Ionian Sea: Private Cruise to Syvota Islands & Blue Lagoon

5.0
(4 reviews)

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This is a fully private 3-hour cruise — no shared groups, no fixed itinerary. The price covers your entire group (up to 8 guests), not per person. Just your party, your skipper, and the Ionian Sea entirely to yourselves.

Syvota is one of those places that stops you mid-sentence — locals call it the Caribbean of Greece, and it's easy to see why. Departing from Arillas Harbor (complimentary transfer from Elix Hotel/Karavostasi), the route takes you to Bella Vraka Beach, a narrow strip of white sand connecting the islet of Mourtemeno to the mainland, the Blue Lagoon for swimming and snorkelling, and the dramatic Papanikolis Cave — a sea cave once used as a WWII submarine hideout. Time permitting, a coffee stop in Syvota village completes the experience.

Operates aboard our Jeanneau Cap Camarat 7.5cc — 25ft, 250HP Suzuki, up to 8 guests.

    Between the verdant islets of Mavro Oros, Ayios Nikolaos and Bella Vraka, the area is brimming with beautiful beaches and intimate coves, where the striking blue of the Ionian meets the lush greenery ashore, like a fjord embraced by the sea. Don’t miss out on visiting the famous beaches of Megali Ammos and Mikri Ammos, as well as Bella Vraka and Blue Lagoon (Pisina). As most of the coastline of mainland Greece, the green vegetation of Sivota tries to reach the Ionian Sea, which is often separated by small sandy strips. In Sivota, there are several amazing small beaches like Zeri, Galikos Ormos, Bello Vrako, Zavia and the exotic bay of “Pishina”, where a part of the famous film “Blue Lagoon” was filmed.
