try the ‘Rachi’ restaurant, located on the heights of Lefkas, offering panoramic sea views.

Disembark at 9 am and check out with the base manager. Check all the items on the boat before signing the return inventory. Take advantage of your last day in Lefkas to relax or go hiking before ending your adventure with a delicious lunch at the Fisherman's Hut restaurant, which specialises in the island's seafood.
