Lefkas route

During the season, two Lefkas routes are sailed sometimes by one flotilla, sometimes by two flotillas simultaneously. When two flotillas are active, each sails a different route and they switch routes after one week. The Lefkas routes are sailed throughout the entire season. During specials and 2-week trips, deviations may occur. This ensures that every week remains unique and the itinerary may vary.

From Sivota, we sail to various possible destinations in the Ionian Sea. The exact places visited depend on route planning, weather conditions, and the composition of the flotilla.

The destinations below provide an impression of the charming harbors and bays we may visit during the week.
