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.

5.00This was the third boat trip of my holiday, and by far the best. Captain Spiros provided plenty of interesting information about all the places we visited, far more than on the other two cruises I took. His knowledge and commentary really enhanced the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. The beach BBQ was great with plenty of tasty food and drink. A fantastic trip from start to finish, and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you to Captain Spiros and the whole team for a memorable day!
Would redo it

5.00First stop the Cave of Papanicolous for a swim stop. The lonian Star is small enough to fit inside and the water is crystal clear! Then on to Porto Spilia on Meganisi and to climb the steps to the hilltop village of Spartachori. Lovely traditional Greek village with a few coffee stops. Tip here there are nicer coffee shops within the village although the Summer Sun cafe has great views! Next stop was the Greek mainland beach for lunch....The guides provided beach umbrellas and the BBQ lunch was fantastic! Pork souvlaki's and salad with wine...on the beach, cooked fresh...perfect! Then a tour around the Onassis family island of Scorpios and a final swim in the crystal clear waters. Excellent trip, excellent guides. Highly recommended.
Brilliant experience for the family
