Porto Katsiki and Egremni top every list of Greece’s best beaches. From the sea you see them at their finest: white limestone cliffs above water of an unreal blue. This shared boat trip leaves from Nidri or Vasiliki and follows the island’s southern coast.
What you do
- Cruise the south coast of Lefkada and Cape Lefkatas with its lighthouse.
- A long stop at Porto Katsiki to swim beneath the cliffs.
- A stop at Egremni, a beach that is hard to reach by land.
- A swim at Agiofili or another cove depending on the day, then back to port.
Who it is for
Everyone, including families with children and people who would rather skip the long stairways down to the beaches. It is a large, stable boat with a bar on board.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and sunscreen.
- Sunglasses and a cap.
- Cash for food or drinks on board.
Best time
June to September, when the west coast is usually calm in the morning. In May and October departure depends more on sea conditions.
Good to know
The west coast is exposed to the wind: in a swell the captain changes the order of stops or the route for safety. Lunch is not included but can be bought on board.
