An evening walk of approx. 30 minutes will lead to a pretty lighthouse.Day 5: Cephalonia Island and Meganisi Island
After a short crossing, you arrive at the harbor of Sami. From here you start your cycling tour along the coast to the enchanting Melissani cave, which can only be visited with a rowboat. A visit to a donkey farm, knowledge and fun at the same time for all ages, is next on the agenda before the tour takes you back to the boat. The boat meets you in Sami and takes you for a well-deserved swim break. The journey then takes you further to Meganisi, a charming island where you spend the night.Day 6: Meganisi Island - Arillas
After breakfast, you have the opportunity to explore Meganisi by bike. Afterward, a long crossing takes you to Arillas, an idyllic and peaceful place along the west coast of Greece, close to Perdika on the Greek mainland.

The walks and small hikes lead along good paths, some of which are even asphalted and do not require special training.

Local Travel
Port of embarkation on the Island of Corfu is generally decided the evening before the tour begins which is why we highly recommend an arrival transfer. On the day of embarkation, there are three mooring possibilities; either in the Corfu yard port, below the Old Fortress, or the Corfu city ferry port, or in Marina Gouvia (about 10 km north of Corfu City.)
If you do not book an arrival transfer, you will be provided a number to call on the day of embarkation, so as to know where to find your ship.
You can then take a taxi or bus from Corfu city. If you use a standard taxi, please insist that the driver turns on the taximeter to avoid unpleasant surprises regarding the fare.Climate
The Ionian Islands, located in the western part of Greece, have a Mediterranean climate. High summer, during the months of July and August, can be quite warm. Rainfall is sparse during the summer months this tour is scheduled. Please check local conditions prior to departure.

If you need to connect to the internet during the tour, we recommend renting your own personal portable WiFi device such as MyWebSpot or to take your smart device to a cafe or bar somewhere in the harbor. Free WiFi is offered almost everywhere. As long as your order something to eat or drink, then you are able to use the WiFi free of charge.
