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 .

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.

Sailing from Lefkas

Lefkas is the biggest charter base in the Ionian and is wonderfully located for exploring the Ionian islands. You can choose to sail North to the Paxi islands, Parga and historic Corfu, or, more traditionally, sail South to head to the idyllic Sivota, classy Meganissi, amphitheatrical Ithaki and the incomparable Kefalonia. Sailing South, you'll find wonderful scenery of beaches, cliffs, caves, pine forests and crystal clear seas, plus idyllic villages, secluded coves and a relaxed pace of life.

The Ionian islands have been popular with sailors for thousands of years - the Greek legends Odysseus and Achilles sailed around these islands on their various quests (Odysseus is believed to have lived on Ithaki). They all loved the dependable sunshine, reliable winds, terrific scenery, and local hospitality.

6-day Sailing Itinerary from Lefkas

From Lefkas, it’s a difficult choice of whether to head to the North Ionian – with the Paxi islands and Corfu – or the Southern Ionian down to Kefalonia. For this itinerary, we’re going south, but if you want to read more about the North Ionian, check out the itinerary we have written for Corfu .

Lefkas - 6 day sailing itinerary

In total, this route clocks in at 106 nautical miles, which should mean that you have leisurely days of sailing – you should be able to get speeds of at least 5-6 knots on your yacht or catamaran, so it works out at about 3-4 hours of sailing a day, but longer if you find bays or beaches pop into for a swim, or find somewhere to throw down the anchor for a long lunch.  

Kalamos

Leave via the South of the marina and follow the channel (and all the other boats) pretty much due South. If there’s a prevailing wind, it should be just behind you, so you’ll be running down the channel. A lot of the charter yachts will be heading to Meganissi on their first day, but we’re trying to avoid some of the traffic and get ahead of the game by doing the extra miles to Kalamos, heading East past Meganissi (have a quick look at Vathy on Meganissi as you go past, as that’s the final port of call on this itinerary), and then following the coast around to the small village of Kalamos on the South side of the next island.

Kalamos is a small village now, but this island has a bit of a crazy history – it was once a key Roman island, and they built a fort here to defend against marauding pirates. Later, despite being so small, it once housed over twenty thousand Greek refugees (mainly women and children) during the Greek revolution against the Ottomans in 1821, and people similarly sought refuge here in during the Siege of Messolonghi – or, at least, they did until the British, who ruled the island at that time, told them to go away (they promptly did, and many died as a result). You can still see odd ruined buildings scattered around the island as evidence of all of this, but it’s almost unimaginable - nowadays, Kalamos is a quiet island with a population of less than 500, who, until 1996, didn’t have running water or electricity! Enjoy the beautiful scenery, clear waters, and relax a while.  

Vathi

Entering the port is a wonder to behold, with the whole town built up on the hillside and making a grand amphitheatre around the marina. Add some sunshine, and it really is a beautiful view. Vathi has a good selection of shops and tavernas, and the people here will make you feel very welcome.

Ithaki, or Ithaca as it is also known, is perhaps most famous for its prominent role in Homers classic book, the Odyssey. Ithaki was the home of the heroic Odysseus, who sailed back from Troy and encountered all manner of mythical beasts. In recent years, researchers have discovered a three-story palace from 800 BC on the island which some believe might have once belonged to Odysseus, though most scholars still believe that Homers epic work was fictional.  

Sami

Sailing-wise, you’ll need to be on your toes today, as we’re going in pretty much every direction possible! After leaving Vathi, keep the coastline on your starboard side, and we’ll swing round onto the next island along. If you arrive early, the beach of Antisamos beach (the bay immediately prior to Sami) is one of the best in the whole of Greece.

Sami itself is a thriving market town, with plenty of character and, particularly during the summer season, a real holiday buzz and almost carnival atmosphere.  

Sivota

Beating up through the prevailing wind, you’ll need to bear North-easterly, and Sivota is at the end of a bay on your port side. It’s a quiet village by day, but really livens up at night, when the yachts come in to port and when the landlubbing holidaymakers finally leave their all-inclusive resorts in search of somewhere more authentic.

Sivota is a beautiful place, with white limestone cliffs, sandy beaches, turquoise blue seas, white-washed houses and pine forests making it a serene and blissful place to spend the night – particularly after a few drinks in a local taverna (and some traditional Greek circle-dancing if you’re up for it).  

Meganissi

From Sivota, we’re heading pretty much due East, where, if you’re interested, you can take a look at the cave of Papanikolis. This is the second largest cave in Europe (it’s massive – over 120m long). It was once a place where local sailors hid including their boats) from pirates, and during the second world war it was used as a hiding place by Greek submarines! From here, there’s a long or a short route to Meganissi, but since time is on our side, we’d recommend travelling around the South of the island, which is a little quieter and where there are more bays to explore, then beating North into the prevailing wind and tacking back round into Vathy, on the island of Meganissi (but yes, a similar name to the one on Ithaki).

Vathy is a quiet little fishing village nestled at the end of a bay, though it is fast becoming a popular tourist destination. There’s bars and tavernas splayed along the waterfront and it is almost the epitome of what a Greek sailing holiday is all about.  

Lefkas

Sailing North back up the Lefkas channel, the same way you came down one week ago, you can reflect on the sights you’ve seen on this voyage, the friendships you’ve made or strengthened with your crewmates, and the expert sailing skills you’ve picked up along the way. This bit of sailing is also your last chance to get a team photo whilst at sea. When you arrive in Lefkas, you’ll need to head to the fuelling berth to refill the fuel tanks. There’ll likely be a big queue as basically every yacht in the area tries to refuel within the same three-hour period. Once you’ve refilled, take the boat back to where you got it from, and moor her up one last time. Well done. Job done.

Someone will come and inspect the yacht tonight, but you won’t need to leave the boat till Saturday morning. If you’ve not yet been into Lefkas, there’s plenty enough to keep you busy for the night, and it’s a great place to stroll around with an ice-cream. Alternatively, the pirate bar in the marina will be heaving with fellow sailors who you can exchange stories with.

Hopefully you'll have had a brilliant week. Sailing is super relaxing, so it's likely that you will've forgotten all your passwords for logging back onto your work computer. Wait, work. Ah. Can't you just live on a yacht all year long? Come back to us once you return to start planning your next adventure :)  

Sailing Conditions

Greece Sailing - Wind Conditions

There are occasional days when the winds are either too light or too strong, but these tend to pass and the prevailing northerly winds return, driving southwards down the Greek coastline. The prevailing direction means that it should be quite straight forward for getting up and down the coast and sampling the delights and sights of the beautiful Ionian.

Winter sailing in the Ionian is another story, as there is no real prevailing wind, and you’re as likely to be blown around by brutal and cold winds from the mountains in the North as you are by whirling tropical storms which traverse the Mediterranean from tropical Africa.

Lefkas - Average Temperature

Lefkas Marina

Lefkas Marina is renowned as being one of the best marinas in the whole of the Mediterranean, space for over 620 yachts, excellent facilities, a swimming pool and a small supermarket. Nestled in the town of Lefkas, a picturesque Greek holiday resort popular with Northern Europeans, all the shops and facilities you could require are within easy reach – as are the beautiful Ionian islands, once you set sail.

If your flight options don’t allow you to fly in and out on a Saturday, you might need somewhere to stay for a night or two at the start or end of your holiday - we can recommend the following hotels in the area: Hotel Lefkas , or  Anesis village studios and apartments .

Guide To Sailing In Lefkada (Lefkas)

On a Lefkada yacht charter with Borrow a Boat you can explore much of the Ionian islands within an easy sail. Whatever you want from a Lefkas yacht charter, from its beautiful beaches and bays to relaxed atmosphere, a Lefkada sailing holiday is going to be an unforgettable experience.

Just a short drive across the bridge from mainland Greece, the Ionian island of Lefkada is one of the best sailing holiday destinations in Greek waters. Excellent holiday towns like Nidri, beautiful beaches like Agios Ioannis, and quaint fishing villages like Agios Nikitas make this an idyllic sailing destination.

High cliffs plunge into turquoise waters, and scenery that will stay in your memory for years to come blend with the friendly local culture to make for an island you'll want to visit time and again.

There is a wide choice of activities to do here too - and for those on a sailing holiday you'll be utterly spoiled for choice. Water sports ranging from scuba diving to sea kayaking and kite surfing can be done in different locations according to what you want to do for the day. Inland, you can simply go for a walk to a quiet taverna or nearby village to drink in the culture and enjoy the cuisine of this attractive island.

Whatever you want from an Ionian island sailing holiday, Lefkas should be close to the top of your list of charter bases. Book your boat rental with Borrow a Boat today!

Explore Lefkas Island By Renting A Yacht

So, on your bareboat charter or skippered yacht charter out of Lefkada, where would you like to go? On nearby mainland Greece, the historic town of Preveza has over 60km of beaches around the Ambracian Gulf, and ancient ruins dating back millennia too.

The other major Ionian islands of Kefalonia and Zakynthos are worthy of long pauses too. Cephalonia was the setting for the Hollywood movie *Captain Corelli's Mandolin* thanks to its stunning scenery and beautiful fishing villages. A famous sandy beach and a large cave system make this, the largest of the Ionian Islands, a destination you shouldn't miss on a Lefkada yacht charter.

The southernmost of the Ionian Islands Zakynthos is home to the rare turtle species Caretta-Caretta that lay their eggs on the beaches every year. The scenery is some of the best in Greece and the villages worthy of a few hours and a long lunch break in too.

As well as the larger islands, the smaller islands of the Ionian are always worth a pause too. Often away from the main tourist track, islands such as Kastos, Meganisi and Arkoudi aren't a long sail from the main island, but will give you an authentic taste of Greek island life.

A Lefkas yacht charter will give you the opportunity to explore these islands over a week or two at your own pace, enjoying the placid and great sailing conditions of the Ionian Sea as you do.

Suggested Sailing Itinerary From Lefkas

On your Lefkada yacht charter, whether bareboat or with an experienced skipper you can access hidden anchorages on smaller islands of the Ionian Sea, as well as larger ones like Kefalonia, one of the largest islands in the whole Mediterranean Sea.

7 days - Cephalonia and Lefkas Island: Your first day is just 11NM of sailing south to the island of Meganissi where you can relax for the evening before a 40NM sailing trip north to Paxos. An easy sail to the northern tip of Paxos next, mooring at the beautiful Lakka Cove. The next day is a biggie - 52NM back south to Kefalonia, mooring at Fiskada. Take time to enjoy this spot as the next sail is short, to Ithaca Town on Ithaca, just across the strait. Lefkada Town is the final port for handover.

14 days - Peloponnese and the Ionian Islands: Itself closer to the Saronic Islands, the island of Kithra is widely held as the most southerly Ionian Island. Island and coastal hopping down the northern Ionian archipelago, where the seven-day trippers will head home you continue south and get to explore mainland Greece as well as you enjoy your extended trip to all of the Ionian islands.

Best Times To Hire A Yacht In Lefkada

The sailing season runs from late April to October with July and August being the busiest months for yacht charter. Unlike the Aegean, the Ionian Sea is dominated by the Bora - the same wind that affects nearby Croatia. In summer this is far more benign and far more sailing friendly than the often beefy Meltemi. Building to a fun F5-6 in the afternoon from a zephyr in the morning, you can almost time your daily sailing by it.

The sea is cooler - often quite chilly - at the beginning of the sailing season but there is rainfall in Spring. As the days lengthen you will still see green fields and flowers in May and the winds can be quite benign too. Combined with the crowds being smaller, this suggests that May to early June are the sweet spot for an Ionian boat rental.

Come September and October the seas are still like a warm bath. With the wetter climate than the Aegean this is less of a problem so with the warm seas could be at least as good as the earlier months of the year.

Sailing Weather In Lefkada

April to mid-June: There is rainfall and the temperatures build steadily from the mid-teens to the mid 20 degree C range. There are sometimes cooler northerly winds, though the southerly Bora kicks in in around early May. There is more rainfall here than on Aegean Greece but you will soon find that a blessed relief from the heat!

Late June-August: You'll be unlucky if you see any rain, though it could be welcome in the summer heat. Temperatures are from 30s with recent hot days exceeding 40 - often hotter than the Aegean. The Bora often adds to the heat with its tropical origins.

September-October: The seas remain warm, as does the air. These months can be the best time of year for experienced sailors, as the temperatures are often in the comfortable low to mid 20s though can touch 30C from time to time.

What should I consider when hiring a Yacht or Boat?

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

What are the Marinas in Lefkada?

There are three main marinas on Lefkada - with the capacity for 620 yachts, Lefkada Marina is the largest on the Ionian. Nidri Marina is mid-sized with the capacity of 222 yachts, and Sivota Marina takes around 90 vessels.

When are the best times to hire a boat in Lefkada?

To avoid the summer heat and crowds, if you can get to Lefkas Island after autumn school term begins you will find the seas still warm, the air more comfortable and the marinas less crowded.

Do you have to pay a deposit when hiring a Yacht in Lefkas Island?

You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

What happens if my Yacht breaks down?

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company.

What should I think of before I hire a Yacht or Boat in Lefkada?

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat hire before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool on most evenings.

What Qualifications Do I need to hire a boat or yacht?

If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small 'day boats' or if you choose to have a skippered on board your yacht charter you typically don't require licences.

Top destinations

Also known as Lefkada, this sizeable ‘island’ is joined to the mainland by a causeway and floating bridge, overlooked by an old, fortified, Venetian castle. Easily accessible from Preveza airport, it’s both a popular holiday destination for a week or two on the beach and a great jumping-off point for island-hopping around the Ionian under sail or by ferry.  

On one hand history and culture abound – some experts claim that Lefkas was Homer’s real site for Ithaca (well, the old boy was blind and there was no Satnav in those days!). Every conquering nation that cruised into these parts – Ottoman, Byzantine, Venetian et al – has left its legacy. On the other hand Lefkas is a place of great natural beauty, with some gorgeous beaches along its west coast and authentic fishing villages and harbours.  

The main town is set around and behind a bustling harbour. Walk back a few streets from the waterfront and you’ll find a nice central square with restaurants, cafes and shops. To be honest though there’s a lot of traffic and the smaller coastal harbours at Nidri and Sivota are altogether more charming. Here, life moves at a slower tempo and Nidri is the most popular tourist destination on the island. 

Many claim Sivota is the most beautiful bay on Lefkas, verdant hills sitting around a cove of blue, crystal-clear waters. It’s the most popular mooring for the many yachts that sail these parts and, in the evenings, you’ll find a cosmopolitan atmosphere in the restaurants and tavernas.  In general the food is very good all across the island and some of the local wines are excellent. 

Our recommendation: lots to see and do here, especially if you’re sailing in the area, with a wide choice of moorings for lunch or an overnight stay in between some interesting beats to the south of the main town or the west of the island. If you’re hotelling then do your research and find the perfect beach.

Recommendations when leaving your vessel.

If leaving your boat, please ensure adequate chain is out. More is better.

All seacocks, with exception to the engine inlet, should be closed.

Please ensure that the fuel to the engine is left on.

We would recommend that your bimini is left folded back and secured.

Please ensure that your Genoa has been tightly furled with none of the sail extruding.

Furling mainsails should be correctly furled. With non furling mainsails please ensure that stack packs or sail covers are secure. We would recommend that the main halyard is removed from the sail.

Removable items (e.g. Outboards) should be stowed in a safe lockable place.

Dinghy – Please ensure that your dinghy is not left in the water. It should be suitably stowed either on deck or packed away. Particular attention should be paid to floorboards and oars and how the dinghy is secured.

Leaving your fridge slightly open is recommended. From experience we recommend that canned drinks are not left in fridges over prolonged periods.

Remember to turn your gas off.

Remember to take your rubbish out.

If leaving your boat at anchor, please leave your shorelines to be used, in an obvious location in the cockpit lockers, in the event that the boat needs to be brought to the quayside.

Where to anchor:

Please do not anchor too close into the shore. It makes it difficult for vessels leaving and departing from the town quay. Remember to empty your holding tank before entering the bay. It should be noted that under Greek Law an anchor light is required.

Payments to the Company.

Long Term Contracts – Invoices and statements will be issued on a monthly basis.

Prices and estimates.

We will exercise skill and judgment when we give an estimate or indication of price. However, such estimates are always subject to the accuracy of information provided by the customers or by the Company and are usually based only on a superficial examination and will not include the cost of any emergent work which may be necessary to the vessel, gear or equipment nor the cost of any extensions to the work comprised in the estimate. We will inform customers promptly of any proposed increase in estimates prices and the reasons for it and will only proceed with the work or supply with the approval of the customer. The customer shall remain responsible for the cost of labour and materials already supplied or remaining to be supplied which are not affected by the proposed increase in price.

Any time given for completion of our work is given in good faith but is not guaranteed. We shall not be responsible for any delay in completion of the work or for the consequences of any such delay unless it arises from our wilful acts or omissions or from our negligence.

While we or our subcontractors are working on the owner’s vessel or equipment the owner shall not have access to it except by prior arrangement. We will agree reasonable access when it is safe to do so and when it will not interrupt or interfere with our work schedule.

We shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control (such as severe weather conditions, the actions of third parties not employed by us or any defect in a customer’s or third party’s property): this extends to loss or damage to vessel, gear, equipment or other property left with us for work or storage, and harm to person entering our premises or using any of our facilities or equipment. We shall take reasonable and proportionate steps having regards to the nature and scale of our business to maintain security at our premises, and to maintain our facilities and equipment in reasonable working order: but in the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by us vessels and other property are left with us at the customers own risk and customers should ensure that their own personal property insurance adequately covers such risks.

Any defects should be promptly notified to us in writing. On notification by the customer of such defects, we will investigate the cause and if we are responsible under the company will remedy them or, at our opinion, employ other contractors to do so. Any remedial work which is put in hand by the customer directly without first notifying us and allowing us a reasonable opportunity to inspect and agree such work and its costs will invalidate this guarantee in respect of those defects.
