A multi activity adventure for the family exploring the
Ionian Islands of Greece
On board a two‑masted wooden motor yacht, cruise the Ionian Islands
along the west coast of Greece. From Corfu with its Venetian‑style Old Town
and its Sisi‑castle, the trip takes in the islands of Lefkas and Cephalonia. On
Meganisi and Paxos ‑ an island covered in olive trees and where time seems
to have stood still, we gain an appreciation of traditional Greek island life.
During the trip there is ample opportunity to explore the unique islands and
coastal world by boat, kayak, bike and on foot. This family‑friendly cruise
offers flexibility with ample time for swimming, relaxing on the beach or on
board, exploring sites and relaxing in tavernas. The level of activity each day
is up to you. Our guide on board will offer advise and make suggestions and
has plenty of knowledge about the fascinating history of Greece which he is
always keen to share.

TOUR CODE:

Cruise the azure waters of the Aegean and cycle to ancient
ruins and unspoilt beaches
In the South Aegean off mainland Greece is a group of more than 30
islands known as the Cyclades. Whitewashed houses with blue shutters,
a labyrinth of narrow streets flowing through cobblestone villages, sandy
beaches and a relaxed island lifestyle attracts visitors from all over the
globe. Taking in these obvious attractions, this interactive cruising and
cycling adventure delves further into the interior and coastlines, exploring
little known coves and impressive geological formations, ancient sites
and untouched villages. Cruising from island to island, we'll spend plenty
of time ashore exploring fishing villages and historic sites by bike or just
relaxing on the secluded beaches far away from the busy resorts and
enjoying authentic Greek hospitality.
