If you have plenty of time, be sure to check out the Byzantine Museum, as well, which is located in the heart of Zante’s main town, the national Marine Park and the famous Lagana Bay strip!

Port information


The ports we dock at in Ag. Nikolaos, Ag. Efimia, Ithaca, Fiskardo, Meganisi, Nydri (Lefkada) and Zante are public. The only exception is the private port of Meganisi. This means that all ports we visit are on a first come, first served basis.


Our captains are therefore unable to reserve a berth in advance. Therefore, the earlier we arrive at each port, the more likely we are to find a berth. If there is no availability, you will anchor in a mutually agreed, secluded bay in the area.
