BeFamily Ionian Greece Cruise: Corfu and Southern Islands

Boarding available on Saturday from 6:00 pm at the touristic harbour of Corfù. When you have gained confidence with the boat and you have taken your place in the cabin, we will dedicate the evening to discover this beautiful seafaring town having dinner in one of many typical greek restaurant.

From the marina of Corfù we will sail along the coast making a stop for lunch in one of the wonderful beach of golden sand that you will find along the route. During the afternoon you will arrive to Kavos (Lefkimmi), a little harbour of fishermen, where is highly recommended to take a break for a fish dinner.

During the morning we leave from Corfù Kavos to a nice sailing with the tailwind towards Paxi. In the afternoon you will reach Paxi where you will be enchanted by the beauty of its coast, which are famous throughout the Ionian. The natural harbours of Lakka, Gaios and Mongonisi are the perfect docking to spend a relaxing evening.

From Paxi we set sail in the morning towards Antipaxi, a real natural paradise of carribean beaches lapped by an aquamarine sea. The island is almost uninhabited and it offers some docks which are the most amazing and idyllic of all the Ionian.

After breakfast we hoist the sails towards west in order to reach Parga in the late morning. The nearby bays offer comfortable docks to jump into the water and to take a walk on the beach, in the evening the small town comes alive among pub and restaurants on the seafront. It is unmissable a stop at the excellent restaurant under the castle to taste fresh fish and the best moussaka of the city. 

From Parga we set course towards Sivouta in Mourtous to make a stop at the beautiful Blue Lagoon, where we can stay all day long and children can swim and jump into the crystal clear water. At sunset you can relax with a dinner at the roadstead or going ashore to try the simple and tasty local cooking in one of the beautiful taverns which you will find along the beach. 

With a peaceful sailing close hauled we go towards the south of Corfù. We can swim, snorkel and dock easily at the wonderful roadstead in the enchanting bays of Kavos and Boukaris, which are beautiful during the sunset.

Check-out will take place in the morning at 9 am.

On Saturday afternoon, starting from 5 pm, your skipper will welcome you at Lefkas Marina in Lefkada to store your things in the cabin, prepare the shopping list and go shopping. In the evening, the skipper and the crew have the opportunity to get to know each other in front of a fish dinner in one of the typical Greek restaurants on the island, before concluding the evening in one of the many bars in this coastal town.

We set sail from Lefkas and, travelling peacefully along the canal, we reach the sea from where we head for the small archipelago of the islands of Skorpio, Skorpidi and Tilia, perfect stopover for the first dive that marks the beginning of these holidays. Sailing for a few miles towards the south-east, we reach Meganissi and its verdant coasts and protected bays, where you can visit the beautiful towns of Vathy and Katomeri and spend the night in the suggestive Limonari Bay.

From Meganissi, we leave early in the morning for a nice sail to the south to reach Ithaca, one of the smallest and at the same time most fascinating inhabited islands in Greece. The legendary homeland of Ulysses will enchant you with its rocky bays and white pearly and calcareous coasts, falling straight up a crystal clear sea.

We leave Ithaca with a quiet close-hauled sailing to the north to arrive in Atokos, one of the remotest islands in the western Ionian Archipelago, off the Acarnanian coast. The island is nearly uninhabited, but we will find a wonderful bay of white pebbles and light blue water, with a little solitary house immersed in green olive groves: the ideal place to admire the sunset and spend a peaceful night.

The small island of Kastos is really one of the gems of the Ioanian Sea; you can reach it from Atokos through a short sailing trip to the north-east. Its little harbour on the east side is the perfect place to have a nice dinner ashore, enjoying the excellent local cuisine and the uncontested hospitality of the inhabitants of this small island.

We sail along the western coast of Kastos, stopping in the wonderful Sarakinos Bay to have a swim. From there, we go to the north-west towards the near island of Kastos, famous for its uncontaminated nature and its many inlets where you can stop to have lunch and go snorkeling. At sunset, you can stop for the night in one of its silent bays on the south-east, where you find white beaches surrounded by ancient olive trees, some of the oldest in the whole Ionian Sea.

After breakfast, accompanied by the singing of the cicadas of Kalamos, we head north to arrive in Lefkas. Lunch break at Vatheiavali beach, where you can enjoy the sea and the sun, and return to the Marina in the afternoon, after a walk around the city to discover the little shops and restaurants on the seaside. Dinner ashore in one of the many local restaurants and overnight stay on board. 

Disembarkation is scheduled in the morning after breakfast at 09:00.
