  • Days 1-2

    Corfu

    Start in Kerkyra (Corfu's main town) and stay in the Old Town area. You'll find great restaurants and historic sites right at your doorstep. The streets can be tricky to navigate, so download an offline map beforehand. Start your first full day at the UNESCO-listed Old Fortress to beat the crowds and avoid midday heat. In the afternoon, head to Paleokastritsa Beach for a swim. Bring water shoes since the shore is rocky, but the water is incredibly clear.

    
  • Day 3

    Corfu to Ithaca

    The ferry to Ithaca takes about 4 hours. Take motion sickness tablets if needed since the sea can get rough, especially in the afternoon. Once you reach Vathy, Ithaca's main port, stop at one of the waterfront tavernas and try the local bourdeto fish stew.

    
  • Day 4

    Ithaca

    Start your day in the northern part of Homer's legendary island before it gets too hot. The walk to Odysseus's Cave takes about 40 minutes on uneven ground, so wear good shoes. End your day in Kioni village where you can take beautiful sunset photos of traditional stone houses leading down to the harbor.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Kefalonia

    The ferry to Kefalonia is about 1.5 hours. Stay in Argostoli or Skala for convenient access to everything. Get to Myrtos Beach before 10 AM to find parking. Plan your Melissani Cave visit for early afternoon when the sunlight makes the water look magical. A recent visitor said: "The underground lake at Melissani is otherworldly, but book your boat tour in advance – lines can stretch to 2 hours in peak season."

    
  • Days 7-8

    Zakynthos

    Take the 1.5-hour ferry to Zakynthos. Visit the Navagio Beach viewpoint early for the best photos and to avoid tour buses. Book a morning boat tour to the Blue Caves and Navagio Beach from Agios Nikolaos port when the sea is calmer and visibility is better for swimming.

    
  • Day 9

    Leave from Zakynthos Airport

    Try to book afternoon flights since morning fog can cause delays. Get to the airport 2.5 hours before international flights as the small airport gets crowded quickly.
