Highlights

Unlike large, crowded cruise boats, Papanikolis offers an authentic and relaxing Greek island experience aboard a traditional wooden boat. The family-run cruise combines genuine Greek hospitality, a limited number of guests, beautiful swimming spots away from the crowds, and a delicious homemade Greek lunch. With a friendly, experienced crew and an unhurried pace, we make every guest feel welcome, creating unforgettable memories on the Ionian Sea.

About Lefkada

Lefkada is a green Ionian island joined to the Greek mainland by a short causeway, with white-cliff beaches, windsurfing bays and mountain villages.

Lefkada is reached by a causeway and a floating bridge at the island's northern tip, so, unlike most Ionian islands, it can be reached by road. Lefkada Town sits on a lagoon, with a waterfront of cafés, narrow streets and the old Santa Maura fortress guarding the causeway. Mountains cover much of the interior, and olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees fill the valleys.
