Parga is a pretty town with the medieval fort which towers over the old town. The boat will be waiting to go to Nidri on Lefkas Island. On the way, you will pass the original swing-bridge which connects Lefkas with the Greek mainland.
DAY 3: Island of Lefkas, 18 mi. (29 km)
Today’s Greece cycle route begins in Nidri first and first leads to nearby waterfalls. If you are lucky, there will be sufficient water for a refreshing morning swim. Along quiet roads, through the mountains and past Sivros, you cycle to harbor in Vasiliki. Then after a short sail, the boat anchors at Porto Katsiki, one of the most famous beaches in Greece. Off again to Fiskardo for the night. The harbor town on the Northern point of the island charms visitors with its colorful houses and numerous cafés and bars along the picturesque harbor promenade.
DAY 4: Cephalonia Island, 28 mi. (45 km)
Today’s cycle tour leads you from Fiskardo to Sami. Cycle along the impressive mountain pass at the eastern coast of the island. You will witness unforgettable views, like the panoramic view to the neighbor island of Ithaca. After a refreshing break, continue cycling to visit the limestone (stalactite and stalagmite) caves of Melissani, which can only be viewed in row boats and charms you with electrifying clear water in various shades of blue. In the late afternoon, cruise to Vathy on the Ithaca Island.
DAY 5: Islands of Ithaca and Meganisi, 13 + 8 mi. (21 + 13 km)
Ithaca, the homeland of the mythical king Odysseus, is a hilly island with a beautiful landscape. On today’s cycle route you will enjoy the typical character of the Ionian Islands away from the beaten tourist track. On this island, full of gnarled olive trees, crystal clear water, and friendly islanders, time appears to stand still. From Frikes, the Panagiota sails to the small island of Meganisi. On the way, you will pass the private island of the influential ship-owner Aristoteles Onassis. Meganisi is a tiny island with lots of charm, which can be explored in the afternoon in no time by bicycle.
DAY 6: Mytikas - Lefkas - Paxos, 30 mi. (49 km)
In the morning, there is a crossover to Mytikas on the Greek mainland. From Mytikas, you will cycle along the Greek coast and further on along panoramic roads, passing some mountain villages until arriving at Lefkas town. The unspoiled and truly exquisite Greek Island of Lefkas is brimming with traditional charm and appeal. Huge white rocks form an intense landscape which is softened by an array of lush green valleys, clear blue waters, and stunning, long sandy beaches. The low-lying east coast of Lefkas is home to an abundance of leisure facilities and picturesque views while the west - rugged and open - promises blue seas and fabulous stretches of sand which are a magnet for the more adventurous traveler. In the afternoon, the ship will sail to Paxos Island, whose unique natural harbor in Gaios creates a special island atmosphere. You can pass the evening hours in a cozy tavern in Gaios.
DAY 7: Islands of Paxos and Corfu, 14 mi. (23 km)
Paxos, the smallest of the seven Ionian Islands is a grove of olive trees, which gives the island its wonderful silver green color. On today’s cycle tour you will circle the island and have the opportunity to swim in the Mediterranean and relax on one of the many beaches. After lunch, the boat brings you back to Corfu town and following dinner on board, you end your tour leisurely with an evening in the romantic, historical town center.
DAY 8: Departure from Corfu town

Most Memorable parts: Cruising on the ship, cycling, swimming, good food and service. Jumping into the sea from the ship for swimming, discovering small islands not visited before on the bigger cruises. Shopping at reasonable prices. Visiting Delphi.
