Ionian Island Hopping
CULTURE & HISTORY / NATURE / SHOPPING / IDEAL FOR FAMILIES / EASY
Take a relaxing odyssey around the very best of the Ionian Island. This is an opportunity to visit some of the most picturesque islands in the Ionian Sea.
A bus journey will take us to Nidri on the island of Lefkas where we will board the cruise boat. Then sit back, relax & enjoy the sun whilst we steer our way around the islands.
Our first stop will be an opportunity to swim at one of the best beaches in Europe, Porto Katsiki/Egremnoi, where its white sands are framed by the steep cliffs. Our journey will also include stops on the beautiful island of Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionion Islands & the island of Ithaca, home to Homers Hero Odysseus.
Heading back towards Lefkas we will visit the legendary cave of Papanikolis on Meganisi – the hiding place of a submarine in the Second World War and cruise by the island of Madouri where the great poet Aristotle Valaoritis was born and wrote his poems.
Our final swim stop will be off the island of Scorpios, primarily known as a private island of the late Greek shipping billionaire Aristotle Onassis and now under a long term lease to Ekaterina Rybolovleva, the daughter of Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev.
