Island Hopping with Beach BBQ
Overview
8 hours
Mobile ticket
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!

Our second stop is on the island of Meganisi, at the village of Spartochori. Step back in time and see how the locals have preserved their old way of living. Explore the old, narrow streets and discover the charming little backyard gardens. The village is located up on a hill, so you can admire the wonderful views of the surrounding area as well. And if you get tired of walking, you can always relax on one of the local charming beaches.

5.00You have not really been to the Ionian Sea unless you have sailed a cruise with Captain Spiros and crew on the Ionion Star. A fantastic day on the water, with beautiful surroundings, fantastic bath stops, the best service ... not least the delicious lunch-barbecue on the beach. The good atmosphere and the fantastic ship flow all day long. I take the trip every week I'm in the area and have been on the cruise 24 times. My warmest recommendations :-)
Amazing

5.00A really nice tour. Highly recommended. Friendly staff, delicious food and fair prices on board (for extra requests). If it were possible, it would be worth more than 5 stars

5.00It was brilliant, just nice to sit back and relax on the boat and not having to worry about sailing it. The beach was lovely and swimming in the sea. If I come bk to Lefkada it will be a trip to go on again.
