While on this sailing holiday, there are plenty of activities to indulge in. Swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, explore charming harbour towns, and hike through lush landscapes. Each island offers unique attractions, from the famous Shipwreck Beach in Zante to the enchanting Melissani Cave in Kefalonia.
