BeFree Flotilla Ionian Islands: Kefalonia, Ithaca and Zakynthos

Check-in, at Lefkas Marina, available from 16:00 on Saturday. The staff will be waiting for you at the BeBlue meeting point in the Marina to assist you and accompany you in the simple and quick boarding procedures. After the quick boarding procedures and the galley, we will sail at sunset or we will reach the Pool & Bar for a welcome drink just a few steps from the BeBlue boats.

After an excellent seafront breakfast, the fleet is ready to leave for the island of the magnate Aristotle Onassis. Skorpios, with its luxuriant greenery and surrounded by blue waters, will be the spectacular stage for the first anchorage and the first encounters in the water of the BeFree flotilla! Refreshed from the first swim, head to Meganissi for a night in the calm blue waters of the Port Atheni bays.

Head to Itaka! We sail south at a fast pace driven by the morning breeze to reach the shores of the mythological island of Ulysses. White beaches with crystal clear sea for diving, water games and exploration but above all .... a fascinating location for dinig all together, around the fire surrounded by blue, in the magic of butterfly bay.

This morning we go upwind! Breakfast and a refreshing swim before heading, in a succession of turns, towards a glamorous evening in the nightlife capital of Kefalonia! Fiskardo, lively, full of typical shops and classic Greek shops, will be our anchorage for a night of shopping and entertainment in the narrow streets of the center with the possibility of having dinner ashore.

Awakening to Greek Yoghurt and honey, on the mainsail and bow towards one of the idyllic beaches of the north east coast of Ithaca for the usual stop at anchor dedicated to relaxation and chat about the evening just passed. The night will be a surprise! In the most silent and placid peace of a bay all to ourselves, illuminated by soft lights and lulled by the music of the BeBlue Staff.

The word of the day is: magic! Head to Kastos for a swim at the foot of the white cliff north of the island, and then be enchanted by the sunset in the setting of the Kastos Mill. The Georgakopoulos family will welcome us into the magic of this timeless place, cared for and loved over the years, respecting the Greek culture. One of BeBlue's most loved places ...

A bit of healthy real sailing to turn the northern tip of Kastos, where the wind, accelerating a little while channeling between the islands, will push us towards the Varko peninsula ready to welcome us with the sparkling golden wheat field that plunges into the blue waters of the bay. The last packet mooring of the week and then set off on another fun upwind to Lefkada for a well-deserved cocktail in the city.

Disembarkation before 09:00 in Lefkas Marina

Check-in, at Lefkas Marina, available from 16:00 on Saturday. The staff will be waiting for you at the BeBlue meeting point in the Marina to assist you and accompany you in the simple and quick boarding procedures. After the quick boarding procedures and the galley, you can decide whether to set sail at sunset or if, a few steps from the BeBlue boats, reach the Pool & Bar for a welcome drink.

Departure: route to Meganissi, this time however we will enter the bay of Abelake, protected and silent, perfect for the first meeting between the boats of the flotilla. The day will continue with a short navigation, wind in the sails, towards the enchanted and unspoiled Atokos, the perfect setting for the first night in a package!

After breakfast: route to the south of the island of Itaka to explore the white beaches that characterize this part of the island and relax under the stars. The night is approaching… the BeBlue Skippers will sail into the night making you live the magical experience of night sailing to Zakynthos… blown by the wind in the magic of the starry vault.

An awakening, or an arrival for the most hungry for sailing, in the splendid setting of the Blue Caves of Zante for a fresh energizing bath, ready to visit the wreck beach, an inevitable stop for the usual photos! The night will be a surprise, immersed in the peace of the white cliffs that make the sea below shine with blue and crystal. 

Heading north, it's time to pick up the wind a bit and have fun upwind towards Itaka higher and higher until you reach Vathi, ready to welcome us joyfully with the colorful restaurants and bars that are ideal for celebrating Ferragosto properly. Ok, it's a BeFree flotilla but we don't want to miss out on music, right?!?

The sun illuminates the fleet and the scent of coffee knocks on the cabin door: today we are heading to Kalamos in a fleet regatta with tacks and beats to reach the quiet of the island village where George will welcome us in the picturesque setting of his tavern . The right place to enjoy a good cocktail in the peace of the narrow streets of the island and admire the moon from the cliff in a true Greek atmosphere.

Wake up and breakfast with honey and fresh fruit for a day dedicated to relaxation, a few miles separate us from Agios Nikolaos where we will spend an afternoon among the lush beaches and the blue of the crystal clear sea. In the late afternoon the sails are hoisted for the return to Lefkada, ready to welcome us in the comfort of the streets of the center for the last greetings over a good glass of uozo!
