Trekking and Snorkeling on Lavezzi Island: Granite Landscapes and Underwater Wonders
Lavezzi Island, the largest in the protected archipelago south of Corsica, offers a unique mix of scenic hiking trails and crystal-clear snorkeling spots. Part of a group that includes Cavallo, Ratino, and Piana, Lavezzi captivates visitors with its surreal landscape of granite boulders, soft white sand beaches, and shallow turquoise waters. Trekking on Lavezzi is easy and rewarding. Follow well-marked coastal paths that wind through wild vegetation and past naturally sculpted rocks—one famously shaped like an elephant. Along the way, visit the two memorial cemeteries honoring the victims of the Semillante shipwreck, a poignant reminder of the island's maritime past. Underwater, the experience is just as breathtaking. The exceptional water clarity makes Lavezzi one of the best snorkeling spots in the region. Explore submerged rock formations and vibrant marine life, including groupers, sea bream, and colorful wrasse hiding in rocky crevices. Ideal for active travelers and nature lovers alike.
Cultural Visit to Bonifacio’s Old Town and Citadel
Explore the historic heart of Bonifacio, one of Corsica’s most iconic coastal towns. Start with a walk through the narrow alleys of the Old Town, lined with centuries-old stone houses, artisan shops, and traditional cafés. Visit the citadel, a fortified stronghold dating back to the 9th century, offering panoramic views of the cliffs and marina. Don't miss the Staircase of the King of Aragon, 187 steps carved directly into the limestone, descending dramatically toward the sea. According to legend, it was built in a single night by soldiers. At the top, the limestone cliffs provide spectacular vistas over the Strait of Bonifacio and the Sardinian coast. This experience blends history, architecture, and nature, making it a must-do cultural stop during your sailing cruise.
Visit to the Church of Sainte-Marie-Majeure in Bonifacio
Nestled in the heart of Bonifacio’s historic Old Town, the Church of Sainte-Marie-Majeure is the oldest and most significant religious building in the city. Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, this Romanesque-Gothic church is a remarkable example of medieval Corsican architecture. Its stone façade, supported by ancient flying buttresses, evokes the town’s deep historical and spiritual roots. Inside, visitors can admire a simple yet atmospheric interior, with vaulted ceilings, aged stone walls, and centuries-old religious artifacts. The church has long served as the spiritual heart of Bonifacio and still hosts local masses and festivals, offering a glimpse into Corsica’s religious traditions. A visit here is ideal for those seeking a cultural and contemplative pause during their sailing itinerary. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply looking for a quiet moment away from the crowds, Sainte-Marie-Majeure offers a timeless and authentic experience.
Travel organizer tips
What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light—but wisely! Need help building the perfect list? Read our full guide: What to pack in a suitcase for a yacht charter
What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor—ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues—but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes? Read the full FAQ: What to do in case of adverse weather conditions or changes to the itinerary
What happens on a typical day on board ?
Every day will be quite different from the other, as the beauty of being on a boat is just this! No two days will be the same. The boat moves along an itinerary that is partly decided by the captain beforehand and partly influenced by the weather. Sometimes the boat will be anchored in a bay and sometimes moored in a marina. If you want to go on land, you will either be brought by the captain with the dinghy (a small rubber boat, with engine) or simply step down on the pontoon. Enjoying some local life, going on a shopping spree, eating in the local restaurants, participating in local activities (winery visits, trekking, biking, cooking classes and more) and generally sightseeing is a fundamental part of your sailing holiday just like swimming, sunbathing and relaxing on board in those moments when going to land will not be practical.

This sailing trip through the Ionian Islands was truly unforgettable. I was a bit nervous traveling solo, but the moment I stepped on board, I felt at home. The crew made everything easy and enjoyable. I loved the balance of being out at sea and having time to explore each island. Walking through the streets of Kioni, watching the sunset in Fiskardo, and swimming off the back of the boat were just a few highlights. The food was fresh and delicious, and evenings were relaxed and social. I especially enjoyed the freedom—no strict schedules, just a smooth journey from one beautiful destination to the next. Each day brought something new, and the group vibe was great. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape where you can connect with nature, meet great people, and discover amazing Greek islands, I can’t recommend this enough.

What an amazing week! I had never been on a sailing trip before, but this experience has definitely made me want to do it again. The Ionian route was perfect—calm seas, beautiful landscapes, and enough variety to keep each day exciting. Our stops in Meganisi, Ithaca, and Kefalonia gave us time to explore local culture, enjoy great meals, and swim in incredible spots. Life on board was relaxed, and there was always a nice balance between group time and personal space. I loved lying on the deck after dinner and watching the stars with the sound of the sea in the background. The crew was kind, professional, and really made the whole experience special. This kind of travel is ideal if you want to slow down, breathe, and enjoy a true connection with nature. I already know I’ll be back for another itinerary soon!
