Description

Good to Know

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!

Wonderful Beach BBQ cruise near Lefkada

We had a wonderful day exploring the islands around Lefkada. Fun stops to a cave, an adorable little hillside town, views of small islands, and a lovely beach bbq on a secluded beach. Just a wonderful day.

Everything went smoothly. The food was good, the swimming breaks were long enough, and the visit to Meganisi Island was a pleasant experience. We received good information about the places we visited. I would go again.

A Great Day Out

This is a great day out and value for money. The crew were professional, friendly and informative. The BBQ was well prepared and a delicious interlude to a packed day. My only comment is that stopping at Jackie Kennedy Onasis’s beach is probably a stop that can be missed out and the time added to other stops. The Beach is tiny and it became packed when two boats were in. That said it didn’t detract from a tremendous day out - thank you.
