But first you'll swing by two of Lefkada's stunning beaches – Egremmi and Porto Katsiki – for some free time to swim and sunbathe. Afterwards, you'll sail to Fiskardo on the northern tip of Kefalonia, often dubbed the St Tropez of Greece.Enjoy some free time to meander around and have a coffee by the water before casting off for nearby Ithaca island – homeland of mythical Odysseus, the man who built the Trojan horse – for some more time on a pristine beach. Then, on your way back, we'll detour to Papanikolis sea cave on Meganisi island, believed to be a submarine hiding spot during the Second World War.

Half-day Lefkada history tour in Greece

This tour starts high in the mountains of Lefkas near Agios Donatos, where you'll spot Cold War relics like old communication towers and observation posts from a former US Air Force site that was active in the late 20th century. From up here, the views alone are well worth the trip. Then, you'll head through forested trails to Karya and Eglouvi, where you'll check out the ancient stone vaults that once stored the island's prized mountain‑grown lentils.
