Despite arriving late and finding our original marina fully booked, the owner of Porto Spilia went above and beyond to accommodate us. He personally came to the dock, talked us through the docking process, and ensured we were safely secured. His helpfulness and expertise turned a potentially stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience. We are incredibly grateful for his assistance and highly recommend Porto Spilia to anyone visiting the area!

A hidden gem! This stunning spot is perfect for a relaxing lunch break or a refreshing swim. While it may not be ideal during strong northerly winds, on calm days it offers an idyllic escape.

Meganisi: Where time slows down and memories are made.
Harbours & Havens Fit for Heroes
Fear not, brave adventurer, for Meganisi offers safe harbours and modern marinas to rest your sea-faring chariot. Vathi, the main port, welcomes you with open arms and tavernas overflowing with delicious Greek fare. Spartochori, perched high on a hill, offers breathtaking views and a glimpse into the island’s traditional soul. And for those seeking a bit more hustle and bustle, the nearby island of Lefkada boasts a lively marina with all the amenities a demigod could desire.
Anchor Away & Dive into Paradise
But the true magic of Meganisi lies in its secluded anchorages and pristine beaches. Drop anchor in the turquoise embrace of Abelike Bay, where the water is so clear you'll swear you can see Poseidon's palace shimmering on the seabed. Or explore the hidden coves of the southern coast, where the only footprints in the sand will be your own. And for a taste of paradise, set sail for the iconic Papanikolis Cave, a natural wonder whispered to have sheltered the legendary Greek submarine during World War II.
Island Adventures: From Ancient Echoes to Sunset Bliss
Meganisi isn't just about sun-kissed skin and salty hair (although those are pretty amazing perks). Wander through the charming villages, where time seems to slow down and the locals greet you with smiles as warm as the Mediterranean sun. Explore ancient ruins, hike through olive groves, and discover hidden chapels that whisper tales of the island's rich history. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, raise a glass to the gods and goddesses who blessed this island with their favor.
