Our Journey to the Ionian Islands starts from beautiful and picturesque Corfu, an island full of green, magical deaches and her characteristic old town with the two ancient historical castles and old palaces not forgetting the Liston square (the largestin the Balkans). Another historical site is the Palace of Princess Sissy in Achilleon and its fantastic museum.
Of course the history never ends in Corfu but let’s begin our journey through the seas. Starting the sea route we can stop and enjoy a swim in many of the natural bays ending up in the fishing port of Benitses and Petritis. Continuing our course South we meet up with the island of Paxos with its two graphical natural harbors of Gaios and Lakka.Further South is the Island of Antipaxos with its blue green exotically tempting beaches.If it’s a one-week holiday we can set our course East to the port and graphical village of Parga. Returning northwards we can stop for a swim in one of the many secluded beaches we will find on our way and moor up in Mourtos.
From there and coming to the end of an enjoyable seven-day holiday we return to our base of Corfu Marina Gouvia. If we have a longer holiday time, continuing South after Antipaxos we will meet Lefkada, pass through the bridge which connects the island to the mainland and arrive in the Port and Marina of the town. Further South still on Lefkada we meet Nidri and the fishing village of Sivota Lefkada. From there, we can visit a group of small islands with first stop on Scorpios Athina Onasis island and following the islands of Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos and many smaller islands. Or, from Sivota Lefkada we can set course to cosmopolitan Fiskardo on the island of Kefalonia and pass across to the historical island of Ithaka with its beautiful beaches.
As for your return, after visiting all these places we leave it up to you. The above itinerary is just a suggestion for a beautiful holiday. The choice of places and courses is yours.
