7 days charter/ IONIAN SEA |
| Day 1 - Athens - Corinth Canal - Galaxidi |
|
 Galaxidi
was originally built 130 metres above the sea level, on a hill, near the church of St.Blasius and it was called Oianthi.
This church was destroyed by an earthquake and it was rebuilt from preexisting
old walls.
All the surrounding area is an archeological site. The town was built two
centuries before the Trojan war by Locros, a descendant of Defkalion. After his
death a monument was erected to his honour by the Oianthians, called "the
Locrion". In one Delphic inscription though it is written that the only
sovereign was Armodamos |
| Day 2 - -Galaxidi - Kefalonia |
 Kefallonia is the largest of the Ionian islands. The
capital of the island is the town of Argostoli. It is a lively place,
especially in the summer months, with much of the action taking place
around its main square (panoramic view, will take you to external
site). Argostoli is a modern town that offers many entertainment and
shopping opportunities, while still maintaining its charm. Argostoli,
as well as all the other towns and villages of the island, was
completely rebuilt after the earthquake that struck in 1953. The only
area that was spared from the earthquake was Fiskardo. For this reason
Fiskardo retains the old architecture, making it the most beautiful
village on the island. The second largest town of Kefallonia is
Lixouri, on the Pali peninsula. The Mellisani Cave is an underground
seawater lake featured in most guidebooks because of the amazing colour
of the sea. |
| Day 3 - -Lefkada - Ithaki |
 Throughout the ages Ithaki has been known as the home
of Odysseus. For years Homer's hero wandered before he finally returned
to his island kingdom. The west coast of the island is steep and almost
barren in contrast to the green, gentle shoreline on the east. The
capital and largest settlement is Ithaki or Vathi: its red-roofed
delightful houses set amidst enchanting scenery at the end of the deep
closed bay of Molos. Three kilometres to the northwest lies the
so-called Cave of the Nymphs (Nimfon Cave). Also worth visiting is the
medieval Monastery of the Archangels at Perahori. North of the capital
and 600 metres above sea level, the Kathara Monastery (Moni Katharon).
Kioni and Frikes, typically Ionian villages, on the northeast coast are
unspoilt, wonderful places for a short excursion or an extended sojourn.T |
| Day 4 - - Ithaki - Zakynthos |
 Zante the third in size of the islands of the Ionian
Sea, the green island of poetry, of song and love, the native land of
D. Solomos, the writer of the Greek National Anthem but also that of
St. Dennis, the Patron Saint. Rich in beauty and tradition, both
historical and cultural, Zante is the "ideal" of any traveller with an
exploring mind. Discovered in 1897 the blue caves can be found on the
northern tip of Zante not far from Cape Skinari. Famous for their
stunning shade of blue seas and rock formations. Smugglers Cove also
known as Navagio has to be the most famous beach on the island if not
in Greece. At the famous bay of Laganas you can enjoy one of the
longest and most sandy beaches in the Mediterranean. Greece is the only
European country where the logger headed turtles (Caretta, Caretta)
nest and Zante is the most important nesting area in the Mediterranean.
The national marine park of Zante objective is to preserve the natural
environment |
| Day 5 -- Zakynthos - Kilini |
One
of the most beautiful corners of the Peloponissos and Greece. Chelonata
Cape or Kyllini Castle -70 km SW of Patras is gifted with beautiful
organized beaches on the Ionian Sea, with monuments and antiquities
which denote the rich historic past. The land is rich with plenty of
water and produces delicious vegetables and fruits, the hills are
covered with blessed olive trees and lemon trees. Most of the beaches
are lined by a pine tree forest which ends at the very long beach.
Places to visit: Clemoutsi, Loutra Kyllini.

| Day 6 -- Kilini - Nafpaktos |
From the towering of Venetian Castle on the hill
above the city you can see all of Nafpaktos. Its expansive beaches,
pastel buildings set beside Venetian Walls, and veil of pine, palm,
orange, and elm, make it one of the most beautiful cities of the Gulf
of Corinth. Green enough, plenty of waters, big old platans, clear sea,
spotless yards with beautiful gardens, a marvelous fort and small port
together which is the smallest and the most beautiful in all over
Mediterranean and its powerful castle that is “testifier” of its
adventurous history.
|
| Day 7 --Nafpaktos - Corinth Canal - Athens |
The Capital of Greece. Within the sprawling city of Athens it is easy
to imagine the golden age of Greece when Pericles had the Parthenon
(the most eminet monument of the ancient Greek archtitecture) duilt.
Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt.
Lycabettus, which the goddness Athena was said to have dropped from the
heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. The suburbs have covered the
barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively
taverns and bustling shops.
