This eight-hour Lefkada Island Hopping Day Trip with Beach BBQ visits several nearby islands and coastal sites for swimming, sightseeing, and a beach meal. The trip begins with a stop at Papanikolis Cave, the second largest sea cave in Greece, where guests can cruise inside the cave and swim for about 25 minutes. Next, the boat travels to the island of Meganisi, stopping at the village of Spartochori for 75 minutes. Visitors can walk through the village’s narrow streets, see local gardens, enjoy views from the hilltop, or swim at nearby beaches. The longest stop is at Gerakas Beach near Varko on the Greek mainland, lasting two and a half hours. Here, guests have time to swim, sunbathe, and jump from the boat into the clear water. During this stop, a BBQ lunch is freshly prepared and served on the beach. Umbrellas are provided for shade. On the return trip, there is a 45-minute swim stop at Onassis Island, where guests can swim and hear about the island’s history. The boat also passes Madouri and the Prince’s islands on the way back to Lefkada. Included in the tour are snacks, alcoholic and carbonated beverages, lunch, and on-board restrooms. The short distances between stops make this trip suitable for families.
