Today we rented the Viper Bullet Black (Agios Nikolaos) (6.5m) from Pipis boats. Great experience. We got a filled cool box with ice and bottles of water. He gave us advice for nice beaches and a clear explanation about the boat. They are friendly, helpful and a very neat bill for the petrol on return. I can recommend it to everyone. Good company.
Great family run business. Very kind and professional. They give you lots of POI's and useful advices to visit. Unfortunately you have limited area of exploring if using smaller boats (up to 60HP). We had a great time exploring tje sea. Service is fast and friendly. Next time we'll get the bigger boat :)
We had a fantastic day on the water thanks to Pipis Boats. While they also have boats available for those without a Powerboat licence, we bare-boat chartered their 7.8m Eagle RIB which was a great boat and very well equipped. As you would hope, all the relevant safety equipment was present including auxiliary motor with separate fuel tank. The explanation of the boat was thorough and they provided suggested places to visit, helpfully dropping pins on Google Maps so you could refer to it during the day. The Garmin chart plotter was up to date and provided us with all the information we needed including depth to give us confidence navigating around the islands. We visited the caves which were spectacular, stopped for lunch in Vassiliki and went to the west side of island where the sea was the most amazing bright blue colour. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of dolphins before anchoring up in a remote cove for some snorkeling before heading home. An amazing day, thank you so much.
Rented a bigger boat that required a license. It was in great condition with no issues whatsoever. Provided us with life jackets for the kids and cold water. I am not the most experienced skipper but was provided with clear instructions and map of all interesting locations in the area. Great experience, highly recommended!
such a cool experience! we did not know how to drive a boat but for smaller ones you do not need license and the owner explained everything super well! very easy actually and there are amazing beaches to explore 😊🙌we will come again
Beautiful experience, excellent service! The boat broke down, but within 20 minutes they arrived and replaced it with another one – very professional and efficient. The only issue was that on the first day they forgot to register our reservation, so make sure to confirm it in advance. We even saw dolphins – unforgettable!
Highly recommend. I rented two different boats, a small and a bigger one ( I have license). Both boats were in very good condition & clean,. Each time we received a box with ice and water from the owner and also suggestions where to go. The prices were also good, among the smallest you can find. Highly recommend
We had a truly wonderful experience! The boat was in excellent condition — clean, spacious, and very well-maintained. The service was also top-notch; the staff and owners were incredibly kind, helpful, and professional. I highly recommend this business without hesitation — we’ll definitely be back!

Nice lounge beach bar!
Used to be a better place. You pay 10e for a chair set and you are not allowed to eat any outside snack. Boats are anchored near the shore and you may ended up swimming next to them. Not sure about other beach bars nearby but spend your extra money and visit a different beach on the island. Beach below average on this island. Convenient parking though.
Very nice environment with old dirty furniture but service will ruin your apetite! Waited for 45 minutes as the waiter was passing by and ignoring us (there were few clients at that time) and ended up playing on the grass and ordered just a bottle of water at the bar. Then he pretended to have asked us but we refused to order. Dont bother to visit!
They charge €5 per sunbed which is greedy for what they offer. It is a chilled out place for families etc. Nothing special but not bad either.
good location, not allowed to eat food not bought by them..the proble is that their chicken can cook only 2kinds of pasta(terrible greek pasta) and 2 toats and wraps. so I reccomend to give more and more opportunity in your menu!
Nice beachbar, good ambient, a bit high prices but not highest on Lefkas. Staff speaks english so no problem ordering.
A very nice beach, intimate, good music and nice people; perfect for swimming and relaxing!
Very good place to relax, the price is economy and the quality is the best.I recommend it!

This September my son completed PADI Open Water Course with Lefkas Diving Centre. Excellent tuition and care taken by Instructor Kostas. As a Dive Instructor myself I wanted to know everything was safe and that he would have a fun experience - thanks again to the Lefkas Team!
100% recommend Lefkas Diving Center - they are brilliant. Myself and my husband signed up to learn to Dive. We decided to sign up to do the open water Diver course. On our first day we met our instructor Theo along with Stavros who we had met earlier when discussing our options. Both were very knowledgeable and friendly. Theo was our instructor with Stavros over seeing. I will say I wasn't 100% comfortable underwater initially, although my husband absolutely loved it. I had a bit of a wobble when out in deeper water. Theo was amazing and kept me calm so I didn't rush to the surface and kept my control. This knocked my confidence a little, but I had so much faith in Theo I was happy to give it another go knowing I was well looked after. Theo has a great manner he is calm, knowledgeable, and friendly. I decided to stick at Scuba Diver at this point until I build more confidence, but my husband completed his open water diver. He loved it. Theo and Stavros didn't push me but gave me the confidence to believe I would get there! Thank you!!
Had the best time diving with this funny crew. The whole time my friend and I were laughing, and felt safe. Would recommend this company to anyone looking to have a nice dive while in Greece 🤩🤩
Two days of amazing diving thanks to Lefkas Diving Center! Stavros, Makis and the whole team of the center made our dives unforgettable. We have dived with dive centers all over Egypt (from Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada to Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam), Sardinia, the Canaries, the Maldives, Cuba... so, in terms of positivity, professionalism (as a dive center), the pleasure you get when diving with them - they are the best. On the first day we dived with a group of divers near Scorpidi and Sparta. We met a large school of barracudas (the photo does not convey even 10% of the emotions when you get into a school of these predators). On the second day there was individual diving. We dived near the Blue Cave and then there was a sunken sailboat near Scorpidi. The location of the Blue Cave is simply amazing! First, a wall going into the abyss, then moving along the wall you see ahead (not below, exactly ahead) absolute blackness and after it you find yourself in a canyon. The blue light behind you is something incredible! We categorically recommend this location for morning dives! Thanks to the Lefkas Diving Center team for the ocean of emotions, hospitality and professionalism!!!
Excellent for an introduction to scuba diving. Theo was a fabulous instructor who explained everything prior and during the two dives I had the opportunity to take. The dive itself was stunning; the visibility was amazing and we were able to see lots. Thank you 🙏
We had an amazing experience during our Discovery course! Our instructor, Theo, was absolutely fantastic. He explained all the physics and diving concepts in a super clear and engaging way. The whole course was so much fun, and we even got to see an octopus! Highly recommend!
Our 12-year-old son completed his PADI course with Lefkas Diving Center and had a fantastic experience. Makis was a professional and patient instructor. Highly recommended!
Absolutely brilliant experience - this was my first time diving, getting my open water diving license, and my instructor Theo made it an a perfect time. Come here for great company, amazing teaching, and a gorgeously streamlined yet gorgeous experience. Thank you so much guys!!

PBG maintains strict guidelines and focuses solely on the needs of its customers. Our reservation for our Lefkada holiday was booked months in advance. Our business trip was made comfortable and productive by the brand-new car's perfect condition and Internet connectivity. For the first time, I found bottles of water waiting for me in the car, and everyone in the team had arrived on time. The staff and customer service were first-rate. That's a service that makes everything easy, beautiful, and awesome!
This PBG facility is where we leased a Fiat Panda, and we had an excellent experience. Excellent rates are offered, and complete insurance is included. The car was immaculate, and the staff was really friendly. Their proficiency and lucid correspondence were noteworthy. We made our reservation over the phone, and when we got there, everything was ready. Outstanding assistance! Next year, we want to visit the stunning Nikiana once more.
Consistent service at affordable costs. We have been renting a family car from PBG Limitless for years, and we couldn't be happier. prioritize efficiency, speed, excellent quality, and your demands. We consistently offered competitive rates together with excellent full insurance; the service is well worth ten. I appreciate your effort!
I will definitely use PBG Limitless again. I ordered a Jeep and got a Jeep, perfect, great service, they met us at the airport, we walked across the road 3 minutes to the petrol station, did the paperwork and we were off. On return I fueled up at the petrol station, did the paperwork and walked 3 minutes back over to the airport. So easy.
We leased a car from Nikiana in late May, and we were really happy with the service. We're so impressed that we've already reserved another room for September. We will tell our friends who are traveling to Lefkas about this delightful and reasonably priced location.
They provide an exceptional car rental experience with a friendly and highly knowledgeable team. Offering fantastic rates and top-notch service, Panos and his team consistently impress their customers by ensuring everything runs smoothly and without any issues.
I've used a lot of different car rental companies because I visit Lefkada quite a bit. This was by far the easiest pick-up and return I have ever experienced; it took about ten minutes to pick up the car and even less time to return, and the staff was really friendly. I also liked that I made the book in with PBG Limitless, so if there had been anything to sort out on my return, it would have been simple
Panos at PBG Limitless runs the most organized and efficient car rental service in Lefkada. We explored a few rental options before choosing PBG, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the brand-new vehicle in excellent condition. Our entire rental experience was seamless, and when we return to Lefkada, we’ll definitely rent from PBG again.

(Translated by Google) It is located on the mountain of Skaros, above Nikiana, a village in eastern Lefkada. This location was chosen for asceticism by three of the Fathers who accompanied the then bishop Agatharchos on his return from the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. It is built on a rock while the three Fathers "sleep" in an adjacent cave. They were buried in the cave that is today the small temple, and holy water constantly flows from the grave of one. The "seal of the Holy Fathers" belongs to the hermitage, lead, circular, engraved with the three figures of the Saints. In the last centuries the monastery functioned as a share of I. Monastery of Ag. Georgiou in Skaros, with nuns until 1978. (Original) Βρίσκεται στο βουνό των Σκάρων, πάνω από τη Νικιάνα, χωριό της ανατολικής Λευκάδας. Την τοποθεσία αυτή επέλεξαν για να ασκητεύσουν τρεις από τους Πατέρες που συνόδευαν τον τότε επίσκοπο Αγάθαρχο στην επιστροφή του από την Α΄ Οικουμενική Σύνοδο της Νίκαιας το 325 μΧ. Είναι χτισμένο σε βράχο ενώ σε διπλανή σπηλιά “κοιμούνται” οι τρεις Πατέρες. Θάφτηκαν στο σπήλαιο που σήμερα είναι ο μικρός ναός και από τον τάφο του ενός αναβλύζει διαρκώς αγίασμα. Στο ησυχαστήριο ανήκει η «σφραγίδα των Αγίων Πατέρων», μολύβδινη, κυκλική, με χαραγμένες τις τρεις μορφές των Αγίων. Τους τελευταίους αιώνες το μοναστήρι λειτουργούσε ως μετόχι της Ι. Μονής Αγ. Γεωργίου στους Σκάρους, με μοναχές ως το 1978.
Wonderful cave that looks like the roof is held up by a single piece of very old wood. Well worth the walk up from nikiana beach and there is a tap with fresh drinking water to help you on your way. Yes there are spiders and cobwebs occasionally stretching across the road but they are easy to avoid or push out of the way with a stick! The views of the bay below are stunning. You can continue up to the hill above and there is a circular hike around the hilltop to another 2 monasteries. Two thirds of this summit route are on a very pleasant rocky track through the woods marked by occasional splodges of red paint. Beware though it's 5km up 5km round and 5km down so best done early morning or late evening with lots of water.
Worth a stop even if you are not a devout Christian. Nice shade and peace and quiet
(Translated by Google) Nothing special. The monastery itself is not accessible and theoretically the small cave with the altar inside is also closed. But it is only closed off with a rope and therefore accessible. It doesn't pay to go extra. (Original) Nicht besonderes. Das Kloster selbst ist nicht begehbar und theoretisch die kleine Höhle mit dem Altar im Inneren auch zu. Ist aber nur mit einem Seil abgesperrt und daher zugänglich. Extra hinfahren zahlt sich nicht aus.
(Translated by Google) Old monastery at a distance of about 5 kilometers from Nikiana in a beautiful place worth visiting (Original) Παλιό μοναστήρι σε απόσταση 5 περίπου χιλιομέτρων από την Νικιάνα σε ένα όμορφο χώρο που αξίζει να επισκεφτείς
(Translated by Google) In the middle of nature and in an idyllic landscape is the old monastery of the Holy Fathers. Absolute silence here. (Original) Μέσα στη φύση και σ' ένα ειδυλλιακό τοπίο βρίσκεται το παλιό μοναστήρι των Αγίων Πατέρων.Η απόλυτη ησυχία εδώ.
(Translated by Google) It looked quite interesting from the outside. Unfortunately it was closed in broad daylight and it was impossible to find out when it was open. (Original) Das sah von außen ganz interessant aus. Leider war es am helllichten Vormittag geschlossen und es war nicht herauszubekommen wann es geöffnet ist.
(Translated by Google) It is located on the mountain of Skara above Nikiana. It is built on a rock while the 3 fathers were buried in an adjacent cave where today is the small church and holy water is constantly gushing out. Until 1978, nuns lived there. (Original) Βρίσκεται στο βουνό των Σκαρων πάνω από τη Νικιανα. Είναι χτισμένο σε βράχο ενώ σε διπλανή σπηλιά θαφτηκαν οι 3 πατέρες όπου σήμερα είναι ο μικρός ναός και αναβλυζει συνέχεια αγιασμα. Έως το 1978 κατοικούσαν μοναχες.
