Escape to an Ionian idyll

A storied and historic island surrounded by the sparkling Ionian Sea, Lefkas lets sailors discover the famous Heptanese Islands of Kefalonia, Ithaca, and Meganisi. Sheltered anchorages, calm conditions, and easy mooring options make Lefkas the perfect destination for newly qualified sailors.

Lefkas features prominently in Greek mythology, and it’s easy to see why. The island’s spectacular coastline boasts white sand beaches, sheltered coves and towering cliffs in abundance. Today, Lefkas represents the perfect getaway for those tired of the hustle and bustle of city life. Explore the imposing ruins of the medieval Santa Maura Fortress, indulge in some of the watersports the island is famous for, or simply relax on the quiet beaches.

Explore Greece’s Ionian Coast and many of the other Heptanese Islands from our base on Lefkas, including Kefalonia, Ithaca, and the numerous tiny islets for which Greece is rightly known. You’ll take in the culture, cuisine, and nightlife of the Ionian Coast and relax in the sun with beautiful Grecian scenery as your backdrop. Lefkas is the launchpad for your perfect island-hopping getaway.

Great service

David Hepburn Tortola

We had a staff of 4 on our Lefkada Floatilla.
Phoebe was an amazing organizer and a great person to have leading the social aspect of our flotilla. She was bubbly and fun to be around and encouraging.
Tom was our handyman and helped my wife and I a ton with our boat and spent extra time explaining things around our boat. He spent just as much time with all the other boats making sure everything was in working order.
Matt was our captain and it was very obvious he had a lot of experience. He helped us, without making us feel dumb. He is kind and goes out of his way to make us feel safe and know the plan.
Manu was the new guy on the flotilla staff and had a great attitude and a wealth of experience as well. He spent extra time with our boat explaining navigation and other techniques to sailing. His warm smile is contagious.
As you can see, we had an incredible staff that all worked well together. Thank you for a great week.
