Overview

This is one of the best Semi-Private Cruises from Kefalonia to Ithaca departing from Agia Efimia port, on a modern sailing yacht, skippered by an experienced captain who will share some of the most beautiful places in Ithaca.

With a full day ahead, we meet at 8:50 am outside of the yacht to spend a gorgeous full day sailing aboard a sleek and comfortable sailing boat.

Highlights:
-Lunch (traditional Greek food)
-Snacks
-Fruits
-Refreshments, Wine & Beers
-Snorkeling Equipment
-Freshwater shower onboard
-SUP (stand up paddle)
-WiFi onboard

If you are also lucky enough, you can even see dolphins, sea turtles as well as rare migratory birds cruising alongside our boat.

Please be assured we always pick the best places to visit, swim and snorkel according to weather conditions. If the captain suggests so, we may alter this route to give the most pleasant experience possible based on the current winds and the weather conditions at that time.

Gidaki beach

Your day starts with a long sail toward the east of Ithaca, having a first swim stop at ''the paradise on earth'', called Gidaki Beach, where you can snorkel in its crystalline blue-green waters, and have a snack/ drink at the end. Gidaki is considered by many people the best beach in Ithaca, while it is often ranked among the best beaches in Greece! The turquoise blue waters and the natural landscape with the scenic, lush vegetation impress every visitor. It's a pebbled beach with larger pebbles on the western side and smaller ones on the east. The bay is open and ideal for swimming from one side to the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Luxury Day Cruises to Ithaca – swimming, snorkeling food and more!?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
