Wake up to the tranquility of Meganisi, a small and picturesque island gracing the Ionian Sea, situated off the eastern coast of the larger island of Lefkada. The day unfolds on Meganisi, presenting you with the delightful dilemma of deciding whether to plunge into the refreshing sea or savor a leisurely breakfast on the deck. Our suggestion? Why not indulge in both, making the most of the idyllic surroundings.
After a delicious BBQ lunch on board, our ship gracefully navigates towards Vathi, the capital and main port of Ithaca.

Day 6
As the sun rises, our vessel departs from the charming port of Ithaca, embarking on a morning journey to the picturesque Nafpaktos or the historically significant town of Messolonghi. Our experienced captain promises a scenic route, making a delightful pitstop at a beautiful beach for another refreshing swim.
Have a tasty lunch onboard as we navigate through the Gulf of Patras. Soon, the town on the horizon hints at the day’s adventure. In Nafpaktos (on anchor) , the Venetian harbor sparkles in the sunlight, with a medieval castle perched high above the town. Strolling along narrow cobbled streets, you admire centuries-old architecture and feel the pulse of a rich maritime history.
If instead the journey leads to Messolonghi, the landscape shifts to tranquil lagoons teeming with wildlife. Walking along the water’s edge, migratory birds glide overhead, and the town’s historic streets tell stories of resistance, resilience, and the eras of Ottoman and Venetian rule.
As evening falls, the town comes alive with the aroma of local cuisine. You have the chance to dine at a cozy taverna, where the flavors of the region are served with warm hospitality. Later, under a starlit sky, the ship sets sail once again: the Corinth Canal is calling us toward the next chapter of our journey.
Day 7
As dawn graces the horizon, witness the awe-inspiring passage through the Corinth Canal, a testament to human ingenuity connecting the Saronic Gulf with the Aegean Sea. The morning unfolds with breathtaking views, marking the beginning of a day filled with exploration. Our maritime sojourn takes us to the small yet enchanting island of Agistri, known for its natural beauty and crystal-clear waters. Indulge in a final swim off the ship, savoring the embrace of the Saronic Gulf.
A healthy light lunch onboard sets the stage for our arrival at Aegina. Enjoy free time to explore the island and its charming town or opt for our optional excursion, unveiling the Monastery of Agios Nectarios, the ancient temple of Aphaia, and the picturesque Aegina town.
