Operated by TREKKING HELLAS · Nydri, Lefkada
A low-slung harbor hums in the morning light as paddles cut glassy Ionian water and Nydri slips astern. The route pushes south from the port, past jutting headlands and into a string of private islets—Madouri's green shoulders give way to Skorpios, the island once owned by Aristotle Onassis—each shore offering a different shade of blue and a quieter vantage of Lefkada's limestone coast.

Moderate: comfortable with continuous paddling for 1–2 hours at a stretch and basic swimming ability
A moderate fitness level is required: you should be able to paddle continuously for up to 90 minutes total, with short rest stops; guides provide technique briefings for beginners.
Trips are canceled or rescheduled for rough sea conditions; full refunds are available if canceled at least 24 hours prior or by the operator due to weather.
Yes—lunch of traditional Greek products is included; operators can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free requests if notified in advance.
Meet at the Nydri harbor quay; arrive 20–30 minutes early for kit fitting, safety briefing, and a short skills check.
Skorpios became internationally known in the 1960s as the private island estate of shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis; the area retains private ownership and a layer of modern history atop older Ionian seafaring traditions.
Respect private-island boundaries, avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, and pack out all waste—operators often follow strict no-plastic and low-impact beach protocols.
