October 3, 2025

We have just returned from a fabulous fortnight sailing the beautifully restored Tiki during the day and staying at the beautiful and comfortable Geni Garden apartments.

Our Lugger had everything we could wish for with a cool box, Bimini and all the safety equipment required. We headed out with a picnic most days and either anchored up or pulled up to a beach in a secluded bay to swim. The wind was light most days but we had several days with more exciting sailing. We sailed over to Little Vathi one day and managed to moor up and have a wander around the village- so pretty.

Being on a Lugger was a wonderful way to explore this area of the Ionian. The area is very mountainous and having this back drop to the crystal clear waters and blue sky was stunning.

There are 3 tavernas about 20 minutes walk from Geni Gardens which were all very good. In our second week we decided to explore further afield in the evenings and took the boat across the bay (5 minutes) and walked into Nidri. The restaurants and Tavernas we tried there were also very good and there is a lively night life. It was great to have a drink at one of the many places on the front and watch the world go by and the boats come and go.

We would like to say a big thanks to Sandra and her family for being so welcoming and we really enjoyed the baked goods we could order for the next day.

It was a magical fortnight and many thanks to Phil for all his advice and care, and all the work he puts into making sure you have the best time. We will definitely be back!
