Cruise Itinerary
Our journey to the beautiful island of Kefalonia and the mythical Ithaca will start at 08:00 AM from Zakynthos Town Port. Upon arriving in Kefalonia, we will make our first stop for swimming at one of the island's hidden gems: a beautiful beach surrounded by impressive white rocky cliffs adorned with lush greenery. Our next destination will be the picturesque Sami, where you can either enjoy a coffee and a stroll or, if you prefer, soak up the sun and swim at the marvelous Antisamos Beach, famous for being a filming location for the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin. It is also possible (by prior arrangement) to take a taxi to visit the island's top attraction, the breathtaking Melissani Lake. This subterranean lake is nestled within a large cave that features two chambers: a dark one with stalagmites and stalactites, and a sunlit one with a collapsed roof that allows sunlight to illuminate the crystal-clear waters of the lake, creating a magical interplay of light and color. Please note that this visit might take some time, as there is often a long queue at Melissani.
Ithaca (also known as Ithaka and Ithaki) is a place steeped in myth and natural beauty. Known as the legendary home of Odysseus, this idyllic island boasts an impressive coastline with enchanting landscapes, stunning secluded beaches, and picturesque coastal villages. Its serene atmosphere, combined with the warmth of its people, makes it a perfect destination for those seeking tranquility. Upon arriving in Ithaca, we will visit Kioni, a beautiful little fishing village that remains untouched by time. The entrance to its bay is dominated by three derelict windmills. The settlement has been classified as preserved since it was built in the 16th century, and many of its homes still stand from that era. Kioni's picturesque harbor is lined with tavernas and small cafes where you can sit and relax while enjoying your lunch, coffee, or ice cream. Before we return to Zakynthos, we will make one final stop for swimming at a secluded beach in Ithaca, and then we will make our way back to Zakynthos Town Port.
