“The scenery! Hands down brilliant day spent out on the beautiful blue waters of Lefkas. Our guide was superb and took great care in teaching us the ropes (we were first timers) enabling us to have confidence with the day. The cave is truly wonderful and the swimming and snorkelling is breathtaking. A little bravery required for the cave but worth pushing through as spectacular in there. Mother in law is terrified of bats and even she managed to swim in the cave so nothing to worry about really. Best day of our holiday and would totally do it again. Thank you to our guide!”
