2.From Lefkimmi: Paxos, Antipaxos & Blue Caves Speedboat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 431 reviews · 7 hours · from $53 a head

Join Kavos Cruises for a seven-hour speedboat trip from Lefkimmi to the Blue Caves, Antipaxos, and Gaios. You will cruise into the caves for photos, swim in clear water, and get two hours in Paxos town for lunch and shopping. Captain Spiros and the crew are known for a friendly onboard atmosphere, though the boat can feel sunny and lively on the return ride.

“The experience was beautiful, just as it was described, and overall we enjoyed it. However, I believe there is room for improvement in order to make it truly unforgettable and value for money. For instance, even small touches such as offering complimentary water would make a meaningful difference. Compared to other islands, the services and pricing still feel a bit behind. With some upgrades and more attention to detail, this cruise could definitely become a must-do experience”

4.From Lefkimmi: Sivota,Blue Lagoon & Cave Cruise by Speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 83 reviews · 7 hours · from $35 a head

Spend seven hours cruising from Lefkimmi to Papanikolis Sea Cave, the Blue Lagoon, Sivota, and a final beach stop. You can swim, snorkel with provided goggles, browse Sivota, and enjoy music, an onboard bar, and an English or Greek-speaking host. Expect a small-boat feel, with one reported outing carrying about 30 people.

“Csodálatos napunk volt a hajón. A programleírásnak megfelelően meglátogattunk 2 lagúnát, ahol úszni és búvárkodni is tudtunk. A kb 2 órás megálló alatt Sivota városban tudtunk ebédelni, járni az utcákat és a kis boltokat. A hajós kapitány nagyon közvetlen és vicces volt, pont amilyennek elképzeltünk egy görög hajóskapitányt. A túrát úgy találtam, hogy a legalacsonyabb árra szűrtem a szigeten a hasonló programok között, mégis ez egyáltalán nem érződött a nap során. Szívből ajánlom a programot.”

“The speedboat ride was thrilling—especially the surfing maneuvers paired with the song “Born to Be Wild.” Meeting point info was unclear; GPS led us 5 mins away from the actual spot, with no signage or parking guidance. Even arriving early, we had to repark and rush to check in. Lunch at the restaurant Oasis in the main stop island took 1.5 hours to arrive, leaving no time to explore the island or beach. Food didn’t match expectations based on the local setting. That said, the views from the water and swimming spots were breathtaking. We felt safe throughout, and the captain’s passion made the experience fun. Worth it for the…”
