6Lefkada → Meganisi → Ithaca: Hidden Gems Loop
Best for: Nature lovers and quiet harbors
Suggested duration: 5–7 days
Begin from Lefkada, one of the only Ionian islands connected to the mainland by a bridge — ideal if you’re flying into Preveza (near Aktion Airport). After provisioning in Lefkada Town or Nydri, head south to Meganisi, a peaceful island with gorgeous bays.
Moor at Vathi Bay, a natural haven surrounded by steep hills. From here, you can explore other nearby coves like Kalamitsi and Porto Spilia. Then sail further south to Ithaca, famed as the home of Odysseus. Visit the charming harbor of Vathy, wander narrow paths through olive groves, and enjoy fresh seafood at waterside tavernas.
