Boat tour Lefkada: Egremni, Porto Katsiki, Agiofili swimming

Three beaches reachable only by boat, two hours swimming at Egremni alone.

A full-day boat tour from Nidri harbour on the east coast of Lefkada visits three beaches with crystal-clear water and no road access: Egremni Beach for around 2 hours of swimming, Porto Katsiki for 1 hour (stairs lead into the sea from the anchored boat), and either Agiofili or Lakka Beach for a final hour swim. The tour runs 8 hours total and includes umbrellas and shareable snorkelling equipment. A live guide speaks English, Italian or Greek.

Step-by-step itinerary

Boat tour visiting three beaches

• Depart from Nidri harbour
• Swim at Egremni Beach for 2 hours
• Swim at Porto Katsiki for 1 hour
• Swim at Agiofili or Lakka Beach for 1 hour
• Return to Nidri harbour

The experience

The boat leaves Nidri harbour in the morning and heads down the Meganisi channel toward Egremni Beach, where you'll spend roughly 2 hours in the water. The boat takes you directly onto the beach so you can step straight in. This is the longest stop of the day: enough time to swim, float and let the sun work without feeling rushed through it.

Porto Katsiki comes next, a 1-hour swim stop where the boat anchors and stairs lead down into the sea. The itinerary notes it as one of Europe's most beautiful beaches, and the water is the same clear blue you saw at Egremni. The final stop is either Agiofili or Lakka Beach, depending on how full Agiofili is that day: another hour in the water. Lakka is reachable only by sea and sits in a cove with the same pristine conditions. The beaches are unorganised, which means no vendors, no loungers, no crowds pressing in from the shore.

The remaining time across the 8 hours is spent moving between stops. Umbrellas are provided, and if you want to snorkel, shareable equipment is on board. The guide speaks English, Italian or Greek depending on the group, and the whole day is built around swimming, not sightseeing from the deck, but getting in the water at each beach and staying there.

What is Porto Katsiki like for swimming?
