Return
Starting and finishing in Corfu, cycle some of the most beautiful spots in the Ionian Islands from the comfort of a traditional Green wooden boat, the Panagiota. Pedalling highlights include the famous islands of Ithaca, the home place of Odysseus, and Kefalonia, where Captain Corelli's Mandolin is set. Finish your trip on the smaller islands of Meganisi and Paxos, where you'll get a real feel for traditional Greek island life.
This tour has rides that can be demanding at times, but there is plenty of time to relax on the sundeck of your boat or swim from quiet beaches.
