A fantastic way to spend one of your days in Kefalonia!
Choosing daily cruises is the best way to relax under the sun or the shade and soak up the amazing views of the most stunning coastlines of the Ionian Sea. Take great pictures and make long-lasting memories from your trip to Kefalonia!
The Palikisianos family, one of the few original remaining families of Fiskardo origin, have a long tradition in seafaring dating back to 1935. Captain Christos, the grandfather of Captain Gerasimos (current captain), was carrying passengers and various cargo along the channel between Fiskardo, Ithaca and Lefkas using a small Single mast wooden boat! His only aid, Captain Dionisis, is his son. Captain Dionisis being a visionary and driven by his love for his homeland “Kefalonia” where he grew up, and of course, his love for the sea, took matters into hand and went one step forward…
If you want to go on a daily cruise around the island or visit the nearby islands, have a look at the Romantika, timetable and routes leaving from Agia Efimia harbour every morning.
