• Yacht Charters from Lefkas
• 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.

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 .

Rent a Sailboat in Lefkas

Sailboat hire in lefkas.

The lovely tropical paradise of Lefkas is a great holiday destination, with calm turquoise Ionian Sea surrounding the islands, and breathtaking backdrop of cliffs to help you unwind and relax. The hilly island has a lot to offer, and it is linked with the mainland via pontoon bridge and a causeway. The most notable hills rise to a magnificent height of 1158 m at the top of the Lefkas peninsula in Cape Doukato, lining the southwest end of the island. One of the quickest ways to explore this island is by sea. Rent a sailboat in Lefkas to avoid a swarm of tourists on the beaches, as it offers a more intimate and enjoyable experience.

The wonderful Greek Island has a beautiful weather round the year, but summers is ideally the best time to rent a sailboat in Lefkas and explore its exquisiteness, as the wind conditions are mostly facing north westerly, making sailing very pleasurable. The diverse and distinctive views coupled with mildly cooler evenings, with a lovely sea breeze blowing through your hair makes the sailing adventures truly extraordinary. By choosing to rent a sailboat in Lefkas, you can access a variety of secluded bays and beaches that are only accessible by boat. You get a chance to admire the beauty and explore the coves of these practically deserted beaches all on your own.

While sailing to Lefkas, you can cover the main areas of the island by sea. The most impressive one is Porto Katsiki in Vassiliki. Although you’ll find no shortage of beaches in Lefkas, this is the one that just can’t be missed. The towering majestic cliff stands erect, seemingly guarding the small caves and deep blue water that will leave you in awe. Sailboats easily reach the smaller parts of the island to help you find that picture perfect spot.

Nydri Waterfalls is another great spot that has an easy access by boat, although it requires a short walk to reach the waterfalls which can’t be seen from the boat. It is not every day that you get to enjoy a beautiful waterfall while visiting an island, so it makes for a unique experience with splashing icy cold water that will refresh your mind.

When sailing to the south-east of Lefkas , you’ll spot a quaint little island that’s called ‘Meganisi’. The name translates to big island, although it is fairly small, but the awe-inspiring views and beauty make up for it. This is also the place where you’ll find the historic Papanikolis Cave – which was used as a base in WWII for the Papanikolis submarine. This part of the island is only accessible through a sailboat, so you definitely can’t miss it. The whole island provides an unparalleled experience due to its unique fjord-like coast.

When sailing to the east of Lefkas , the islet of Kastos will impress you with its Seal Cave and surreal cliffs. The most notable one of them is the white karst cliff that reflects the vibrant emerald sea around it. You’ll find a number of secluded beaches here, along with a small village that’s worth exploring. When you rent a sailboat in Lefkas, you can access some of these serene beaches that are only reachable by sea.

Next to Lefkas, there’s a small islet called Kalamos that has exquisite isolated beaches only reachable by sea. While sailing to the southern end of this island, you’ll get to see the ‘Halasma’, which is a niche in the cliff providing yet another quaint little hideout.

For a one-of-a-kind sailing experience, check out the wonderful offers at Sailogy at a good value to rent a sailboat in Lefkas with or without a skipper . Enjoy your time with beautiful and comfortable sailboats with the reasonable pricing of Sailogy, and a number of options tailored to every individual’s specific needs.

Visiting Lefkada by a boat charter

There are so many reasons why vacationers love visiting this laid-back Greek island, one of which is its convenient location. Lefkada truly has it all: beautiful seaside scenery, island lifestyle, and an authentic Greek atmosphere everywhere you look. And since it is so close to mainland Greece and to so many other island destinations, there really is no reason not to rent a boat from Lefkada. During your vacation, be sure to check out the west coast beaches of Porto Katsiki and Egremeni for swimming, sunbathing, and even cliff diving. Explore Vasiliki village for dining and shopping, or go windsurfing at Vasiliki beach. Seeing the waterfalls of Nidri are a must-do, as well, so budget for time to do everything on your list before you leave the island on your boat rental.

Remember that the most popular time for sailing Lefkada is spring through early fall, but we recommend visiting in April through June or September to avoid peak tourist crowds in July and August. Also keep in mind traveling to and from the island. Aktion Preveza Airport is located on mainland Greece only around only 15 minutes away from the island, and you can take a bus or taxi easily from the airport.

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.

Lefkas sailing holidays: popular questions answered., how much is it to charter a yacht in lefkas.

The cost of your yacht charter will depend on the type, age and size of the boat you choose, as well as the dates of your holiday. If you are in the market for a good deal, we would recommend looking at the beginning or end of the season (April, May and until mid- June & from mid – September onwards). Prices are highest during peak season from mid-June until mid- September. To calculate the total cost of your holiday, you will need to consider the obligatory extras too (i.e. end cleaning) which are payable on top of the boat price (usually on spot). Provisioning, mooring fees and fuel are not included.

Lefkas and the South Ionian islands are considered one of the top sailing destinations in the Mediterranean and are ideal for first time sailors, families and those looking for a laid back holiday. This region is known for easy line of sight navigation, short distances between the islands and generally very predictable and mild weather and wind conditions.

What is the best month to sail in Lefkas?

The south Ionian is lovely throughout the season, however, if you prefer to avoid the crowds and enjoy better charter rates too, we would recommend booking outside of the peak season. According to our yacht charter consultants, June and September are perfect for a sailing holiday in Lefkas as the weather is warm and sunny and the islands are in full “summer mode”.

What qualifications do you need to sail in Lefkas, Greece?

To charter bareboat from Lefkas you will need one person (the skipper) with a sailing license and a co-skipper with sailing experience. It is always wise to email a copy of your sailing license to your charter consultant in advance so they can double check that it is acceptable by the Greek authorities.

Is the sea in Lefkas warm?

You can expect warm sea temperatures when sailing from Lefkas as the water remains warm and pleasant even during spring and autumn. The average sea temperature in Lefkas is about 20 °C.

Sailing Holidays in Lefkas

Lefkada, or Lefkas (in Greek: Λευκάδα), is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea, on the west coast of Greece, which connects with the mainland by a long causeway and floating bridge. The city of Lefkada, is situated in the northern part of the island, approximately 20 minutes, by automobile, away from Aktion National Airport. The Prefecture of Lefkada comprises Lefkada island, plus, the smaller nearby islands of Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Madouri and Skorpios are of unparalleled beauty. It is the smallest prefecture of Greece in both land area and population (2001 census).

We suggest multiple alternatives regarding sailing around Lefkas island, and our yachts are definitely the best ones to “sail you around”, and guarantee unforgettable summer sailing holidays.

Lefkas (Italian: Santa Maura) is a hilly island marked by karstic action, lying off the Playia Peninsula in Acarnania, from which it is separated by a shallow lagoon varying in width between 600 m and 5 km. It is now linked with the mainland either by a causeway or a ferry. Most of the island is occupied by a range of hills, rising to a height of 1158 m in Mount Stavrotas, and running south-west to end at Cape Doukato. It was from this Leucadian Rock of gleaming white limestone, that Sappho was supposed to have thrown herself for love of the handsome Phaon. Lefkas never had any permanent natural connection with the mainland. The shingle spit at the northern tip was pierced in ancient times by the Corinthians to provide a channel for shipping, much like the spit to the south of Lefkas town, which came into being in the Middle Ages, as a result of the establishment of salt-pans. (Find Lefkas in Google Maps here )

Off the south-east coast of Lefkas, you will find the beautiful unspoilt island of Meganisi, with sandy beaches and famous sea-caves. It is ideal for yacht charters with family or friends, either bareboat or skippered. Westward to Lefkas, there are tiny islands like Skorpios and Madouri, and on the east side the well-equipped marinas of Vasiliki and Nydri provide safe anchorage protected from the occasional strong westerlies.

The must-see ports and anchorages include: Palairos, Mytika, Kastos, Port Leone, Episkopi, Papanikolis Cave, Vathi, Spartakhori, Menidion (Ambracian Gulf), Sivota, Vasiliki and Rouda Bay.

History of Lefkas

The earliest evidence of human settlement on the island dates back to the Neolithic period. In the 7th century BC, the town of Lefkas was founded by settlers from Corinth, who closed off the south end of the lagoon, opposite the St George Fort, by a 600 m long mole, remains of which are still visible under water (the sunken breakwater). They also cut a channel through the spit of shingle at the north end of the lagoon, opposite the Santa Maura Fort.

In the Middle Ages the island belonged to the barons of Kefallinia and Zakynthos. In 1479 it was taken by the Turks – the only Ionian Island to fall into their hands – but was recovered for the Venetians by Morosini in 1684.

As a result of the vicissitudes of its history and a series of earthquakes (the most recent in 1953) Lefkas has preserved very few old buildings.

Ports and Local Amenities in Lefkada

Preveza, Nidri and Lefkas port are the most important bases for bareboat yacht charters in the southern Ionian, as is Corfu and Gouvia in the north Ionian. The Lefkas canal enables sailors to sail, or moor, near the coastline of the east side of the island, which has 90% of the good anchorages.

If you are sailing from the north, the entrance can be found by locating the Santa Maura Fort. If you are looking south-west, you find the Santa Maura Fort and the north entrance to the canal, and in the distance, Lefkas town. The canal proper (dotted lines) starts after Lefkas Town and is marked by red and green poles, and by red and green buoys when the canal turns south. The ancient submerged breakwater is located opposite to St. George’ s Fort.

The entrance to Sivota Bay is sometimes a bit tricky. Once in, you can only anchor at the east side just around the cape, and only if you proceed through the dogleg, you can anchor anywhere in 3-8 m.There are also quays on the south and west sides of the bay where you can find tavernas and other local amenities.

The port of Vassiliki is located in the south-east of Lefkas, deep in the large bay of Vassiliki . The west side of this bay, close to the village of Pondi, comprises a nice anchorage (anchor in 4-8 m). The actual port is located in the east side of the bay and is very shallow. You will just have to stay close to the breakwater. Natural springs which run through a washing house at the south of Vassiliki, surely favour this part of the island.

The town of Spartakhori on the island of Meganisi, can easily be seen from the north and west. Once you are in the bay, the small harbour will be right in front of you. It represents a good shelter, though you will have to anchor in considerable depths (15-25 m). With northeast winds blowing at night, the anchorage near the tavernas is the best location in the bay. The village of Spartakhori is as enchanting, as enjoyable is the beautiful winding road leading there, and is also definitely worth the climb.

Nidri village, however, is more boisterous, just like the fair but crowded inlet across. Apart from July and August this inlet is a must-anchor, and you can use the sunken coaster there to tie an extra line. Even though the Nidri quay provides water, fuel, and any other supplies you may need, it places you in the middle of yacht charter bases, tripper boats, ferries etc.

The landlocked Vlikho Bay provides a good all-round shelter to anchor in a muddy bottom of just 8-2 meters. However, anchoring off the quay of the quiet Vlikho village can be uncomfortable in stronger daytime winds.

In Lefkas Town the houses have a rather unusual structure, however they are designed carefully in order to withstand earthquakes. Go stern-to or bows-to the town quay on the northe-west or south side, the muddy bottom is generally good holding.

On Modra Island, there is the villa of the family of Aristotelis Valaoritis (1824-79), greece’s national poet, a sight worth visiting, since you can also anchor in front of the baroque building.

The Skorpios Island is also private (owned by the Onassis family), but as long you don’t cross the high water mark you can anchor on both sides of the small sandy isthmus south of the island.
