Route map

This cruise will take you to see the beautiful nature of our Lefkada and it´s surrounding islands! You will get to enjoy your time both on Meganisi and Skorpios islands, but also on the mainland of Greece.

Our 4 stops of the day are carefully thought of for the best possible experience. The route is planned to avoid long distances, so even the smallest family members feel comfortable on the cruise! We also do our best to avoid other tour boats and crowds.

All 4 stops offer the possibility for swimming in crystal waters, but if you are more into chilling and sunbathing, that´s perfectly fine too! Everyone gets to cruise in their own way.

WHERE DO WE GO?

1 . Cave of Papanikolis

Our first stop of the day is the cave of Papanikolis – the second largest sea cave in Greece. Hear the fascinating story from WWII and enjoy a morning swim INSIDE the cave! We are the only daily cruise boat from Lefkada that goes all the way inside until the end of the cave.

2. Spartochori village

Step back in time in Spartochori village and see how the locals have maintained their old ways of living. Explore the old, narrow streets and spot the charming little backyard gardens. The village sits up on a hill, so make sure to take in the spectacular views of the surrounding area as well. And if you are tired of walking around, you can always choose to relax on one of the two picturesque local beaches close by.

3. Gerakas beach

The highlight of the day for many is the beach stop – plenty of time for sunbathing and swimming in the crystal clear waters on this secluded beach! The boat will stay on the beach throughout the whole 2,5 hours, so you have the possibility to come back and use the toilets ect, or practise those diving skills by jumping from the boat!

While you enjoy yourselves, our crew prepares our delicious BBQ lunch, served right on the beach! Umbrellas will be provided to give you a much needed shade from the hot Greek sun.

* Feshly grilled pork souvlaki
