The Kefalonia flotilla starts from the harbour of Aghia Eufimia (also Agia Effimia), an ideal spot from which to explore the southern of the Ionian islands including Zakynthos and Ithaca. Starting further south means you will be ahead of other flotillas, permitting a more adventurous route and exploring destinations not found on other flotilla itineraries.
The Zante route heads south to Zakynthos town and Aghios Nikolaos. The Kefalonia flotilla route takes you on a trip to the north and the west side of the island, exploring Vathi on Ithaca, Fiskardho, Assos to the west before the last day beach party in a beautiful bay.
With longer sailing distances, this route offers those clients who are loyal to the Ionian with another challenge whilst still be able to enjoy this beautiful area that we love and know so well.

The weather
The Ionian islands enjoy a wonderful climate, and you can be virtually assured of great weather and warm temperatures during the flotilla season. Winds on the Kefalonia flotilla are moderate, with strengths of force 2-4, occasionally a little more in open water. For those accustomed to the calm waters to the east of Lefkas and Kefalonia, the open waters can often have more of a swell, particularly further south. Read more about sailing the Ionian islands…
Getting there

Day 2
This is the largest town on the island, and is situated at the head of the well-protected bay. Explore the back streets for some great tavernas and nightlife.

Fiskardo, lively and sophisticated but retaining some traditional Greek charm and character, a great place for people watching.
