 Day 1 (Sunday) : Palairos Harbour

You join your flotilla in our beautifully located Palairos base, just a short drive from Preveza airport. The superb setting, with views across to Meganisi and Scorpio, the island owned by the Onassis family, will soon put you in the holiday mood! After settling in on your yacht there’s time for a stroll around the shops and a relaxing dinner.

Day 2 (Monday) : Sivota, Lefkas (14nm)

Enjoy a sail across to Sivota on the East coast of Lefkas. This is an unspoiled fishing village which has managed to keep its Greek character through all the years despite the growth of tourism. Here you’re spoiled for choice as there is a variety of shops, cafes and tavernas.

 Day 3 (Tuesday) : Big Vathi, Ithaka (16nm)

Big Vathi has been the main harbour of Ithaca since the 16th century. Vathi is steeped in history and wandering the small streets is a treat before you settle down for a leisurely meal and sundowner..

 Day 4 (Wednesday) : Kioni, Ithaka (7nm)

Kioni village is an exceptional beauty set amidst a setting of olive groves. The lovely houses form an amphitheatre around the steep slopes of the bay with its amazing deep blue waters.

Day 5 (Thursday) : Kalamos (18nm)

Enjoy a sail over to the island of Kalamos, a beautiful little mountainous island covered with pine trees. The coastline is dotted with small, mostly pebble beaches and this is the perfect spot to go for a hike. Kalamos is a quaint little village with a rich history and culture and many ancient churches and monasteries. The local tavernas serve some of the best traditional Greek cuisine in the area.

 Day 6 (Friday) : Little Vathi, Meganisi [Karnagio] (16nm)

Little Vathi is a tiny port on the northeast coast of Meganisi. In a sheltered position at the end of an inlet, it has a few waterfront tavernas. Settle down to a cold beer and plate of mezes by the quayside and watch the ferry and fishing boats come and go.

 Day 7 (Saturday) : Palairos Harbour (9nm)

Stop at Abelike Bay for a last lunch stop and swim before returning to Palairos.

Two-Week bookings have “Free Sailing” or the option to return to the base at Palairos.
