Azure cruise in Kefalonia with hidden beaches and Greek lunch

4.5/5
258 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.

    From booking our TUIp with Nikkos who was so efficient, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. What a charming young man. His description of the boat trip was accurate. The crew were very welcoming andfullvof filun but ensured everyone was safe. The young female crew member was outstanding. Bruschetta mid morning was a welcome treat as was the watermelon on the way back. As for lunch, it was delicious. The free wine was very pleasant and other drinks available at the bar were reasonably priced

    Great day out - Boys aged 13 & 11 loved jumping off the boat into the beautiful waters that surround the island. The crew were amazing!

    The staff and service on the boat could not be faulted, the problem and reason behind the bad rating is TUI. The trip is not sold as seen or advertised at all. The boat we were put on was too small and we were packed on like sardines, nowhere to sunbathe (as promised) no choice of food for lunch which was served on your knee shoulder to shoulder with everyone else no table etc. You'd be better going to them boat and booking directly.

    The cruise itself was fantastic and the food was good quality that was served and we had a great opportunity to visit some exclusive beaches and do some sea swimming. One thing I would like to highlight was that on the return transfer back from the cruise to the hotel we had to change vehicles but there was no communication of this and there was no representative and this fell short of the service. I would’ve expected. It was quite a stressful experience wondering if we were on the right coach.

    The cruise and crew were brilliant. The transfers from hotel to boat were really unhelpful. We had a coach from hotel to ferry, handed ferry tickets and that was it. When we got to the other side we actually had to ask a rep from another company where we should go. Apparently we had to go to I ❤️ Kefalonia. That’s all. We didn’t know what to do after that, if it wasn’t for another person enquiring at the actual boats we would have missed our trip completely. Suggest TUI give more information.
