Sea Kayaking Excursion to Meganisi Island from Nidri in Lefkada

Lefkada is a beautiful island located in Greece's Ionian group of islands. The island is known for its picturesque beaches, traditional villages and turquoise waters. This sea kayaking excursion in Lefkada departs from Nidri, a bustling village situated on the island's eastern coast, famous for its scenic harbour and lively waterfront.

The sea kayaking trip begins at the starting point in Nidri, where you'll be greeted by the certified instructor. After receiving the equipment (single kayak, paddle, life vest, and dry bag), the instructor will go through a quick safety briefing. Previous sea kayaking experience is recommended for this trip. Once everyone is prepared, you'll begin paddling along the coast of Lefkada.

As you paddle, you'll have scenic views of the island's northern coastline and you'll pass by the evergreen islet of Valaoritis. The first stop on the kayaking tour in Lefkada is at Scorpios, famously associated with the late Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who transformed it into a luxurious retreat. You'll enjoy the island's pristine beach and indulge in a delicious snack.

The sea kayaking adventure then continues to Meganissi, a nearby island that is also part of the Ionian group. It is home to secluded coves and charming villages. You'll stop at Roka Beach and disembark from the kayak, enjoying a short hike to the traditional village of Spartochori. Perched on a hill, this village offers stunning panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. You'll explore the village's narrow, winding streets and historic stone houses and take in the authentic Greek atmosphere.

After visiting Spartochori, you'll return to Roka Beach for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. Snorkelling gear will also be provided for you to experience the fascinating seabed. Then, a Mediterranean light lunch will be served as you relax on the beach's golden sand and admire the magnificent views. As you begin paddling back towards Lefkada, you'll stop at the Red Beach for one last swim. The sea kayaking in Lefkada comes to an end at the starting point in Nidri.

Spend your day swimming, paddling and exploring a bustling Greek village on this sea kayaking excursion to Meganisi Island from Nidri in Lefkada!
