Discover

Lefkada

Lefkada is not just an island; it is the gateway to the Southern Ionian. Connected to the mainland by a bridge, it is the most accessible charter base in Greece. Famous for the white cliffs of Porto Katsiki and the windsurfers of Vassiliki, it offers a unique blend of high-adrenaline sailing on the West Coast and calm, protected cruising on the East Coast.

Our Pick

Must-Visit by Boat in Lefkada

Our picks of Coastal Gems accessible by yacht.

Sailing Sivota Lefkada

Sivota Bay

The Vibe: This is the "See and Be Seen" bay. It is shaped like a horseshoe and is incredibly sheltered, making it a favorite for yachts. The village wraps around the quay, so the "action" is right in front of your boat.
The View: You are looking at a theatre of masts. The best view is sitting at a quay-side café in the evening, watching the late arrivals try to parallel dock their yachts (always entertaining!).

Sailing in Vasiliki Lefkada

Vasiliki

The Vibe: Two worlds in one day. In the morning, it is calm and sleepy. In the afternoon, the famous "Eric" thermal wind kicks in, and the bay fills with hundreds of colorful windsurfers.
The View: From the Harbor, you look out towards the open sea and the islands of Kefalonia and Ithaca in the distance. From Ponti (The Beach side), you look back at the village and the mountain backdrop, with windsurfers flying across the foreground.

Vliho Bay & Geni

The Vibe: Vliho is like a lake—calm, flat, and surrounded by mountains. Geni is the wooded peninsula on the opposite side of the town. It is quiet, green, and feels like a secret garden accessible by dinghy.
The View from Geni: You sit under trees at the water's edge, looking back across the calm bay towards the lights of Vliho and Nidri. It is arguably the most romantic evening setting in the Ionian.
