Discover the island of Lefkada

Madouri is a very small, uninhabited island in the Ionian Sea, across busy Nydri of Lefkada. It is located 700 meters off the east coast and belongs to the Municipality of Ellomenos, as well as to the island complexes of Televoid and Prigkiponisa.

Skorpios is a small but well-known Ionian island located in the southern mouth of the Alexandros bay of Lefkada. It belongs to the Televoid and Prigkiponisa island complexes. On the northern side of Skorpios is the island of Skorpidi, which belongs to the municipality of Meganisi.

Abelake Bay

Abelake bay is located on the northeastern side of the picturesque Meganissi. Meganissi is very close to the cosmopolitan resorts of Lefkada, and is definitely one of the most beautiful hidden corners of the Ionian Sea, a place that is not known by many people, yet very hospitable for those who want to spend calm and carefree holidays.

Spartochori

The village of Spartochori is one of the three villages of Meganisi, the largest island in the Lefkada Prigkiponisa complex, which belongs to the wider island complex of Televoids.

Lefkada's East Coast

The eastern coast of Lefkada is a place that everyone who comes to the island must visit. The main features of the eastern side of the island are the countless, successive and beautiful beaches with their blue waters, bays, coves and natural harbors.

On the eastern side of Lefkada, near the village of Vlychos, there is the beautiful, sheltered beach of Desimios. It is located in a small cove to the east of Meganisi.

Porto Katsiki

Porto Katsiki beach looks truly fascinating surrounded by incredible hills which make it accessible only by 80 steep steps descending along the cliff or by boat.

Agiofili Beach

When it comes to Agiofili beach you can think of a little piece of heaven in the south of Lefkada, located just a few kilometers away from Vasiliki village.

Kathisma is arguably one of the most beautiful beaches of Lefkada located 15 km southeast of the main town, close to the village of Agios Nikitas.

• Our bases in Greece

Explore the Ionian Islands from Lefkas!

Our charter base on the island of Lefkas (Lefkada) is perfect for exploring the Ionian islands including the popular islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia to the south and Corfu to the north, as well as a multitude of smaller gorgeous islands in between. Given the close proximity of all these destinations, feel free to choose which islands you want to visit visit and which route you fell like taking!

Our fleet in Lefkas is located at the D-Marin Lefkas Marina , with plenty of options for shopping and dining prior to or after your charter. For those of you pressed for time, we also have a charter base in Preveza , a mere 10-minute taxi ride from Aktion Airport , through which most visitors to Lefkas also arrive.

Our Charter Fleet in Lefkas

Our boats in Lefkas are available for both bareboat and skippered rentals and and include a wide variety of our most popular sailing yachts and catamarans. Special charter arrangements are also available including single day charters for sightseeing and rentals for special events including company excursions, weddings or honeymoon trips.

Arriving at Lefkas Marina

D-Marin Lefkas marina is located on the east side of the island, accessed from the island through a road bridge. The marina is a short 25-minute taxi ride from the main Aktion Airport (Preveza) , through which most European charter flights arrive. Public transport options are also available.

If you are arriving as a group, we are happy to organise a private transfer for you and your party from the airport by minibus. Just let us know the details of your arrival and we will advise accordingly.

Meet the Istion Team at Lefkas Marina

Welcome to Lefkas Marina, where your unforgettable sailing holiday will begin! Led by our base manager, Andreas and supported by a dedicated team including Vangelis , Konstantina , Zeta and Angelos , we strive to make every moment of your time in Greece exceptional. Together, our goal is to deliver an unforgettable sailing adventure, with a focus on exceptional service, support, and a carefree experience you'll treasure forever .

Sailing Itineraries from Lefkas

From our base in Lefkas one week charters typically head south towards Kefalonia and Zakynthos or north towards Corfu including mainland harbours like Syvota and Parga. Two week charters give time to cover more area or simply spend more time exploring the spots you are visiting. Below we present a sample one week itinerary of our favourite southern route.

The Southern Ionian Islands

Known for relatively mild winds during the summer, the Ionian Sea is a sailing playground ideal for smooth sailing and family vacation, featuring endless swimming and idyllic nights in isolated bays of unique beauty . Lefkas island itself is full of tranquil coves and bays which one could spend many day exploring!

To the south of Lefkas lies the island of Kefalonia, and a little further Zakynthos. Both are large, well-known touristic islands with a ton of fun things to do , beautiful places to visit, turquoise waters to dive in, and historic sites to visit . On the way from Lefkas to Kefalonia there are many smaller islands well worth a visit, including the amazing Ithaki and the smaller islands of Kalamos and Kastos of the mainland coast.

The Northern Ionian Islands

To the north of Lefkas lies Corfu (where we have our Corfu charter base ), the largest of the Ionian islands, and hands-down the most cosmopolitan of them all . Over the course of its long and distinguished history, Corfu, or Kerkyra, has experienced Italian, French and English rule, each leaving a very distinct imprint on the island and its inhabitants. A mixture of different civilizations and cultures blended together into an amalgam that is undoubtedly Greek in character, and yet truly unique from the rest of Greece.

Heading towards Corfu will usually take you through the mainland ports of northern Greece, including Syvota and Parga , and allowing you to explore the amazing islands of Paxoi and Antipaxoi along the way.

A One Week Sailing Itinerary from Lefkas Day 1: Lefkas to Meganissi (10-15 nautical miles, 2-3 hours sailing)

Today, we set sail from Lefkas marina, heading south through the canal that separates Lefkas island from the mainland. As we leave the canal, we see the rocky islet of Volios on our left and the castle of Agios Georgios on the mainland coast.

Consider stopping at the charming coves and beaches on the mainland coast (Aspros Gialos, Marathia, Varko beach) before continuing south. Alternatively, visit Skorpios , known for its green waters and rumored to be Jackie Kennedy's favorite island . Be aware of the thermal wind during midday hours and the Chiromytis reef near Skorpios, which requires careful navigation.

Our destination for the night is the picturesque Vathi on Meganissi island , with two docking options: the private Odyseas Marina or the small free harbor at the bottom of the bay. Depths here are suitable for various boat sizes. Enjoy traditional fish taverns, beach bars, and the natural beauty of the area. Other overnight options include Spilia , Atherinos , or Kapsali .

Day 2: Meganissi to Ithaca - Vathi (20 nautical miles, 3-4 hours sailing)

Start the day with a refreshing morning swim at Desimi Beach Bay , just 3nm west of Vathi. Next, visit the southern part of Meganisi and the famous Papanikoli Cave , named after a Greek World War II submarine. Be aware however that anchoring is not suitable in this area.

Be cautious of the thermal wind that occurs during midday hours and stronger winds near Vathi, as they arise from the central part of Ithaca island. Today's overnight destination is either Vathi , the capital of Ithaca island, or the picturesque Kioni . While Kioni offers a peaceful ambiance, beautiful beaches, and lush forest hikes, the cosmopolitan Vathi caters to those seeking more lively entertainment . Before reaching Ithaca, consider stopping at the islet of Atokos (One House Bay) for a swim.

In Vathi, there are stern or side mooring options on the southern and eastern sides of the harbor, with depths ranging from 2m to over 4m. Anchoring offshore in the bay is also possible, with depths at 10m and good holding potential, however be prepared for strong north-westerly afternoon winds. Other overnight stay options on Ithaca include Kioni , Frikes , or Pera Pigadi .

Day 3: Ithaca to Kefalonia – Agia Efimia (distances and times vary based on route)

Begin your day with a swim at one of the beaches of Gidaki , Filiatro , or Pera Pegadi if you sail southeast of Ithaca. Alternatively, sail to the northern side of the island and cross the Ithaca-Kefalonia strait to stop for a swim at Agios Nikolaos or Afales . According to legend, the Castle of Odysseus was located in Afales, and underwater findings at 15m depth now support this claim.

Be aware of the stronger thermal effect in the strait of Ithaca-Kefalonia, with wind and waves directed from north to south. Beam reach sailing is recommended for a comfortable cruise. Exercise caution near the rocky islet of Daskalio .

Tonight's overnight stay is at the harbor of Agia Efimia in the northern part of Sami Bay . The municipal port offers water and electricity for a fee. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the enchanting Melissani Lake , approximately 5km from your mooring point. If you're up for a hike, consider the 9.5km trail to the world-famous Myrtos beach .

In Agia Efimia, dock in the northern part of the harbor with sea depths over 3m or the eastern part with depths reaching 5m. Alternatively, anchor in the bay with depths at 4m but be cautious of the bathing area at the western part of the bay. Enjoy traditional taverns and cafes just a few meters from your boat.

Day 4: Skala and Agios Nikolaos (25 nautical miles, 5 hours sailing)

Today, sail to Zakynthos , the southernmost destination on your itinerary. This 25nm journey features the most spectacular landscapes and natural treasures of the Ionian Sea, including Shipwreck Bay and the Blue Caves . Along the way, visit Antisamos Beach for extreme water sports and Skala Beach at the southern coast of Kefalonia for unforgettable photo opportunities.

Be prepared for stronger winds in the southernmost part of Kefalonia and exercise caution around the Kakava shallows outside Skala. Maintain an offshore distance of about 2nm from the coast.

The tranquil harbor of Agios Nikolaos offers a pleasant overnight stay, with a mesmerizing natural landscape and modern entertainment options, including traditional taverns and cozy cafes. Before docking, visit the famous Blue Caves , just 1.5 nautical miles from the harbor, and plan for a morning visit to the Shipwreck as it's nearby.

Approach Agios Nikolaos harbor either from the northern or southern side of the rocky islet of Agios Nikolaos. Avoid the south side for anchorage as it serves fishing boats and ferries. Berth on the western side, where depths are about 2m. Ensure your anchor has enough span to secure your berth during strong ripples caused by the ferry's arrival.

Day 5: Zakynthos to Kefalonia - Poros (23 nautical miles, 4-5 hours sailing)

Start your day with a morning swim at the famous Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach , one of the most iconic beaches in the Ionian Sea. Visit early, as local daily cruises can become crowded after 10 am. Be prepared for the usual early afternoon swell, even without wind. The sea depth in the area is sufficient for safe navigation and anchorage in the middle of the bay .

Tonight's destination is Kefalonia , where you have various options in the eastern part of the island. A suggested stop is the port of Poros , located 23 nm from Shipwreck beach. Near the port, below the town's square, you'll find an organized sandy beach , traditional taverns, and bars for your entertainment.

When approaching Poros , watch out for wind spirals (gusts) from the north. Avoid berthing at the large dock, as it serves daily ferries connecting Kefalonia with Zakynthos and Kyllini. Instead, dock in the south-southwest side of the harbor, where depths are over 2m and the anchor grips well on the sandy seabed. 

Day 6: Kefalonia to Lefkas - Sivota (25 nautical miles, 5 hours sailing)

Begin your return journey from Poros to Fiskardo , crossing the Ithaca-Kefalonia strait in the opposite direction (south to north). Morning hours offer the best weather conditions for sailing. Discover hidden gems for a morning swim along the way, and if you haven't already, visit Fiskardo for lunch. You can moor in Fiskardo harbor on the south and west sides, with depths over 2.5m and 3m, respectively. If all berths are occupied, stern to the rocks on the north side, where the depth is over 3m.

Sivota , a picturesque seaside village on the southern coast of Lefkas is an ideal destination for your last night. Each tavern in Sivota provides its own floating pier for free docking, water, and electricity. According to Dörpfeld's theory, Odysseus landed in Sivota on his way back to Ithaca. Mooring in Sivota requires a safe spot at one of the floating piers owned by local taverns, with assistance generously offered by the locals upon arrival. Alternatively, you can anchor in the middle of the bay where the seabed is over 4m deep. 

Day 7: Back to Lefkas Marina

The last sailing day includes several popular and famous swimming spots on the western side of Lefkas island. Vassiliki Beach , in the southwestern part of the island, is known to be one of the best in the world for windsurfing. As you head further north, enjoy the waters at Porto Katsiki , Egremni , Megali Petra , and Agios Nikitas beaches, all top tourist destinations worldwide.

As you approach the town of Lefkas from the north side, you'll need to cross the floating bridge of the island. Be cautious and mindful of several important points during this process. First, ensure a safe passage outside Ammoglossa, where the size of the sandbar varies each year due to sand deposition. A green light indicates the entry point here. The floating bridge opens every hour , with priority given to incoming boats. There's a dock for side mooring while you wait for the bridge to open.

After crossing the canal, stay close to the starboard side between the green and red lights. First, on your right, you'll see the port and the town of Lefkas. Following that, Lefkas Marina appears at the end of the harbor and you have returned back to base .

Exploring the outdoors is a way to connect with something other than our phones, busy agendas, and any other type of technology, and a sailing boat holiday is exactly this.

But of course all of this will happen in all the respect for the environment and the sea, because this is an eco-friendly holiday where the emission of pollution are almost zero.

What is there to discover in Lefkada?

Situated in the island's northern part, Lefkada town is the island's capital. Its charming streets and vistas show its intriguing history and remarkable resilience. Following a devastating earthquake in 1953, the town underwent meticulous reconstruction based on its original plans, blending old-world charm and modern amenities.

The town boasts a state-of-the-art marina capable of accommodating 600 boats, catering to the needs of seafaring enthusiasts. A bustling harbour and a scenic waterfront promenade are great for leisurely walks. There are numerous restaurants and taverns where one can relish delectable cuisine. During the day, explore the pedestrian zone that leads to the central square, Agios Spyridon. The square serves as a vibrant hub of activity, where locals and tourists gather to enjoy the lively atmosphere.

Lefkada's rugged terrain is largely mountainous, presenting an ideal playground for hiking enthusiasts. A hike to Stavrota mountain, soaring approximately 1200 meters above sea level, promises breathtaking panoramas. Additionally, Lefkada offers a plethora of coastal hiking trails.

A bay that is perfect for surfers is Vassiliki. This coastal haven is renowned for its consistent winds, making it a favoured destination for windsurfing enthusiasts.

The most beautiful beaches of Lefkada

There are many beautiful beaches to visit when you rent a boat in Lefkada. Our first recommendation is the stunning Milos beach. Although reaching this sandy paradise requires a small hike along the coast from Agios Nikitas, the effort is worth it. You will be rewarded with breathtaking views as you traverse the coastal trail. You can also reach the beach with your Lefkada yacht rental.

If you're looking for a family-friendly beach, Kathisma is an ideal choice. Its well-appointed amenities and facilities ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all. The beach is equipped with bars and taverns, and on-site rentals of umbrellas and sunbeds allow visitors to relax and soak up the sun in comfort.

Last but certainly not least, no visit to Lefkada would be complete without exploring the captivating beauty of Egremni Beach. With its pristine waters and surroundings, Egremni Beach boasts conditions reminiscent of the renowned Caribbean shores.

Lefkada is a gateway to many nearby islands. Rent a yacht in Lefkada and set a course towards Corfu. As you navigate the sparkling waters, you will be captivated by the beauty of the Ionian Sea.

If you prefer to explore smaller islands in closer proximity, a motorboat provides the perfect means to uncover the hidden treasures of Meganisi, Arkoudi, and Kalamos. These charming islands, just a short distance from Lefkada, offer a tranquil escape from the bustling mainland. These islands exude a sense of authenticity, allowing you to immerse yourself in their unspoiled beauty while relishing in the serenity that comes with being off the beaten path.

For those seeking a slightly larger island to explore, take your Lefkada boat hire to Kefalonia, which beckons with its picturesque villages and breathtaking mountain panoramas. This island promises a delightful fusion of natural wonders and cultural immersion. Lose yourself in the captivating Greek culture as you stroll through charming villages, sampling cuisine offered by local restaurants. The contrast between the majestic mountain landscapes and the turquoise waters that caress the coastline creates a harmonious symphony of beauty that will leave an indelible impression.

Testimonials

Good place to rent a boat from, the site has promo price starting from 50 euro but in season the price is starting from 80+ gas. Gas is not much, on average the 25 liter tank is enough, if you drive slower you get better mileage. There is a sea map with recommended locations and limits and i liked the fact that on their site they marked all the locations you can visit with info as well as where not to go. We stopped in 2-3 places to swim and it was amazing. We visited the lighthouse which took some time to get to but on second round probably would spend more time finding private bathing spots. The staff are friendly. The small boats do not require a license but basical navigation knowledge is recommended about anchoringz reaching dock and navigation at sea.

Oh my goodness, you have have HAVE to hire a boat from here. Just give some good notice because they get booked up. So, the lady that started our day had very very good English. She was extremely thorough and a map is provided with where you can (there's a lot) & can't (not at all much) go. You get taught the very simple instructions on how to use the boat and it's as easy as that! This was absolutely our best day on holiday. I can't suggest you do this strongly enough! We saw stunning scenery, had so much fun and a lot of laughs. For lunch we had a simply stunning cove to ourselves. We poddled around the islands, then we opened get up over the open waters and got ourselves soaked!! (All safety kit is provided within hire costs). It was €70 for the day then you just pay for the fuel at the end. Absolutely just do it!!

Trident Boats is a great family owned and operated business! Well cared for boats and wonderful staff! I was fortunate to rent a boat twice from them during my stay in Nidri! Can't wait to return and take out another boat for more fun on the surrounding water, beaches and villages! Thank you Trident Boats for a great experience !
