Azure cruise in Kefalonia with hidden beaches and Greek lunch

4.6/5
148 reviews

As leisurely cruises go, this sunkissed trip along the Kefalonia coastline is hard to beat. Prepare yourself for a day of total relaxation as you take in the scenery, the Ionian breeze and a trio of the island's best beaches. Skipper Lucas says, ‘Kefalonia has beaches to suit every preference. And this cruise pulls out all the stops, calling at a secluded cove which is difficult to reach without a boat, and finishing at a bigger beach with lots of facilities.'

During this exclusive boat trip, we'll head to some of Kefalonia's best strips of sand. White Rocks, the waters around Vardianos island and Xi beach are on the agenda. Our journey begins as we depart from Argostoli port, sailing along the picturesque west coast to White Rocks beach. This secluded strand is accessible only by boat and is known for its dazzling turquoise waters backed by white cliffs and a sandy beach. Next, we'll head to the nearby Vardianos island, where we'll anchor for a brief swim stop. Here, you can dive into the blue of the Ionian Sea with a snorkel to check out the rich marine life.

Our final stop is the secluded beach of Mania, known for its tranquil environment. Settle in and relax, swim in the shallow waters and take in views of the surrounding greenery and rugged cliffs. During the cruise, you'll enjoy a traditional Greek lunch, including local specialities such as moussaka, tzatziki, Greek salad and fresh fruit. Wine and water will be provided to accompany your lunch. There'll be one final swim break nearby Vardiani island before we head back to base.

    A great day out, the crew on the boat were very entertaining and friendly. The three swim stops were great fun, and the lunch & wine provided was fabulous. It was well worth the money, in all just over 6 hours long, with plenty of time to enjoy the swimming & lunch.

    The trip on the boat was good but the 2 hour journey before hand was unnecessary when it’s 25 mins away from Lourdas to argostoli. It’s cheaper if you get a taxi and book one of the trips separately. The boat was lovely great fun and great host wine on tap and water but you pay extra for beer

    We enjoyed all the stops. Great boat which is well kept up together. Great friendly crew. My husband said the white wine was unpleasant & neither of us enjoyed the Kefalonia pie .. the pastry was very soggy & it was lukewarm.

    We arrived at the boat to find a small vessel that looked equipped for 25 or fewer people, taking more than 50 people on board. There were very few seats with people crowded together in very small areas. Not at all what we were expecting for a 7 hour cruise. One of our party is 77 and they were wholly put off by the number of people. We did not board the boat in the and as felt it looked very uncomfortable, hot, and unsafe. Ideally we would like a refund as soon as possible.
