Day 1 – Port, maritime memory and a swim at Zepaga

10:00–21:00 Easy walks and a beach break

Discover the places linked to Inousses’ seafaring tradition and end the day by the sea.

10:00

Egnoussa Port and the Mermaid Statue

Set aside about 45 minutes for the harbor, watching the boat traffic and the layout of the small settlement around the quay. Head to the Mermaid Statue for a short stop and a few photos; from the port, the center is easy to explore on foot. The walk has no entrance fee; allow for any personal expenses for a drink or snack.

If you arrive by ferry, check the connecting times in advance: this itinerary is designed for a full day on the island.

11:15

Oinousses Maritime Museum

From the port, reach the museum on foot in a few minutes and plan about an hour for the visit. Focus on the objects and materials on display that tell the story of seafaring and the island’s relationship with the sea. The ticket, if any, may cost about 0–5 EUR: check the official website for up-to-date information on access, prices, and tour availability.

Do not rely on assumed opening hours: check the official information before planning your day.

13:00

Agios Nikolaos Church

Continue on foot from the museum to the church, allowing about 30–45 minutes for the stop and to observe the building and the details visible from outside. If you find the building accessible, enter discreetly and with respect for any religious services; there is no need to expect an entrance fee. After the visit, take a lunch break in the village: a simple meal can cost roughly 12–25 EUR per person, depending on the place and your choices.

Respectful clothing and quiet behavior are recommended in places of worship.

16:00

Zepaga Beach

Reach Zepaga from the center on foot if the route suits the day’s conditions; allow roughly 20–40 minutes, or ask in the village if a local transfer is available. Spend the afternoon swimming and relaxing, bringing water, sunscreen, and everything you need: facilities and accessibility may vary. Beach access may be free, while any transport or purchases are at the visitor’s expense; return to the village before dinner, for which you can budget about 15–30 EUR for an evening meal.

Ask locally to confirm the route and sea conditions; do not assume beach facilities are available.

Practical tips

  • Check the official information for the Oinousses Maritime Museum before departure for access and tickets.
  • Check in town the most practical route to Zepaga and the options for local transport.
  • Bring water, a hat, and sunscreen, especially for time spent at the beach.
  • If the day depends on a ferry, leave some buffer for getting around and double-check the updated schedules.
