The allure of shimmering blue waters and isolated Ionian islands will be too much to resist on this full day island-hopping tour from Lefkas. You'll set sail on the boat Ionian Star from Nidri to swim in caves, cruise from island to island, explore age-old villages and even have the chance to spot dolphins on route.

From Lefkas we'll venture into the open seas towards the famous Papanikolis sea cave on Meganisi island to take a refreshing dip. Back on board, you'll be able to dry off and bask in the bright rays of sunshine as we continue further around the island to visit the village of Spartohori.

Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins along the way and once your captain stops by a picture postcard beach, you'll be able to swim and sunbathe to your heart's content. There's even a barbecue prepared fresh on the sands to look forward to. We'll round off the trip sailing back to Lefkas via Scorpios and Madouri.

it was a great day with lots of swim stops, a cheep bar, great staff, and the best lunch which included a lot of food and drinks. great value for money could not recommend it more.

A great cruise made even more fantastic by the boat driving right in to the cave at the first stop and enabling us to swim round the boat in the cave. Brilliant!

Best day of the holiday. What a great little cruise these guys are running, beautiful destinations that they call past with great information from the captain. The whole team were wonderful, always polite and looking to help. The whole family loved every minute, super value day out. ??????

We were picked up and dropped back by Tui which was a bonus as otherwise we would have had to rely on a public transport or taxi. The tour was informative, and we stopped at some interesting places.The bbq on the beach was excellent,plenty of delicious food and we were all given beach umbrellas to sit under, which was necessary as it was so hot. The drinks on the boat were reasonably priced and the crew were all very attentive. I would recommend Ionian Star, not too many people on board.

Everything, the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, and caring. The food prepared was lovely and every where visited was the right amount of time. It was just a perfect day
