Yacht charter from Lefkas, in the heart of the Ionian

Lefkas Town (Lefkada), on the north-eastern side of the island, is a perfect place to start exploring the northern or southern Ionian Islands. From Corfu and Paxos in the north to Kefalonia and Ithaca in the south, there are islands to suit all tastes.

You can pick up your yacht from the modern, fully equipped Lefkas Marina in Lefkas Town, or from Nikiana harbour on the island’s east coast. Either way, the calm, warm waters of the Ionian Sea are right on your doorstep, with quiet islands such as Meganisi, Kastos and Ithaca within easy reach.

Sail on your own as a bareboat charter, or add a skipper or host so you can simply relax and enjoy the islands.
