3Ithaca → Kefalonia West Coast: Wild & Windy
Best for: Adventurous first-timers ready for slightly bolder conditions
Suggested duration: 5–7 days
Sail west from Ithaca along Kefalonia’s western coast, known for rugged beauty and fewer crowds. Drop anchor at coves like Petani Bay and Makris Gialos, where emerald waters lap white pebbles. Travel south to Assos, a charming seaside village perched between hills.
This route is best in moderate Meltemi winds, so check forecasts and plan accordingly. It’s a fantastic mix of sailing and exploring.
Why it’s exciting: Untamed scenery, peaceful anchorages, and hidden gems.
