THE ROUTE

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.

THE NATURAL WONDERS

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.
