Adventure Tips
Sun Protection is Essential
The Ionian sun can be intense; bring high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to stay protected during your half-day at sea.
Stay Hydrated
Carry plenty of water aboard, especially in warmer months, as the combination of sun and sea air can quickly dehydrate you.
Wear Non-Slip Footwear
Boat decks and rocky beaches can be slippery; sturdy, non-slip shoes will ensure safe movement during beach stops.
Bring Waterproof Phone or Camera
Snorkeling and sea sports opportunities abound; a waterproof device protects your gear while capturing memorable moments.
