Day Cruise In Kefalonia,Ithaka, Lefkada Beaches - Eptanisos boat
Overview
Cruising the Ionian Sea to the most beautiful beaches of Lefkada island, Porto Katsiki, and Egremni where you will have some time to spend swimming in their majestic waters.
Island hopping including colorful Fiskardo on Kefalonia island. Regarded as the "diamond of the Ionian". Fiscardo was the only area of Kefalonia to not be destroyed by the catastrophic earthquake of 1953 thus having kept its traditional colors. Here having a cup of coffee or tea is something special in itself - and who knows - maybe you find yourself sitting next to a celebrity!
Departing Fiscardo heads for the famous Cave of Papanikolis, on Meganisi island, a unique afternoon swim on Aristotle Onassis' Scorpios island, and a small tour around the islets of Sparti and Kastri.
Cruising back into Nidri, we will pass another private island, Madouri - of the Greek National poet, Aristotelis Valaoritis, bringing an end to this wonderful cruise.

ツアー自体に問題はありませんでした。クルーズはよかったです。 ただ、受け付けがうまく行かず、危うく船に乗り損ねそうになりました。 待ち合わせ時間に待ち合わせの場所に行っても、誰かが待っているわけではありません。待ち合わせ場所であるオナシス像の前に並ぶ5、6隻の船に片っ端に聞きましたが、どこの船からも知らないと言われました。ツアーの名前、予約番号、ツアー会社の名前を伝えても、船の名前は何だ？と聞かれたり、こちらのツアー会社は知らないと言われました。 トリップアドバイザーなら安心だと思い申し込みましたが、ツアー会社を通さず直接船会社に申し込んだ方がいいと思います。 私たちの場合、幸いツアー会...
ツアー自体に問題はありませんでした。クルーズはよかったです。 ただ、受け付けがうまく行かず、危うく船に乗り損ねそうになりました。 待ち合わせ時間に待ち合わせの場所に行っても、誰かが待っているわけではありません。待ち合わせ場所であるオナシス像の前に並ぶ5、6隻の船に片っ端に聞きましたが、どこの船からも知らないと言われました。ツアーの名前、予約番号、ツアー会社の名前を伝えても、船の名前は何だ？と聞かれたり、こちらのツアー会社は知らないと言われました。 トリップアドバイザーなら安心だと思い申し込みましたが、ツアー会社を通さず直接船会社に申し込んだ方がいいと思います。 私たちの場合、幸いツアー会社の人と連絡が取れ、たまたま前にいた人(船の船長？)に話して、その船であったことが分かりましたが、危うく船に乗り損ねそうになりました。旅先で言葉のやり取りもままならず、受け入れがうまくいかないなんて本末転倒です。評価を0にしたいところですが、ツアーの中身自体はよかったのでその船旅に敬意を込めてkerrykosmar

É stato un mezzo incubo, non per l'itinerario che ha seguito ma per due motivi che ora spiego. Il primo é che hanno caricato una marea di persone a Nidri e come se non bastasse altri circa 100( contati) li hanno caricati a Vassiliki. Sembrava una carretta del mare ad un certo punto. Girata la punta del faro di Lefkada con il mare mosso abbiamo sofferto tantissimo.... La cosa peggiore é stata la pulizia. Non mi dilungo troppo, dico solo che il tipo che alle 12.30 si é apprestato a preparare i piatti miseri che erano previsti nel biglietto si é infilato i calzini e le scarpette davanti a noi e poi senza lavarsi le mani si é subito messo a prendere il pane per metterlo nei piatti e comporli per passarli a noi clienti. Per non dire che questi ticket più volte utilizzati venivano presi con le stessi mani che mettevano le patatine nei piatti. É sembrato un incubo, e quando abbiamo chiesto di farci fare i piatti dalla signorina invece che da questo troglodita ci hanno cacciato in malo modo. La cosa positiva é che con questa mini crociera vedi in una giornata posti che altrimenti non vedresti in una giornata....
