Cruise Lefkada’s Ionian Sea to Porto Katsiki, Egremni, Fiscardo, Ithaca and Skorpios, with swimming stops, lunch and Greek island views.

“The boat is enormous and it felt like it was way over capacity. It was hard to find anywhere to sit which isn’t great for a 9 hr trip! Lots of people were smoking and there was no shade for large parts of the top deck. The stops were too short so barely time to do anything, particularly on kefalonia. Would not recommend for kids as most of the beaches not suitable for kids swimming (wavy and deep)”

4.Lefkada Kayak : Explore Blue Cave with a Taste of Greece

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 149 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $72

Paddle Lefkada’s Rouda Bay to the Blue Cave, snorkel in clear Ionian waters, and enjoy a Greek snack with attentive local guides.

“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!”

Review of the 9-hour Nidri cruise to Kefalonia and Ithaki, with Fiskardo, swim stops, Papanikolis Cave, and practical booking advice.

“The best thing was that we visited many places in one day. The thing that the operator can improve is to TURN DOWN THE MUSIC VOLUME. It was WAY TOO LOUD. Also, we DIDN’t STOP at EGREMNI BEACH, but at the beach next to it.”

All the stops were beautiful, so much swimming in the sea and the BBQ on the beach was delicious. The boat was busy but plenty of room for everyone.

8.Nydri: Island-hopping Boat Cruise with Lunch and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 78 reviews · 7 hours · from $80

Review of Nydri’s 7-hour island cruise, with Papanikolis Cave, Meganisi, swim stops, Greek BBQ, drinks, value, and practical tips.

“Utrolig rar båd. God plads. Ikke for mange mennesker! Virkelig lækker mad! Kunne godt have brugt lidt mere tid ved hulen og meganisis. Vi havde ikke tid til at svømme ind i hulen og på Meganisis nåede vi kun at gå op og så ned igen. Højtaleren på båden skrattede så det var svært at høre guiden. Der blev “dyttet” utroligt meget som fjernede roen og afslapningen. Musikken spillede de samme numre, og kaptajnens sms’er gik ind over musikken hele tiden. Kaptajnen lå og facetimede med høj lyd på ved stops. Det virkede lidt uprofessionelt. Men guiden var utrolig sød og imødekommende!”

Review of Lefkada’s six-hour sea kayaking tour, with caves, island stops, snorkeling, lunch, practical tips, and honest advice on fitness.

“excellent sea kayak trip. you kayaked for approx 6hrs with a 30 min stop at Scorpios (melon & biscuits were provided) and a 45min/1hr break for lunch, this was around 2pm, lunch was provided, bread with tomatoes & feta cheese. I recommend taking some jelly sweets for energy and plenty of water. we thoroughly enjoyed the day but we do have experience kayaking & felt that people should have some experience before going out in the sea especially as it is very busy with boats. Our guide, Ellen was excellent.”

“We didn’t even get to experience the trip cause they never sent our tickets to the office we had to get them from. Our trip was at 9.30, we were there by 9 and the lady responsible for the tickets wasn’t there. She came at 9.25 and told us she didn’t receive any tickets. Then we called the phone given from the app and they told us the system must have fallen but the thing is they sent me 3 confirmation emails. The good thing is we got a refund immediately but we lost our trip.”
