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.

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, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Gibraltar, Canary Islands and then across the Atlantic Ocean.
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 :)
