CORFU AND THE NORTHERN IONIAN ROUTE
Lefkas : Preveza : Parga : Corfu : Syvota : Paxi : Nidri : Lefkas
This part of the Ionian is often seen as the poor relation to the waters further south and the Aegean. Far from it – in Corfu and Paxos it has two beautiful islands and also a couple of interesting small mainland ports of call. Mostly we stick to the smaller waterfronts.
Embarkation at 15:00. Enjoy a welcome drink with your fellow travellers and get to know your crew. In the evening enjoy your first dinner on board.
In the morning we cross the Lefkas Canal and sail towards Preveza via a swimstop in a beautifully secluded bay. In Preveza you can join an excursion to the ancient fortified city of Nicopolis and its museum and still have free time to explore. Tonight get ready to eat Greek delicacies and learn how to dance the Syrtaki – it is Greek Party Night.
Arrival in the morning in the magnificent village of Parga with its beautiful turquoise waters where we will drop our anchor. Parga is a true undiscovered gem and our excursion visits the Venetian castle. In the late afternoon we will set sail for our Beach Barbeque on a beautiful stretch of sand.
Arriving in Corfu after breakfast we moor-up all day so you have sufficient time to explore the largest and most famous island of the Ionian, with its Venetian, French and British cultural heritage. Visit the old Venetian Fortress and lose yourself in the narrow streets of the old town or take a can to Palaikastritsa – a beauty spot on the west coast. Later we will be waiting for you for a wonderful dinner on board with the option to head into town to enjoy the bustling night life.
After breakfast jump in the crystal blue waters of Syvota bay, a place you will forever cherish then take one of our SUPs or a Kayak to explore. Enjoy the wonderful village with its lush green pine trees and wonderful beaches or take a trip to the ancient site known as the Gates of Hades.
First we head for Antipaxos , a beautiful unspoiled island. For a swim and time lazing on the beach. After lunch we will slowly set sail for the island of Paxios arriving late afternoon in Gaios port, a true timeless gem with a lovely promenade.
As we head for the town of Nydri on Lefkas we cruise past Skorpios, the famous private island of Aristotle Onassis. Nydri has a picturesque promenade and some great tavernas for lunch. Walk to the nearby waterfalls to work up an appetite. In the late afternoon we set sail for Lefkas town. Tonight is our Captain’s Dinner where we will enjoy one last meal together and toast that we meet again soon.
Disembarkation after breakfast.
