The boat slips away from Agia Efimia’s stone quay and the island exhales: sea wind filling the sails, cliffs sliding past in sheets of limestone and green. For eight hours you move at the rhythm of the Ionian — stopping where the water is clearest, dropping anchor off Gidaki Beach and the little Lygia islet so the pack can slip into the blue.

The boat slips away from Agia Efimia’s stone quay and the island exhales: sea wind filling the sails, cliffs sliding past in sheets of limestone and green. For eight hours you move at the rhythm of the Ionian — stopping where the water is clearest, dropping anchor off Gidaki Beach and the little Lygia islet so the pack can slip into the blue.
Ithaca sits at the edge of myth and marine geology. The island’s jagged coastline is carved from uplifted limestone and shale, with sheltered coves that have sheltered sailors for millennia — and still invite a quiet paddle. Local cuisine on board leans into Ionian flavors: olive oil, citrus-bright salads, freshly grilled fish and classic Greek mezze prepared by the crew.
Expect calm, swimming-friendly bays, shallow reefs for snorkeling, and paddleboarding on glassy water. Dolphins often arrive as unannounced companions; loggerhead turtles may glide beneath your mask. The day mixes low-effort exploration with long rests on deck and a few active moments in the water.
Practical essentials: take reef-safe sunscreen, a wind layer for the open crossing, and motion-sickness medication if you’re sensitive. The tour is private and all-inclusive—meals, drinks, snorkel gear and restrooms onboard—so you can travel light. Aim for the morning departure to catch cooler air and the clearest water, and confirm pickup logistics in Agia Efimia ahead of time. Whether you want to float and read or chase a reef with a snorkel, this trip hands you the Ionian’s best swimming spots and a calm, well-cared-for day at sea.
Lunch, snacks, bottled water, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, use of snorkel equipment, Wi‑Fi onboard, restroom facilities, and all taxes and fees are included.
The tour departs from and returns to Agia Efimia harbor; confirm the exact meeting point and pickup time with your operator in advance.
Children are allowed, but everyone should be supervised near the water; non-swimmers can still enjoy the trip but should remain cautious and wear a life jacket when requested.
The operator cancels in unsafe weather conditions; for a full refund cancel at least 24 hours in advance per the standard policy.
