ITHΑΚΗ · IONIC SEA
Everyone has their own way home.
In Odysseus' footsteps.
On the catamaran Bali 4.2
I'm with Anton Timokin.2 200 € per person
4 200 € - cabin for two
01 / OUR LITTLE ODISSEE
Cozy Greek towns are being replaced by wild bays. There's a new cave over the cape. There's feathers and olives on the table, and another reason to stay until sunset.
We're going to explore the Ionian Islands with our small team. From Lefkada to Kefalonia and the white rocks of Zakynthos. And then we go back to Ithaca, like Odyssey once did.
There'll be quiet parking lots and two full seaside days. You can be a catamaran, study with a captain, or just watch the seaside change.
02 / WHY the name 's on it
It's my way home.
The word it all starts with.
Anton Timokhin
Travel author and captain
When I was a kid, my mom told me myths about ancient Greece. I grew up with these stories: Iliad, Odyssey, islands, heroes, and the sea, which is always bigger than man. Seeing all this from the water has been my dream for a long time.
For some reason, I left Greece behind. And then Christopher Nolan's Odyssey came out, and the stars merged. It's my favorite movie to date. For me, it's all about the path: through the unknown, through encounters and trials, to what really matters.
I think everyone will find something in Odessa. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out before you go. I'll go with you, Captain, explore this amazing region, land on the quiet shores and try to get back to our Ithaca.
We have the sea, sails and a whole week.
We'll write the rest together.
The Odyssey (2026), directed by Christopher Nolan. The film is directed by Universal Pictures . Simon Dillon and GamesRadar+- What ? Used in the author's inspiration story. Sailing Man has nothing to do with the filmmakers.
03 / OVER and OVER
White stone, blue depth,
salt on the skin and long ones
Talking at the same table.
Navegaio, we'll see from the sea, weather permitting and access rules.

A coastal walk from Fiskardo is on time and convenience.

Another important step .
A crusted salad with feto, hot food, garlic, olives and day fish. In Greece, a good evening often begins with a simple question: "Let's order everything for everyone?"
We'll pick out small taverns by the water and try local. Between the islands, there's breakfast on board and coffee with a shape that changes itself.
04 / OUR SEAWAY
8–15 May 2027
About 165 to 185 nautical miles
Two long transitions .
The route is preliminary. The order of stops, distance and time of travel depends on the wind, the excitement, the seats in the ports and the captain's decisions. We go south with a stable weather window, and we return to Lefkada with supplies.
D-Marin Lefkas
We meet at the marina, we unpack things in the cabins, meet the catamaran and each other. After the instruction, we'll take a walk around Lefkada and have our first dinner together. We're staying at the pier today. It's supposed to be a quiet evening at the start of the trip.
Boat reception is usually in the afternoon. We'll confirm the exact time of settlement before the trip.
Leftada → north of Kefalonia
We're leaving the Lefkada Canal into the Ionian Sea. The first few miles under sail, the islands on the horizon, getting to know a boat in motion. By evening, Fiskardo: colorful facades, small shops and taverns right by the water.
If we get there early, anyone who wants to go to Assos can land. It's an extra walk, not a mandatory catamaran hook.
Fiscardo → Agios Nikolaos
Our first big day at sea. We'll go along eastern Kefalonia, then cross the strait to Zakynthos. It's time to feel the scale of the sea: sailing, standing at the helm, or getting a book. By evening we are planning a north-eastern port of Agios Nikolaos.
We leave early and only in the right weather window. We confirm the location in the port in advance; if the forecast is unfavorable, we stay at Kefalonia.
Blue caves · Skinarys cape · Navagio
The farthest point of our little odyssey. Along the northern shore, there are stone arches and a surprisingly blue water. If the sea permits, we will wrap around Skynari for the view of Navajo: a white rock wall, a narrow bay and a famous ship. We're going back to Agios Nikolaos.
We plan on seeing Navajo from the water. We're not promising landing and swimming here. There are access restrictions in place, which we'll check before we leave. We can't go inside the caves on the catamaran.
Zakintous → Vati, Ithaca
From the far southern point, we head for the island for which it all began. One more full-fledged transition, and the deep Bay of Vati welcomes us almost like a port from an old story. In the evening, we walk along the waterfront, find our table and talk about the way home.
If the forecast changes, we start returning earlier. It's more important to keep a good supply at sea than to complete a beautiful line in a program.
Ithaca → Atokos → Meghanisi
We're going out of Vati to the little Atocos. If the bay is open for a safe stop, we land on a quiet beach, where local cabanches are sometimes found. We swim at will, we look at the rocks, and suddenly this is where the cyclops was hiding? We're leaving Meganissi and the little tavern tonight.
We don't feed the animals and we don't worry them. When the tide is high, we choose the protected bays of Ithaca or Meganisi; we do not guarantee a meeting with the Kabanchis.
Meganisi → D-Marin Lefkas
A short transition gives you time to swim in the weather again and calmly practice your maneuvers. We're going back to the base with supplies to refuel and deliver the boat. In the evening, a table, pictures and the same conversation: Where are we going next?
We plan to return in the afternoon, before the charter company's deadline. We don't take this stock with long stops.
Lefty · road home
We'll pack up, say goodbye to the catamaran and head for Preveza or Athens. The Odyssey is over, but the sense of distance, new people and your own Ithaca will stay with you.
The time of displacement and transfer shall be notified after the charter documents have been confirmed. We'll arrange the return flights in advance.
In bad weather, we'll replace Zakynthos with the bays of Kefalonia, Itaki and Meganissi. Sami, a beach walk to Assos, quiet parking and more time on the islands will keep the mood of the week. The distance always depends on the conditions.
05 / Our Home in the Sea
A spacious sailing catamaran.
Common table, separate cabins
and the sea on both sides.
Shutting down on board

A large common table, panoramic windows and a signature Bali elevator door: the salon opens to the sea.
A spacious nasal zone for breakfast, conversation and the same look forward to the next island.
The sea around, the horizon line, and a convenient spot next to the captain. The easiest way to feel the road.
The BALI 4.2

07 / THE WAY to the sea
Start and finish is D-Marin Lefkas.
The left bank is connected to the mainland by a bridge:
I don't need a steam train to transfer.
The nearest airport is about 17 km from the marina. It's usually about half an hour in the car. It's a convenient option if you find a suitable seasonal flight.
The time is approximate; it depends on the road and traffic.More flight options, then about 5-6 hours in a car with stopping stops. It's convenient to arrive the day before, May 7, and leave for Lefkada in the morning.
Let's help coordinate the road with the other participants.May 8 - settlement and acquaintance. May 14th we return to the base, May 15th morning we release the catamaran and head to the airports.
We'll confirm the exact time with the charter company.08 / A LOT of important things
I'm not going to. Anton is the captain of this expedition. Explain the rules of life on board and safety, show you how it's done. You can take part in the management if you want.
We leave time for walks and a common table in the parking lots. At the same time, Zakynthos makes the route a real sea voyage: two days will take about 7-9 hours. If you don't like long transitions, write down and we'll discuss the format honestly before booking.
It's our planned high point, but the approach depends on the excitement, the wind, and the constraints. We promise to choose the safe path carefully. Landing on the beach and swimming on the ship are not included in the program.
We swim in the weather and the personal feeling: the sea of May can be lively. Get some wind and a warm layer for the evening. We'll send you a full list of things before the trip.
Participation - 2 200 € per person If you have a two-seater. If you book a two-bedroom at once, 4 200 € for the cabinThat's $2,100 a person.
