To know

Highlights

A multi-adventure cruise among the Ionian Islands, along Greece's west coast, suitable for adults and children! Here you can discover a greener Greece, that of Corfu, Lefkas, Paxos and Meganisi. That of picture-postcard villages, where time seems to have stood still to make room again for ancient traditions and the spontaneity of nature. Let yourself be captivated by Greek cuisine and legends while enjoying boating and biking, canoeing and hiking in the timeless beauty of these places.

 

  • The White Cliffs of Lefkada
  • The village of Fiskardo and the Melissani Cave, in Kefalonia
  • The clear sea and postcard-perfect beaches

What awaits you

A week of boating with a mix of easy biking, hiking and canoeing. The program requires no special preparation: all that is needed is some familiarity with pedals, walking and sea life, along with minimal training that can be acquired by occasional outings. The hilly routes by bike can be tackled calmly, even by a child, but if you don't feel like participating in some of the rides, you can skip them by staying on board to enjoy the sunshine.

Accommodation

Overnight accommodations are provided aboard a two-masted motor sailboat-a floating hotel that follows you during the various excursions and welcomes you aboard in the evening. Available to guests: a spacious salon that becomes a restaurant at mealtimes, a large sun deck equipped with comfortable mattresses, a shady back deck, and comfortable cabins with private bathrooms and air conditioning.
