Ionian Island Odyssey

Cruise into idyllic coves, explore picture-postcard harbours and visit some of the most beautiful islands in Greece. Our cruise reveals the gems of the Ionian and, as we’ll be travelling by sea on our own wooden schooners, we can seek out places still relatively untouched by the modern world.

DAY 1 – Arrival In Agia Efimia, Kefalonia

Kefalonia is known for its Robola wine and high limestone cliffs falling into azure seas. On arrival, we transfer by coach to the MV Aphrodite or MV Harmonia. Spend the day settling in or exploring the pretty resort of Agia Efimia. The Ionian islands were occupied for hundreds of years by the Venetians, as is still evident in the Italianate style of the houses, food, and the fortifications built to repel pirates and the Ottomans.

DAY 2 – Fiscardo, Kefalonia

We sail northwards, stopping for a swim at Antisamos beach, where scenes from ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ were filmed. After lunch on board, we arrive at the attractive harbour of Fiscardo, with its charming mansions and villas. The small bay is popular amongst the yachting fraternity and has some of the best tavernas on Kefalonia. (B,L) + Included Experience – Visit to Fiscardo
