Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Smuggler's Cove, Only reached by boat Top of the island, 291 00 Greece

The boat leaves the port at 09.00 and will pass the residential area of Krioneri, the resort areas of Tsilivi, Alykanas and Alykes, up to Skinari, the most northern part of the island, where the lighthouse can be seen. Also just off the port of Agios Nicholas in Skinari, there is a small island in the shape of a turtle, officially belonging to the Vatican as it was not ceded to Greece along with the rest of the Ionian Islands in the 18th century. From this point the closest neighbouring island of Kefalonia can be seen.
Heading on to Smuggler's Cove, where the wreck of the ship "Panayiotis" can be seen, you'll stop for a wonderful swim in the lovely blue waters. The boat will anchor as close to the shore as is possible depending on sea conditions and, depending on the weather, and anyone wishing to go to the beach may do so. The beach is not sandy, but instead is covered in small white pebbles.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Blue Caves, Agios Nikolaos, Volimes Greece

The boat will then continue on its way and sail to the famous Blue Caves, discovered in 1897. The name comes from the colour of the water, a gorgeous mixture of aquamarine and turquoise. This area is also the deepest part of the Mediterranean called the "Well of Ionysos", which is about 4,500 metres deep. Here if the weather is favourable there will be another swim stop, but it is also a perfect photo opportunity. If it is not possible to swim here then an alternative location will be found by the captain, weather permitting.

Duration: 30 minutes
