Your sailing trip
A 7 day catamaran cruise through Lefkada, Ithaca and Kefalonia with island hopping, hidden bays, traditional Greek villages and relaxed sailing in the South Ionian Sea.
The Lefkada Explorer itinerary is a sailing holiday through some of the most scenic islands of the Greek Ionian Sea. Departing from Lefkada, this catamaran cruise combines relaxed navigation, sheltered bays, traditional harbour towns and clear turquoise waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The route explores the southern Ionian islands including Meganisi, Ithaca and Kefalonia, balancing easy sailing distances with time ashore to experience local tavernas, waterfront villages and hidden beaches.
Throughout the week, daily life on board follows the rhythm of the sea. Mornings often begin with breakfast in a quiet bay before setting sail towards the next island, with swimming stops and lunch anchorages along the way. Evenings are spent in small ports and fishing villages where guests can explore narrow streets, enjoy fresh Greek cuisine and experience the laid back atmosphere of island life.
This Greece sailing itinerary is particularly suited to travellers looking for a comfortable island hopping experience with a mix of relaxation and exploration. The Ionian Sea is known for its calmer sailing conditions, green landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it ideal for both first time sailors and experienced travellers looking for a slower paced Mediterranean cruise.

Modern Catamaran for Ionian Island Sailing Cruises
The Lefkada Explorer itinerary is operated on modern sailing catamarans designed for comfortable island hopping and relaxed cruising through the Ionian Sea. The onboard atmosphere is informal and social, with spacious outdoor areas where guests can enjoy meals, sunbathe between swim stops or simply take in the coastline while sailing between the Greek islands.
The layout typically includes a shaded cockpit for outdoor dining, wide deck spaces for relaxing at anchor and a bright interior saloon that remains comfortable even during warmer summer days. Cabins are designed for practical comfort during a week at sea, offering private or shared accommodation depending on the cabin category selected.
Catamarans are particularly well suited to sailing holidays in Greece thanks to their stability and shallow draft, allowing access to smaller bays and protected anchorages around Lefkada, Ithaca and Kefalonia. The experience onboard focuses on easy living, connection with the sea and enjoying the rhythm of daily navigation rather than formal luxury cruising.
Depending on the departure date and operational planning, the exact catamaran model may vary and will be confirmed before embarkation. However, the overall onboard experience, comfort level and sailing style remain consistent across the fleet.

Travel organizer tips
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
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?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything.

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?
