  • Greek Ionian Islands Bike and Boat Tour from Corfu

    Hellas shows her greenest side in this lovely tour of the Ionian Islands, off the west coast of Greece:  nature, crystal clear shimmering sea and centuries of Venetian influence dominate the archipelago. Corfu, the dream island of the unforgettable Austrian empress Sissi, is the starting point of this journey, which leads us to regions which are not very well known abroad. We’ll discover the island of Ithaca, which is said to have been the home of Ulysses’ Odysseus; the incredible bird sanctuary island of Lefkas; the wonderful mountain world of Cephalonia; and the beautiful olive woods of the small island of Paxos. Enjoy your stay on board the wooden motor yacht Panagiota and let yourself be whisked away, sampling the excellent, rich Greek cuisine and coziness of the ship!

  • Itinerary

    Day 1:  Corfu Town (Embarkation)

    Individual arrival and subsequent transfer to ship. Check in is available on the Panagiota, your ship and home for the week, starting at 2PM. Dinner is served on board. Overnight stay in Corfu town.

    Day 2:  Corfu Island – Sivota – Parga – Lefkas Island – 18 miles / 28 km

    In the morning we’ll cross over to Sivota, on the mainland. Our first cycle tour leads us to Parga, found below a Venetian fortress. The boat awaits us in Parga to take us on a cruise to the town of Nidri on Lefkas Island. En route we pass a swing-bridge which connects Lefkas with the Greek mainland. You’ll spend the night in the lively harbour of Nidri.

    Day 3:  Lefkas Island  – 21 miles / 35 km

    Today first we’ll travel from Nidri to a nearby waterfall. If you’re lucky it will have enough water for a refreshing morning swim. Next we’ll cycle along quiet roads through the mountains past Sivros to the harbour in Vasiliki. We anchor at Porto Katsiki, one of the most famous beaches in Greece. Then the ship brings us to Fiskardo on Cephalonia, where we’ll spend the night. This harbor town enchants visitors with its colorful houses, numerous cafés and bars along the picturesque promenade.

    Day 4:  Cephalonia Island – 24 miles / 39 km

    Day 4’s cycle tour leads us from Fiskardo to an impressive mountain pass on the western side of the island. We’ll have amazing views, a panorama down to Myrtos beach, its white pebbles and electrifyingly clear water. After a refreshing break we continue cycling. We may visit the Melissani limestone caves featuring stalactites and stalagmites, which can be viewed from row boats. Later in the afternoon we’ll cruise to Vathy on Ithaca Island.

    Day 5:  Ithaca Island – 13 or 17 miles / 20 or 28 km

    Today the famous island of Ithaca awaits us, the homeland of Odysseus. It’s hilly and features a beautiful landscape. Gnarled olive trees, crystal clear water and friendly locals – time seems to stand still away from the busy touristic routes. You’ll have to decide if you’re up for a steep climb and a bit of a challenge, or a more leisurely ride. From Frikes the Panagiota takes us to the small island of Meganisi.

    Day 6:  Islands of Meganisi and Paxos – 13 miles / 20 km

    Meganisi has got lots of charm, we’ll spend the morning exploring it by bicycle. There are three villages on our itinerary today, showing us the traditional island life of Greece. Spartochori beach is great for a swim and a coffee break, and in the afternoon we’ll sail to Paxos Island, featuring a unique natural harbor, Gaios. We can spend the evening in one of the cozy taverns of Gaios.

    Day 7:  Islands of Paxos and Corfu – 14 miles / 23 km

    We’ve saved the smallest of the seven Ionian Islands for last; Paxos is a grove of olive trees, giving the island its wonderful silver green color. We circle the island, have our last swim in the Mediterranean on one of the many beaches and after lunch we travel back to Corfu. Dinner is served on board, our last evening together in a cozy atmosphere with crew and tour guides.

    Day 8:  Corfu town – Disembarkation

    After breakfast, check-out and individual return home or extended stay in Greece.
