About the experience

Set sail on the ultimate Ionian Sea adventure with The Forgotten Islands Experience, a premium cruise designed for travelers who want to experience the hidden beauty, legendary locations, and crystal clear waters of the Ionian Islands in one unforgettable day. Combining iconic destinations, secret beaches, authentic island life, and breathtaking swimming stops, this experience offers the perfect balance of relaxation, exploration, and adventure.

Our journey begins from Nidri as we cruise across the turquoise waters toward the world-famous island of Skorpios, once the private paradise of Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Here, guests enjoy a swimming stop at the legendary beach where the iconic photograph of Jackie O swimming was taken, surrounded by emerald waters and lush scenery that made Skorpios famous worldwide. We then continue toward the spectacular Papanikolis Cave on Meganisi, one of the largest sea caves in Greece, where guests can admire the dramatic natural landscape and, depending on conditions, enjoy an additional swim stop in the crystal-clear waters nearby.

The adventure continues to Atokos Island, home to one of the most photographed beaches in the Ionian Sea. Famous for its exotic turquoise waters and the friendly wild pigs that often swim and relax along the shore, Atokos offers a truly unique and unforgettable experience that has become a highlight for visitors from around the world. From there, we cruise to the charming island of Kastos, a hidden Ionian gem known for its peaceful atmosphere, traditional harbor, and unbelievably crystal-clear waters that look straight out of a postcard.

Next, we visit the stunning Asprogiali Beach on Kalamos Island, where white pebbles, dramatic green landscapes, and vibrant blue waters create the perfect setting for swimming and relaxation. Guests then have time to enjoy lunch at a traditional seaside taverna, experiencing authentic Greek island hospitality and local flavors in a beautiful waterfront setting.

Before returning to Nidri, we make one final stop at Meganisi for a last refreshing swim in the warm Ionian waters, the perfect ending to a day filled with unforgettable scenery, hidden paradises, and unique experiences. The Forgotten Islands Experience is not simply a boat trip… it is a premium journey through the most magical corners of the Ionian Sea.

We had an incredible time on our boat trip! Everything was perfect from start to finish – the journey itself was smooth and enjoyable, and our skipper was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel comfortable and welcomed, and even took us to a beautiful taverna that we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. We had so much fun and felt truly taken care of the entire time. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely book again!

Excellent communication with Thanos on the Click Boat app. The boat was just as described. We had an excellent day swimming in incredible little coves that Thanos knew about. The kids loved the Pig Island - Atokos and the adults loved hearing about the history of Onassis / Skorpios. He also recommended Varka restaurant for a traditional Greek meal right on the beach which was amazing. Don’t hesitate in booking this! Highly recommended! Thanks Thanos!!!

A huge thank you to Thanos for this wonderful day. He was kind enough to pick us up in Sivota Bay to take us to discover the coves, caves, beaches and paradise islands in the area. A special mention for the wild pigs of Atakos and the photos he took of our small (but noisy) family!
