From Lefkas to Lefkas
(North Route).

Framed by the Ionian’s impossible blues and tree-dashed slopes, Sivota Lefkada is the perfect prologue. Its lively harbor hums with tavernas and cafés, while hidden coves along the carved coastline promise sun-soaked swims. Inland, rolling forests, river valleys, and timeless stone villages weave a storybook landscape. White-sand Karavostasi Beach awaits those who want to begin with a barefoot day in the surf.

Small, stylish, and serene, Paxos exudes discreet glamour. Its three villages – Gaios, Lakka, and Loggos – offer cobbled promenades, waterfront cafés, and boutique charm. Olive groves and vineyards crisscross the hills, while turquoise bays invite diving, snorkelling, and lazy afternoons at anchor. Explore the Blue Caves by tender, or hop across to Antipaxos for vineyard walks and crystalline beaches.

Green, cosmopolitan Corfu is the jewel of the Ionian. Venetian and French influences echo in its fortresses, pastel townhouses, and the grand Achillion Palace. The island’s west coast reveals secluded inlets, soaring cliffs, and sleepy fishing villages. Swim or sun at Glyfada or Paleokastritsa, hike olive-draped hills, or take to the skies paragliding from mountain ridges. Rich history, cosmopolitan flair, and natural drama combine here.

Return to Paxos, this time to Lakka’s luminous bay. Superyachts anchor in crystalline waters ringed by traditional Greek houses, boutique shops, and excellent tavernas. By day, snorkel or paddleboard in calm turquoise seas; by evening, dine harborside as the lights of the bay reflect in the water. It’s the Ionian at its most intimate and inviting.

Back on the mainland, Parga offers a picturesque amphitheater of pastel houses climbing above a turquoise bay. Venetian Castle crowns the hillside with sweeping sea views, while the old town’s tavernas and boutiques bustle with energy. Swim in hidden coves, explore nearby beaches, or simply wander its vibrant waterfront before sunset cocktails on deck.

Linked to the mainland by a causeway, Lefkada is known as the “Caribbean of Greece” for its white cliffs and turquoise seas. Porto Katsiki, Egremni, and Kathisma beaches are among the finest in Europe. Inland, waterfalls, Venetian castles, and villages like Agios Nikitas showcase another side of the island. Evening in Lefkada Town offers lively tavernas and chic boutiques along the waterfront.

Sail back to Sivota, a fairytale harbor town where Ionian blues meet forested mountains. Spend your day dipping into coves, wandering shaded village lanes, or enjoying fresh seafood on the quay. With history, nature, and sea views at every turn, Sivota is the perfect place to savor your final evening afloat.

Awaken to one last swim or coffee along the waterfront before disembarking. Sivota’s blend of natural beauty, history, and Ionian charm makes for a graceful farewell to your Greek island journey.
