Details

Located on the sun-soaked shores of Perigiali in Greece’s Ionian Islands, ΙΟΝΙΟΝ MARINE offers an exceptional way to experience the crystalline waters, hidden coves, and secret beaches that define this striking maritime region. The centerpiece of their fleet is the IONION 9, a sleek 30HP motorboat designed to combine agility with comfort for all-day excursions around Lefkada, Skorpios, and Meganisi. This trip isn’t just a boat ride; it’s a tailored getaway on the Ionian Sea, blending hands-on navigation with enchanting stops where time slows.

Perigiali serves as the perfect launchpad. The nearby coastlines feature dramatic limestone cliffs shaped by millennia, quiet bays only accessible by water, and sandy stretches framed by lush Mediterranean foliage. The surrounding islands carry layers of history and natural beauty. Skorpios, once the private island of the Onassis family, remains a place of silent exclusivity backed by sapphire waters. Meganisi offers tranquil villages and unspoiled coves where you can swim beneath towering pines or dine on fresh, locally caught seafood.

ΙΟΝΙΟΝ MARINE’s skilled team guides each journey with attention to safety and a genuine respect for the sea. Along the way, they share a spread of traditional Greek cuisine—a feast of olives, fresh cheeses, herbs, and grilled fish—highlighting the region’s flavors. This intimate experience fosters connection, whether you’re traveling with family or friends looking to carve out a day of discovery and relaxation.

In a destination famous for turquoise waters and coastal charm, ΙΟΝΙΟΝ MARINE’s IONION 9 motorboat trip stands out by bringing visitors closer to the rugged, less-traveled side of the Ionian Islands. It’s a day on the water that balances spirited adventure with the ease of Greek island living, promising memories anchored in both nature and culture.
