Cruising down the Meganisi channel in the morning sun, our first stop is the Cave of Papanikolis on Meganisi – the legendary hiding place of a submarine during the Second World War. Take photographs of this spectacular cave and learn about Captain latrides and his daring crew.
It’s then on to the island of Formekula, a tiny deserted outcrop of rock in sparkling turquoise sea – the perfect place for a morning swim. Make use of the snorkeling equipment or just enjoy the crystal clear water.
There are two stops on the island of Kastos – first is the island’s one and only village, a cluster of traditional stone houses scattered amongst the olives trees. Second stop is a tranquil beach for swimming, relaxing and lunch, served on board the boat.
After lunch we will explore the island of Kalamos, the tip a majestic underwater mountain, covered in an ancient pine forest. After an ice-cream and a stroll around the harbour, enjoy a swim on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Ionian – Asprogiali.
Finally, the Christina will take you around the island Scorpios, one of the most famous private islands in the world. Hear the tragic story of the Onassis family and enjoy a final swim on one of the island’s sandy beach.
