Like the idea of designing your own day at sea? Then these private yacht cruises are for you. Aboard a luxury vessel exclusively for you and your party, you'll have a captain and crew at your disposal to spend a few hours cruising the Ionian. What's more, there'll be beer, wine and snacks, too.
Your first point of call will be to meet your captain to decide on how you want to spend your time at sea. They'll recommend places for you to go according to your interests – whether you'd like snorkelling sites or swim stops at the best bays and beaches.
If you're staying in the south, you can choose to cruise by the sea caves on the Keri peninsula and do a spot of wildlife-watching – it's a major nesting ground for loggerhead turtles. Set sail from the north, and you can plot a course for Smuggler's Cove. This picture-postcard pebble beach comes with a surprise – it's home to a shipwreck from an alleged smuggler who ran ashore in 1980.
