A week on a catamaran from Lefkas (Lefkada) in the Ionian is the loop we publish: **Lefkada → Meganisi → Kalamos → Kastos → Ithaca (Kioni) → Kefalonia (Fiskardo)**, and back. That is 6 legs and about **61 nautical miles** in straight lines (our calculation from OpenStreetMap coordinates; you sail further). The longest leg is Kefalonia (Fiskardo) to Lefkada, about 23.0 nm. Quay and marina fees on this route are **not verified**.

*Checked 2026-11-03. Lefkas and Lefkada are the same island; Lefkas Marina is the usual charter name for the base. This route is our editorial loop, not an official itinerary and not a navigation plan. The same stops, with the method and the weather, are on the [7-day Ionian itinerary from Lefkada](https://catamaranindex.com/itineraries/greece/).*
