From Λευκίμμη to Lakka — a first, scenic stop
The cruise’s first scheduled stop is Lakka Port on northern Paxos, a tranquil harbour ringed by green slopes and turquoise water where you’ll pause briefly to photograph the shoreline from deck.
Blue Caves: the Ionian’s luminous cliffs
A boat passage along Paxos’ north coast brings you to the Blue Caves, where sunlight on limestone converts the sea to vivid blue and offers an intimate encounter with sculpted rock formations.
Antipaxos’ Vrika Beach and Gaios’ harbour charm
Swim or relax on Antipaxos’ white sands at Vrika Beach, then finish with Gaios’ picture-book harbour — colorful houses, cafes and narrow streets ideal for a post-swim stroll or lunch ashore.
