Ionian Sea: Private Cruise to Parga & Hidden Beaches

This is a fully private 4-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. Parga is one of the most distinctive towns on the Greek mainland — a cascade of pastel houses tumbling down to a harbour, watched over by a Venetian castle and flanked by some of the best beaches on the Ionian coast. Departing from Arillas Harbor (complimentary transfer from Elix Hotel/Karavostasi), the route stops at Beretiniko — a boat-access-only cove with crystal-clear water — then Sarakiniko and Agios Sostis beaches, before reaching Valtos for a longer swim. The cruise finishes in Parga Town with free time to explore the old town, climb to the Venetian Castle, or visit the French fortress on the islet of Panagia. Operates aboard our Jeanneau Cap Camarat 7.5cc — 25ft, 250HP Suzuki, up to 8 guests.
