Nice to meet you

Welcome aboard SeaStories.

SeaStories was born from a lifelong connection to Kefalonia and the Ionian Sea. We know these waters cove by cove: the hidden swimming spots, quiet beaches and local places that rarely make it onto a map. Choose one of our carefully planned private cruises or let us create a tailor-made route especially for you. However the day unfolds, our aim is simple: to share the island we call home and create a summer story you will hold onto for years.

“The most amazing day doing the Round of Kefalonia private cruise. Seastories is the cruise company to go with if you are searching for an authentic, yet very thought-through cruise. They knew all the hidden places. Flawless service.”
Gerasimos K. via Google
“Enjoyable from start to finish. The captain was very kind, friendly and easy to talk to, and everything was well organized. A special mention to the spinach pie they served, it was so good!”
