5Lefkada → Atokos → Kalamos → Kastos: Secluded Island Chain

Best for: Off-the-beaten-path exploration
Suggested duration: 5–7 days

For sailors who want to escape crowds, this route threads through some of the Ionian’s least developed islands. Depart Lefkada and head to Atokos, an uninhabited nature reserve with stunning anchorages like Vrika Bay. Enjoy total peace, perfect swimming, and nature hikes ashore.

Next, sail to Kalamos — an island with forested hills and quiet fishing villages. Its sheltered coves make great overnight stops. Finally, visit Kastos, a tiny island with a relaxed port and excellent seafood.

Why it’s special: Minimal boat traffic, pristine anchorages, and authentic local character.
