Highlights
Tour the archaeological site of Delphi
Visit the largest of the Aeolian Islands, Lipari
Explore the largest of the Ionian Sea islands, Cephalonia
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Your luxurious super yacht, Emerald Azzurra, awaits you in Athens where you’ll embark on your adventure around the Ionian Sea.
The birthplace of western civilization, the Greek capital is steeped in history. Its magnificent Acropolis towers over the city, while the Parthenon and ancient Agora tell tales of a time when gods and goddesses called Athens home.
Day 2: Transit the Corinth Canal | Itea (Delphi), Greece
Witness the impressive engineering feat of the Corinth Canal, a key navigational route for over 2,000 years, as you sail towards Itea. Surrounded by rolling hills covered in olive trees, this waterfront town is also close to the archaeological site of Delphi.
Fiskardo is your gateway to the magical island of Cephalonia. The largest of the Ionian Sea islands, you’ll be struck by the unique biodiversity of its landscape, from to perfect turquoise lagoons to golden beaches, stretching on for miles.
The largest of the Aeolian Islands, Lipari exudes a rustic charm with a collection of colourful buildings lining its harbour and, in Quattrocchi, breathtaking ocean vistas.
Milky white cliffs topped with vibrant green forests welcome you to the idyllic island of Capri. Lying in the Gulf of Naples, its jaw-dropping natural beauty is complemented by its glitzy marina, lined with fellow luxury yachts.
Ponza may not carry the fanfare of its more illustrious neighbours but it’s one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Once a Roman prison island, today you’ll find sleepy surroundings and unspoiled nature.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
