Vathy

Spend about two hours at the port and in the center, walking along the waterfront and the narrow streets between the pale-colored houses; watch the moored boats and soak up the village atmosphere. If you are coming from Nydri, the ferry to Vathy takes around 25–30 minutes, but duration and fare vary depending on the service: budget roughly 4–10 € for a passenger crossing. For lunch, allow about 15–30 € per person, and check the ferry’s updated schedules and fares in advance on the operator’s official channels.

Leave some buffer time for connections and boarding; in summer, it is wise to check the service before you set off.

As a reference, a rented scooter can cost around 25–45 € per day and a beach umbrella with sunbeds around 10–25 €; availability and rates should be checked.

Papanikolis Cave

Reach the cave on an organized excursion or with an authorized boat, agreeing on the departure point and the length of the trip: from the departure port, the transfer can take approximately 20–45 minutes, depending on the route and boat. Allow about 45–60 minutes for the visit and enjoy the wide opening onto the sea and the light effects inside; actual entry depends on wave motion and safety conditions. Consider roughly 40–90 € per person for a boat excursion, varying by duration, type of boat, and included services.

Ask the operator whether the tour continues to Barbarezou and check sea conditions, availability, and rates before booking.

13:30

Barbarezou Beach

Continue by boat to the beach, or arrange in advance to return to shore and make the local transfer: timing and accessibility may vary depending on the boarding point and route conditions. Plan on about 3–4 hours to swim, rest, and have a packed lunch or eat at a nearby place you can reach in the area; bring water, sunscreen, and suitable shoes if the walk is over rough ground. Access to the beach may be free, while any services, transport, and refreshments involve additional estimated costs of 5–20 €.

Don’t assume there will be sun loungers, shade, or refreshment points: bring what you need with you and agree the return time with the boat.

10:00

Porto Spilia

Spend about 45–60 minutes at the port, observing the moorings, the coastline, and the small village that climbs up toward Spartochori. If you’re coming from Nidri, consider the ferry to Meganissi: duration and fare depend on the trip and the season; as a rough guide, expect about 3–8 € per person each way and check timetables and prices on the operator’s official channels. From Spilia, arrange the boat transfer to Kapali: the trip can take approximately 20–40 minutes, depending on the boat and sea conditions.

Agree in advance on the boarding point, return time, and transfer cost; alternatively, ask about the requirements for renting a boat.

12:00

Kapali Bay

Reach the bay by boat and allow about 3–4 hours to swim, rest, and admire the rocky coastline from the water; bring water, sunscreen, and suitable footwear for any pebble-strewn stretches. Access and landing conditions can change with the swell: follow the skipper’s instructions and agree on the return to Spilia before going ashore. The stop itself does not necessarily require a ticket, but transport may cost about 15–40 € per person for a boat transfer, or about 80–180 € for the daily rental of a small boat, fuel possibly excluded; ask for an updated quote.

Plan a picnic lunch here or head back to Spilia to eat; always leave a time buffer for the return journey.

10:00

Scorpios Island (circumnavigation)

Depart from a Meganissi landing point agreed with the rental company and reach Scorpios by boat: allow roughly 30–60 minutes of sailing each way, depending on the departure point and sea conditions. Set aside about 1–1,5 hours for the circumnavigation, taking in the island’s outline and coves from offshore without planning to go ashore; keep your distance and follow any instructions from the authorities and the captain. Renting a small boat can cost roughly 80–180 € per day, often with fuel charged separately; an organized excursion may have different per-person rates.

Check access and navigation rules before departure and confirm availability, conditions, and costs on the official website or directly with the operator.

Access and any mooring possibility should be checked on site: allow roughly 0–15 € for the stop, excluding any services, and return to the landing point with time to spare before sunset.

Bring reef shoes and a waterproof bag; if the sea or wind worsens, follow the rental operator’s instructions and skip unsafe sailing.

10:00

Belvedere of Spartochori

Reach Spartochori, the village above the port of Spilia, and wander through its narrow streets to the viewpoint to take in the harbor, the coastline, and the nearby islands. Allow about 60–90 minutes for the visit, including photo stops; if you arrive at Spilia by ferry from Nidri, expect an uphill stretch and check the local connections and route in advance.
