verified

verified
Explore the finest beaches in the Greek Islands at sister islands Paxos and Antipaxos, swimming in translucent waters and walking along pure white sand.
verified
Take a dip near private islands seldom seen, like Skorpios – once home to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – and Atokos – uninhabited except by a few wandering goats.
verified
Explore the seaside villages, hospitable locals, glittering bays, lush verdant hills and warm tavernas of Meganisi, Kastos, Kalamos and Ithaca – all at the desired pace of your group and friendly skipper.
Is this trip right for you?
verified
As the majority of this trip takes place on a sailing boat, you’ll need to feel comfortable with moving about the vessel, including the use of stairs and ladders. The sailing boats will experience some roll and pitch in windier conditions (which are quite rare for Ionian waters). However, your skipper will use the sails and the force of the wind as natural stabilisers. In the event of unsafe weather conditions, the sailing will not go ahead
verified
Our yachts have a small Zodiac on board, which is used to transport travellers to shore if we need to anchor in the bay. However, we will most often overnight in the small marinas on each island we visit, so the Zodiacs aren’t used. Zodiacs can sometimes be awkward to climb in and out of, but a sense of humour and a can-do attitude are all you need.
verified
This is an adventure on board a real yacht, which means living spaces, cabins, bathrooms and showers need to be shared with other passengers. Sleeping quarters can be quite compact, but you will be spending the majority of your time above board in the open air.

ACCOMMODATION ONBOARD THIS SAILING YACHT
verified
This trip is accommodated entirely on board a yacht of 51.2ft It is equipped with 2 double share cabins, 2 twin bunk cabins and 4 shared bathrooms with showers. Our boats are real yachts and this is a real sailing trip. Yachts are designed to keep sleeping areas to the absolute minimum of space, while maximising common areas as much as possible.
verified
Rooms are allocated on arrival by our skipper according to group composition, which means it is not possible to reserve or guarantee any specific berth or cabin. Single passengers will be paired up with another passenger of the same gender, this may mean sharing a double cabin with a double mattress. Everyone including the skipper shares the bathrooms on board.
verified
While not everyone may feel entirely comfortable living in such close quarters, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort from cramped living conditions is more than made up for by the whole experience.
verified
MINIMUM AGE:
verified
The minimum age on this trip is 15. Please note that triple cabins are not available. If travelling with a child, the child will need to share with one of the adults, and the other adult will share with another adult passenger, or purchase a single supplement.

SNORKELLING
verified
There are many opportunities for snorkelling during this trip. Diving masks, snorkels and fins are provided onboard the yacht and are for use by all passengers. They are disinfected prior to use. Some customers may prefer to bring their own diving mask and snorkel from home and just use the fins available on board.
verified
TRIP KITTY:
verified
On this trip we highly recommend that you contribute to a kitty of EUR100 per person. The kitty is an on-ground payment put into a central fund managed by travellers. It helps fund for breakfast and lunch on the boat and other small items such as ice, water, snacks and drinks. Travellers are responsible for the preparation of these meals onboard and to shop at port where supermarkets are often very close to the mooring. Kitty amounts are subject to change to reflect local price increases. On day 1, the skipper will talk through the kitty and how it will be managed (by yourself or fellow travellers) The kitty will be collected when you arrive at the welcome meeting or in stages throughout your trip.
verified
** Please note, the kitty amount should be used as a guide. More than likely you will not spend the full amount recommended however it's advisable to budget for this amount **

The best way to explore the Greek islands! We visited a variety of islands, swam in unforgettable spots, and enjoyed amazing local food. Everything was perfectly organized, and our skipper Loukas knew all the hidden gems. His expertise made the trip worry-free and a dream sailing experience. Highly recommended!

Our cruise was life changing! Lukas, our skipper had the correct balance of solitude when concentrating and then humorous interaction! Great Spotify collection and excellent whistling! Swimming & scenery was stunning. Evening dinners were delicious and engaging. We have never sailed before and it was brilliant!

Highly recommend this experience. It was a new adventure to sail the Ionians. We had an excellent group from the UK and Australia. The sites and swimming stops were wonderful. We really lucked out with our skipper, Lukas. He was an excellent guide and super knowledgeable. He also had impeccable taste in music. My husband and I had a phenomenal time. We can’t wait to do a sailing excursion again.
Lukas, if I could leave you 11 stars I would. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️

Sailing from Kefalonia to Corfu. Couldn't have asked for a better group of travellers whom we did not know before our trip. We had 5 on our trip plus our fantastic Crew - Lucas. We were in good hands and had so much fun. Sunny days and beautiful scenery. What more could you ask for in a holiday and to just sit back and enjoy!

Having just been on the Greek sailing trip I thoroughly recommend it. Going with intrepid is a completely different experience from the large tour operators because you can feel more like a local but have the fantastic experience of their carefully chosen leaders. This is the only company I choose now because I trust them to make my holiday fantastic but also that they will ensure the locals get some business without harming the environment

Overall a great trip with a good group of people. I would highly recommend for those wanting to visit some less touristy islands and experience some of the best Greek food there is and enjoy swimming right off the boat in crystal clear waters.

Getting a taste of the beautiful Ionian Islands was a special thing. Loukas is an excellent skipper.
I'd choose a little cooller time of year to sail, as with above averages of 35+ degrees late July/Aug, I personally found it too hot during the day to explore the islands we berthed at and would have liked to have done more otherwise.
