Kavos Cruises is a Lefkimmi-based boat operator offering daily excursions around southern Corfu and nearby islands. From Lefkimmi the company runs four main trips: Sivota - Blue Lagoon and Cave Sunset Cruise, Boat Party - Kavos Booze Cruise, Paxos Antipaxos & Caves Cruise, and Morning Sivota - Blue Lagoon Cruise. Each trip departs from Lefkimmi and ranges from five to seven hours, combining sightseeing, swimming, and on-board refreshments.
Trips visit notable sites including the Papanikolis sea cave, the Blue Lagoon, Anti‑Paxos beaches, and the fishing village of Sivota. The Paxos and Antipaxos cruise also calls at Gaios for shopping and traditional Greek dining. The Boat Party features DJs, a powder throw at the Rave in the Cave, and opportunities to swim and dance on deck.
On all cruises passengers can expect snorkeling stops in clear waters, time for swimming from the boat, and casual on-board service with drinks and light refreshments. Routes emphasize natural landmarks and accessible shore visits rather than inland excursions.
Kavos Cruises presents options for travelers seeking relaxed sightseeing or high-energy party experiences. Departure point, trip durations, and daily schedules are provided at booking. Travelers planning to snorkel should bring suitable gear and sun protection. Booking available locally.
