Introduction
Kefalonia is arguably one of Greece’s prettiest islands, with its jagged coastline, turquoise waters, and quaint villages. But the best way to truly understand its natural beauty is to look at it from the sea. “It’s like having your own personal boat and crew for a day!” An Artemis private round-trip cruise to your chosen destinations ensures that you discover the hidden beaches and swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. A road trip to remember, whether you’re with friends, family, or your significant other, throughout this unforgettable tour of rest, activity, and authentic Greek hospitality.
Adrift on a Remembrance Journey
Start your picturesque day at 10:00 AM as you meet at the port of Argostoli. When you leave, the sweeping vista of the city gently recedes in your rear-view mirror and is replaced by open water and tranquility. The boat sails toward your first destination, a beach called the White Rocks. It’s this dramatic coast that this stunning region has to offer, with untouched shorelines of vivid turquoise water meeting towering cliffs. The quiet bays here are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or even just bobbing up and down in the calm water as the sun kisses your skin.
Arriving at and exploring White Rocks, we continued onto Rabbit Island/Vardiani. It’s a cute little unoccupied oasis with its tiny chapel ruins and pretty landscapes. Guests can savor a delicious, home-cooked, Greek lunch prepared by the crew on lookout and filled with local tastes, which they can wash down with unlimited access to wine and soft drinks. It is the best way to slow down and experience the island life.
The last stop brings you to Xi Beach, one of Kefalonia’s most popular places. Unlike other beaches found on the island, Xi has reddish-brown sand and natural clay that make for dramatic scenery. During the visit of many visitors treat themselves to a natural clay bath, covering their body with nutrient-rich mud and showering it off in the sea for youthful revitalisation. By the time the sun sets in the late afternoon, we arrive back in Argostoli with a wonderful memory of the Ionian coastline.
