What to expect
You'll board in the pre-dawn hours and head out as light breaks across the Ionian Sea. The crew brings breakfast—pastries, fresh fruit, juice—and hot drinks as you cruise past rocky headlands and hidden coves. Dolphins aren't guaranteed, but these waters see regular activity. Most time is spent on deck or in the cabin scanning the horizon. The route loops past seven named landmarks including sea caves and small beaches. Water can be choppy; the boat rocks gently but noticeably.
