Sivota Route
2022 dates: 8, 22 May | 5, 19 Jun | 3, 17, 31 Jul | 14, 28 Aug | 11, 25 Sep | 9 Oct
Day 1 (Sunday) : Palairos
You join your flotilla in our beautifully located Palairos base, just a short drive from Preveza airport. The superb setting, with views across to Meganisi and Scorpio, the island owned by the Onassis family, will soon put you in the holiday mood! After settling in on your yacht there’s time for a stroll around the shops and a relaxing dinner.
Day 2 (Monday) : Sivota, Lefkas (14nm)
Enjoy a sail across to Sivota on the East coast of Lefkas. This is an unspoiled fishing village which has managed to keep its Greek character through all the years despite the growth of tourism. Here you’re spoiled for choice as there is a variety of shops, cafes and tavernas.
Day 3 (Tuesday) : Kioni, Ithaka (15nm)
Kioni village is an exceptional beauty set amidst a setting of olive groves. The lovely houses form an amphitheatre around the steep slopes of the bay with its amazing deep blue waters. After an enjoyable sail, relax whilst moored to the jetty, only a few steps away from the tavern.
Day 4 (Wednesday) : Agia Eufimia, Kefalonia (19nm)
Prior to the 1953 earthquake, Eufimia was the main ferry port on Kefalonia. Now it remains one of the most picturesque seaside villages on the island with all the necessary facilities. Enjoy fantastic views from above the town, a good selection of tavernas and a trip to the nearby Melissani Lake Cave is definitely worthwhile.
Day 5 (Thursday) : Polis, Ithaka (11nm)
Across the channel to the picturesque fishing port Polis on Ithaca. The bay has a beautiful pebbly beach with clear, turquoise waters, and you can take a walk up to the archaeological site of Loizos Cave on the north side, which used to be a worship place during ancient times.
Day 6 (Friday) : Spartochori/Little Vathi, Meganisi (22nm)
Tonight we will be spent either in Spartochori or Little Vathi on Meganisi. Spartochori is a great setting for an evening watching the amazing sunset over the top of the village. Vathi is a tiny port on the northeast coast of Meganisi. In a sheltered position at the end of an inlet, it has a few waterfront tavernas. Settle down to a cold beer and plate of mezes by the quayside and watch the ferry and fishing boats come and go.
Day 7 (Saturday) : Palairos (10nm)
Rather than head straight back to base you can return to one of the many anchorages on Meganisi, perhaps Abelike Bay, for a last lunch stop and swim before returning to Palairos.
Day 8 (Sunday) : Palairos
Disembark at Palairos and take your included transfer back to the airport.
Routes may vary due to weather conditions & other factors. *The flotilla will be doing an alternative route on 26 April depending on which tavernas and shops are open this early in the season.
