Ionian Slow Week
The gentlest week we offer. Calm mornings, afternoon breezes and short distances between anchorages.
Region
Ionian Sea
Duration
7 days
Starting port
Lefkada
Day by day
Day 1. Lefkada. Board, settle in and motor out to a calm bay a short way south.
Day 2. Green island coves. Swim from the boat in a ring of pine-covered hills.
Day 3. Harbour town. Colourful houses on the waterfront and dinner a few steps from the boat.
Day 4. Sea caves. Explore the cliffs by tender in the morning before the wind fills in.
Day 5. Sandy anchorage. A full day at anchor with paddleboards and a long lunch.
Day 6. Hilltop village. A short walk up to the old village for the view across the sound.
Day 7. Return. Sail back with the afternoon breeze and disembark in the evening.
Highlights
Light winds, green islands, sheltered anchorages and some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.
