Shared Day Trip from Kefalonia around Ithaca island

Ionian Sea Sailing Cruise Showcases Ithaca’s Hidden Bays and Coastal Villages

A new full-day sailing experience departing from Agia Efimia is offering travelers a scenic journey across the Ionian Sea to the island of Ithaca. Designed to highlight coastal beauty and traditional settlements, the cruise combines swimming stops, village exploration, and panoramic sea views.

The voyage begins with a stop at Aspros Gialos Beach or Polis Beach, where guests can swim in crystal-clear waters and enjoy the natural surroundings. Sailing continues along Ithaca’s coastline, with views of Kefalonia, including the Venetian-style village of Fiscardo and its bustling harbor lined with cafés, fishing boats, and yachts.

The route then leads to the hillside village of Kioni, a neoclassical settlement known for its amphitheatrical layout and preserved island charm. Guests are given time to explore the scenic village before enjoying a relaxed lunch onboard as the cruise continues along Ithaca’s eastern coastline.

In the afternoon, the journey reveals secluded bays, Vathy Bay, and additional swimming stops at Gidaki Beach or Filiatro Beach, depending on conditions. The itinerary concludes with a return to Agia Efimia in the evening, with adjustments made as needed for safety and comfort, offering a flexible yet immersive Ionian sailing experience.
