Itinerary
Sailing from the modern hub of Lefkas Marina to the "Odyssean" landscapes of the southern Ionian allows the festival to connect modern digital art with ancient storytelling traditions. This is where the world's oldest stories were born, making it the most meaningful stage for contemporary filmmakers. This route offers a boutique festival experience that is impossible to replicate on land.
Lefkas Its central location makes it the perfect starting point for cruising to nearby islands like Meganisi, Ithaca, and Kefalonia. Lefkas Marina (also known as D-Marin Lefkas) is widely considered one of the most modern and well-equipped marinas in the Mediterranean. Since its opening in 2002, it has functioned almost as a "town within a town," offering high-end nautical services and Greek island hospitality. Accessibility: Lefkada is connected to the mainland by a small bridge, making the marina easily accessible by car. It is about a 20-minute drive from Aktion International Airport (PVK).
Atokos Remote golf + Movies + Afterparty
Located about 20 nautical miles southeast of Lefkas, this small, uninhabited island is a mandatory stop for anyone sailing the Ionian. It is privately owned by a Greek shipping magnate, but visitors are allowed to land on its beaches, provided they respect the environment. In recent years, Atokos has gained international fame as "Greece's Pig Island." A small population of friendly, semi-wild black pigs lives on the beach at One House Bay.
Sivota is a charming, horseshoe-shaped bay located on the southeastern coast of Lefkada island. It is one of the most popular overnight stops for yachts in the Ionian Sea. Picturesque and intimate, the village is nestled at the end of a deep "fjord-like" inlet surrounded by olive groves and green hills.
Vathy Nestled in one of the Mediterranean's most naturally sheltered bays, Vathy is the charming capital of Ithaca. Its colorful waterfront, elegant marina, boutique cafés, and authentic Greek tavernas create the perfect setting for relaxed afternoons, sunset gatherings, and unforgettable evenings by the sea.
Fiskardo is located at the northernmost tip of the island, it is widely considered the "Saint-Tropez of the Ionian”. Fiskardo is unique because it was one of the very few villages left almost entirely untouched by the devastating 1953 earthquake. Because of this, it retains its original Venetian architecture and aristocratic charm. You’ll find rows of two-story houses painted in vibrant ochre and terracotta, featuring elegant balconies and tiled roofs that date back centuries.
