Things you will have wished you packed: 

  • Baby/Talcum powder - covering yourself in powder after rinsing off the salt is the only way to actually stay dry. stop that dampness itch & sleep like a baby no matter how hot it gets.

  • Sarongs & Kimonos - great even for the guys. Throwing one over your shoulders to hide from the sun, or a quick cover up for going ashore.


Where should you stop along the way?

Kalamos 

Just south East of Lefkada is ideal for ditching the crowds. 

"The other spots along our route had a few houses and a restaurant or two, but I dig being alone out here"

"We tried to combine seeing as much culture, small villages and some deserted areas as much as possible. There is nothing better than immersing yourself in a foreign place, but sometimes a deliciously empty bay of topaz water is all you need in life"

- Nikki Booth-Jones


Now, you're ready to rumble!

Keep your wits about you, remember to think for the ocean and always pick up litter not shells.
