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.

Boat tour visiting three beaches

- 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.

Is this one for you?The boat leaves from Nidri harbour on the east coast, which is reachable by public transport — so if you're staying elsewhere on Lefkada or arrived without a car, you can still reach three beaches that have no road access and no crowds. The tour handles the boat and the timing, leaving you to swim.

Top questions
Can I swim at all three beaches on the same tour?
Yes. Egremni Beach gets around 2 hours for swimming, Porto Katsiki gets 1 hour with stairs from the anchored boat, and the final stop — either Agiofili or Lakka Beach — is another 1 hour in the water. The boat moves between them in the morning and afternoon.
What is Porto Katsiki like for swimming?
Porto Katsiki is one of Europe's most beautiful beaches and is reached only by boat. The boat anchors offshore and stairs lead down into the sea, so you swim directly from the boat rather than walking onto a beach. The water is crystal clear.
How do I get to Nidri if I don't have a car?
Public transportation options are available near Nidri harbour. The boat departs from the east coast of Lefkada, and the tour is designed for swimmers who want to reach beaches with no road access.
What's included in the tour?
The tour includes umbrellas and shareable snorkelling equipment. A live guide in English, Italian or Greek is with the group throughout the 8 hours. Food and drinks are not included.
What happens if Agiofili Beach is too crowded?
If Agiofili is full, the boat goes to Lakka Beach instead for the final 1-hour swim. Lakka is reachable only by sea and has the same clear water and unorganised, peaceful setting.
Is this tour suitable for families with small children?
Yes, infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and the tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. The swimming stops are flexible — you can stay on the boat if you prefer not to swim at any stop.
