10 Things to Do on a One-Week Escape on Katja

Ever wonder what you’ll actually do on a week-long sailing catamaran tour in the Southern Ionian Sea? Will you get bored or stir-crazy in a cabin?

Don’t worry, it’s super unlikely.

To give you a real feel for our skippered catamaran tours from Lefkada, here are 10 things we highly recommend doing.

Our 10 highlights

Take Time Out to Read a Book

Curl up in our spacious shaded cockpit with your favorite novel. The catamaran’s gentle rock lulls you right in. No stress, no rush, just you, the pages, and the sea’s whisper.

Wake Up to a Beautiful Sunrise

Rise early and watch the horizon light up in pinks and golds from the foredeck. Enjoy some freshly brewed coffee and watch the world around you wake up. Pure magic to kick off your day.

Swim Before Breakfast

Jump into cool, refreshing waters straight off the boat before breakfast. It’s the perfect way to wake up your body and soul.

Snorkel in Crystal Clear Waters

Grab fins, mask, and snorkel to dive into the underwater world. Glide above reefs and rocks, watching the aquatic life unfold beneath you.

Marvel at the Stars in a Lonely Bay

Anchor with us in a secluded bay and look up at a sky full of stars. On clear nights, you might even spot the Milky Way.

Disconnect and Go with the Flow

Switch off your devices and let the catamaran’s rhythm take over. Let the skipper guide the way while you enjoy the simple pleasure of island hopping.

Relax and Sunbathe in the Nets

Stretch out on the forward nets, feeling the sun warm your skin as waves slip underneath. Just remember to apply plenty of sunscreen!

Discover the Best of Greek Food and Wines

Visit top local tavernas for fresh seafood, local specialties, and regional wines. Every bite celebrates the Ionian’s sun-kissed flavors.

Learn More About the Ionian Islands

Chat with the crew about Greek myths, history, and wildlife. The Ionian has a rich past and plenty of diverse plants and animals to discover.

Experience Sailing Close Up

Come to the helm, help set sails, or pick up some knots and sailing terms. Feel the wind’s power firsthand and connect with those Southern Ionian breezes.
