How to Get Around
Digital
480 minutes

This cruise takes you to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the best swimming sites of the neighbouring islands of Lefkada! You´ll be able to take a look inside the famous cave of Papanikolis, where we also take time for our morning swim.

At our village stop you have time to walk around the pretty, narrow streets and admire the view. Or if you prefer another swim, there are also beaches nearby.

The highlight of the day is the beach stop - plenty of time for sunbathing and swimming in the crystal clear waters, as the crew prepares your delicious BBQ lunch, freshly on the spot! Umbrellas will be provided to give you a much needed shade from the hot Greek sun.

On our way back home, we stop for one more swim on the famous "Onassis island". Fresh seasonal fruit and a local appetizer drink will be also served during the cruise.

This is definitely THE TRIP for the whole family! Short distances from place to place ensure, that the smallest passengers enjoy it too!
