31. My favourite Greek Island | sailing Ithaca | sail Greece | Lefkas Canal | Paradise
This week on Kawai we leave Preveza and navigate through Lefkas canal. We are the last in line as we enter the 3.5 mile canal and enjoy watching the locals fishing on the banks of the canal.
We enjoy a nice downwind sail to our next anchorage, Vlikho Bay. This large bay is full of liveaboards and is well protected from the wind and swell. We use the time to freshen up, enjoy some local hospitality however can't swim due to the large jellyfish population in the bay.
The next destination is Ithaca. We get some great winds and sail the 20nm, with the wind slightly ahead of the beam, Kawai loves this wind angle and we love this sail. Ithaca is my favourite Greek Island and has amazing beaches, lush vegetation and some stunning anchorages.
We visit Sarakiniko Beach, Filiatro Beach, Tilemakos Beach and Skhoinos Beach. We spend most of our time in Filiatro Bay, enjoy swimming, hiking, exploring and cleaning the local beaches. Unfortunately the beaches have a variety of litter so we spend a couple of hours returning them to their natural beauty.
Our time at Filiatro comes to an end as the weather takes a turn for the worse and we sail to the sheltered bay of Vathy, the main harbour in Ithaca.
About us:
Our names are Jason and Tracey and we traded our house, cars, business, job and security for freedom, adventure, travel and living simply amongst nature and the seas on our 45 foot Hanse 445 sailing boat, Kawai.
We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the next year we hope to sail to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia.
Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :)

16. Sailing to magical Ithaca and Meganisi in the Ionian | Sailing the Greek Islands | Best beaches
After completing our crossing of the Cyclades we enter the Ionian, where life slows down. We enjoy some light wind sailing and find a beautiful anchorage in Ithaca called Skhoinos. We take in the beauty before searching for the best beaches on Ithaca. We stumble across a beautiful deserted beach, which has crystal clear water, it’s our type of beach. Unfortunately the beach bar is closed, but it allows for only the sound of the waves lapping the sand, perfection.
We continue our hike through the mountains and see more perfect coves around the island. We hike towards Vathy, the capital of Ithaca, which was destroyed by an Earthquake in 1953. It’s rebuilt houses are colorful, charming and still in the traditional style. We explore Ithaca for 1 week and love our time, it’s definitely worth visiting with many beautiful bays to anchor in.
The Ionian has so much to see and do, so we organised Kawai and set sail for Meganisi. With 7-10 knots of wind we sailed slowly up the coast, stopping in along the way for Jase to check out the second largest Sea cave in Greece ‘Papa Nicolis’. With rumors that it hid a Greek mini submarine during the Second World War he wanted to take a closer look.
Meganisi has many anchorages at the Northern end of the Island. We tied off to the shore in Abelaki bay as it was close to Vathy. We needed to buy provisions and Vathy had 3 small supermarkets that had enough fruit and vegetables to top up the fridge. We were also lucky that the owner of Palmos supermarket delivered to Kawai all our supplies and even allowed us to fill our water containers at his store. We still had time to explore the surrounding towns of Katomeri and Spartakhori where we met some of the friendliest and most welcoming people on our entire trip through Greece.

Our Greek Yacht Tour | Sailing The Ionian with Medsailors
Our week of sailing the Ionian islands in Greece has begun here in the beautiful isle of Corfu.
Before managing to actually leave Corfu we spent an extra night in the port from some high winds, but that's fine as we got to have an incredible dinner at a local Greek restaurant and in full Medsailors tradition - pretended it was someone's birthday.
The next day we hit the sea as we made our way to the tip of Corfu to Agios Stefanos where we spent the night.

Ionian - Lefkas Flotilla Holiday
*** ***
The Ionian is without question the “birthplace” of flotilla sailing, and with good reason. Gentle breezes, secure anchorages and iridescent waters make this the ideal flotilla holiday destination. The protected waters are ideal for less experienced sailors as well as those more experienced sailors looking to relax and unwind.
Our Lefkas Ionian flotilla holidays sail from our new base on Lefkas, on the East side of the island and visits Meganisi, Kefalonia and Ithaka as well as some of the smaller and more traditional islands and mainland destinations.
Each island, harbour and town has its own character, from cosmopolitan Fiskardho, traditional Lefkas to sleepy Kastos and the pine-clad bays of Meganisi, you are spoilt for choice and there is something for everyone on an Ionian flotilla holiday.
