Boat-accessed Lefkada caverns with swim-throughs
Caves in Lefkada is a cavern-style boat dive built around swim-throughs, overhead passages, and remnants of a sunken sailing boat that give the site a more enclosed feel than an open reef. It suits certified divers who stay relaxed on buoyancy and move deliberately through the overhead sections. Expect sea bream, parrotfish, octopus, eels, rock lobsters, and the occasional lionfish.
