About This Adventure
Experience a tailor-made day cruise aboard the Christina, exploring stunning beaches and islands from Nidri. Choose from three unique zones, each offering breathtaking sights and activities like snorkeling or village visits. Enjoy soft drinks onboard, with optional catering or a delightful harborside lunch, making your adventure truly unforgettable.
The Christina can be chartered for a day cruise from Nidri to the surrounding beaches and islands between the hours of 9am and 6pm. The day is completely bespoke, designed specifically for you and your family and friends – maybe you would like more time at the beaches, or exploring the best snorkel sites? Maybe you’d like to explore the traditional villages on the neighbouring islands? We will design a day just for you. If you are unsure where exactly you would like to visit on your private charter, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to come up with a few proposals for you to consider.
There are 3 zones that you can choose from to explore on your private charter.
Zone A incorporates the islands of Skorpios, Meganisi (including the Cave of Papanikolis), Kalamos and Kastos, plus the area of the mainland opposite Lefkada (Gerakas beach, Paleros, Aitolokarnania)
Zone B covers the southern and south western part of Lefkada, including the world-famous beaches Porto Katsiki and Egremni, plus the ports of Syvota and Vassiliki.
Zone C includes the northern coastlines of Kefalonia (including the village of Fiskardo) and Ithaka, plus the beach of Agiofili on Lefkada
Charter fee: Zone A 3200 euros / Zone B 3400 euros / Zone C 3550 euros
The charter fee includes soft drinks and mineral water throughout the day. We would be happy to provide catering on board (for an extra fee, price depending on catering preference) or we can incorporate a stop in a harbourside village for you to enjoy lunch in a restaurant.
