Sailing week Corfu – Kefalonia
From Corfu town we sail to the island of Sivota, where we will anchor to swim and enjoy its Mediterranean greenery and then continue to visit the beautiful island of Paxos. According to Greek mythology, Poseidon separated Paxos from Corfu with his trident to create a love nest for him and his wife Amphitrite. Paxos is famous for its ancient olive trees that produce one of the most sought after types of olive oil, used even by Queen Elizabeth of England. Paxos is also famous for its caves, its bays and beaches adorned by olive trees and Mediterranean maquis. Paxos and the nearby island of Antipaxos are among the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean. After stopping in the beautiful bay of Lakka, we will check out the picturesque and lively harbor of Gaios and take a dip in the turquoise waters of Antipaxos, continuing to the large island of Lefkas. After a navigation of about 30 miles we await the opening of the swing bridge and cross the narrow strait that separates the island and the continent to reach the charming town of Lefkas. Continuing the navigation in the canal of Santa Maura, whose dredging had been done by the Venetians to avoid the periplus of the island, we will sail to the island of Skorpios, once the exclusive property of the famous greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis. After a pause to swim in this lovely bay we sail to the nearby island of Meganisi where we will treat ourselves to an excellent dinner of meat or fish on the seashore. The next day we will arrive at the final destination, the island of Kefalonia, where we anchor in the thriving and picturesque port of Fiscardo with its colorful fishermen’s cottages and where it is still possible to admire one of the most ancient Venetian lighthouses.
