Starting with one of our speedboats from Sivota
you have so many options for your trip. There are about a hundred of ideal
paradise beaches around the south – east costs of Lefkas together with a number
of other smaller islands as well. Before you start we will be very happy to
provide you a map with marked some of the best places to be for swimming,
landscape and of course places where you may stop for a lunch by the sea. Our suggestion will always be to visit the
beautiful bays and harbors where you cannot reach by car during your stay on
Lefkas. So like this you will avoid the packed noisy beaches with hundreds
other people driving there and you may always have your privacy and comfort
with your family and friends. There is no point to visit places with a boat
where you can drive with a car. This in any case you may do any other day that
you will not have the boat. Except the main beaches where you may drive to with
a car there are many more that you may access by boat only and enjoy your time
in peace and privacy. Some of the beaches are hidden or big enough just for one
boat parked so you may have your private paradise!
Except Lefkas, some of the other nearby islands
that you may visit with our boats are:
- a)Meganisi
with 2 main harbors on the north part of the island, Spartochori and Vathy,
where you may stop for a lunch during your day trip. And so many beautiful
beaches and caves all along the west side down to the very south of it. On
Meganisi there is the famous Papanikolis cave with its active part in history
as a hide and ambush place for a small submarine during 2nd ww, and
on top of it its everlasting wild beauty. Papanikolis cave is so big that you
may drive in with the boat and inside at the end of it there is hidden a small
beach. Apart its caves, on the island you will discover so many sunny and
crystal water beaches that you need more than a day to enjoy most of it.
- b) Scorpios and the “Prince Islands”. A group
of small islands north of Meganisi, with Scorpios standing out for its unique beauty
and history of international jet set. Former owned by the great Aristotelis
Onasis family has hosted so many famous people from around the world. Today is
again a private island, of Russian millionaire Ribolovlef family, but still it
is allowed the approach and swimming on the south beach of island. Except
Scorpios Island there are another 2 islands next to it, Sparti and Tsokari
still owned by Onasis family, Madouri and Cheloni owned from Greek national
poet Aristotlis Valaoritis family and last Scorpidi Island.
- c)Kalamos
with the tradional fishing harbor of it, the blue green water beaches and the
deserted village of Porto Leone that time has stopped on the big earthquake of
1954. And just across of it the traditional city of Mitikas, build right on the
water just like another little Venice.
- d)Kastos
(seal cave), Arcoudi and Atokos with its one house bay and cliff bay, are also
some nearby islands that definitely worth a visit and there to amaze you!
