A 7-day private yacht charter itinerary visting the Ionian Islands, Greece.
Day 1
Fly into the islands of Zakynthos where your crew will be waiting to welcome you onboard. Zakynthos is one of the most beautiful of the Ionian Islands and is well worth exploring by land and by sea. Spend the first night in the vibrant port and relax into the Greek way of life.
Day 2
Cruise around the island today to the famous Smugglers Cove….one of the loveliest beaches in the area. Anchor off and spend the day relaxing, swimming and snorkeling. For the more adventurous, the Blue Grottos provide some exciting snorkeling.
Day 3
After a leisurely breakfast, depart this morning to the east coast of Ithaca. Throughout the ages Ithaca has been known as the home of Odysseus. For years Homer's hero wandered before he finally returned to his island kingdom. Though he visited beautiful, exotic, far-flung lands, Ithaca never left his mind for a moment. And even today, once you've been to Ithaca, it's difficult to forget this small, mountainous island with its captivating coves that conjure up some earthly paradise. Ithaca is separated from Cephalonia by a channel some 2 to 4 kilometers wide. The west coast of the island is steep and almost barren in contrast to the green, gentle shoreline on the east. Ithaca offers lovely beaches for bathing and caves for exploring. Anchor off Nisos Ithaki- Vathi – proclaimed as one of the top ten anchorages in the Greek Islands.
Day 4
Cruise today to Kefanlonia. Kefalonia has hundreds of picturesque villages and small towns, with an architecture and tradition all their own, surrounded by enchanting nature. Beautiful houses, tiny villas and gardens with countless flowers, create a palette of colors and a captivating aroma. It is perhaps the most beautiful of all Greek villages. Anchor off at one of the many beautiful bays for lunch and snorkeling before heading into the vibrant port of Fiskado for the evening.
Day 5
Cruise to Lefkas and head towards Vasiliki in the south. Near this pretty village and its long, pebble beaches is the rocky headland called Sappho's Leap, where, ancient legend has it, unrequited love could be best served by throwing oneself over the 235-ft. drop into the Ionian below. To commune with other yachtsmen, anchor at the resort of Nidri for a taverna meal and a glimpse of wooded islets in the bay, among them Skorpios, the private island of the fantastically wealthy, but now-deceased Greek ship owner Aristotle Onassis.
Day 6
Today cruise to Antipaxos and its larger sister, Paxos. Stop and enjoy lunch at one of the beautiful beaches or explore the caves at Antipaxos before moving onto spend the evening in the port of Gaios at one of many waterside tavernas. If you prefer some peace and tranquility, spend the night at anchor in a beautiful bay in the north of Paxos.
Day 7
Today cruise to Corfu. The main town is full of cultural diversity from its Italianate Spianada (esplanade) in the main square to concerts of British-style marching bands, games of British cricket, the superb Museum of Asian Art and the small Archaeological Museum containing a striking bust of Medusa. Spend the night at Naok Yacht club in Corfu town.
Day 8
Enjoy a leisurely brekafast and prepare for disembarkation by midday.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Thank you to all of the amazing crew and our captain because it was you all who made this trip so special. I'm so thankful to have had this experience, and I hope I will be able to do it again! (…) What an incredible week! The islands, the boat and the food were outstanding, but the crew is what truly made our trip so special! Thank you for spoiling us. Can't wait for the next visit. Cheers. (…) Thank you for a wonderful trip that we all will remember for a long time. OMNIA is a beautiful yacht, but the key to our adventure was the crew! You all did an amazing job that made this the best trip ever! (…) We have been planning a trip to Greece for many years, and now have actually made it! What an amazing way to see a new country! The crew was outstanding - thank you all!
Hello Colin, Congrats, best crew ever. No remarks, all was perfect and the crew was a plus for the all journey, we could not have a more available and friendly crew. All water toys were always available in the water.
Colin, we loved it, loved the crew, the whole experience. We had a blast! The boat was a hit with the whole family, including our daughters, who were afraid of seasickness, so it worked out well!
Working with our charter broker, Trina Howes, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness were exceptional. She made the entire charter planning process effortless and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and matched us with the perfect yacht and crew. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible crew who made our yacht charter such an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard until the very last goodbye, they made us feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and completely at home. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect- from exceptional meals and impeccable service to thoughtful surprises and personalized touches that made our trip feel truly special. Our overall experience was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to hopefully working together again on future adventures!
The crew was awesome (5/5). They worked so well together and really seemed to enjoy working together. They took care of our every need and then some. The cuisine was amazing (5/5). The chef was excellent and had a broad range of cuisine. The country kitchen setup gave us a greater opportunity to interact with the chef, which was a really nice feature. The yacht's interior was immaculate (5/5), and the condition of the yacht was like new (5/5). We absolutely loved the layout, especially the indoor/outdoor option of the bar area on the top deck, and we loved the décor. The amenities onboard were excellent (5/5), with everything we needed and more. We particularly enjoyed the floating chairs and the beach chairs, and we had two great fishing trips - Bo and Hunter were fantastic on those outings. The only suggestion we would make is that the outside aft top deck was always in full sun. We would have used it much more if there had been some type of awning, similar to the one they have for the bow sitting area. We discussed this with the captain on Saturday, and he had already ordered it by Sunday! We would absolutely recommend Indigo and her crew to others. Although the yacht sleeps eight, we would recommend no more than six adults. If there are two to four children, then eight guests could work comfortably. As for your service, we honestly cannot think of a single thing you could have done differently or better to ensure the ultimate yachting vacation. You went so far above and beyond. Thank you!
Best trip yet! As always, the crew has gone above and beyond. 12 out of 10 across the board. Best trip yet!
