Nidri

**Yes — it is the best thing to do from Nidri, because these islands can only be seen from the sea.** ✅ **What you see**: **Meganisi** — the largest and inhabited, with villages, coves and a **sea cave (Papanikolis)**, usually with a landing for an hour or for lunch. **Skorpios** — the private island bought by **Aristotle Onassis**, ⚠ **where landing is not permitted at all**; you see it from the water. **Madouri** — a small island that belonged to the poet **Aristotelis Valaoritis**, ⚠ also private. And little **Sparti**. ✅ **The real value**: **stopping to swim in coves unreachable by land** — still, exceptionally clear water between the islands, **the calmest water anywhere on Lefkada**. ⚠ **What to know**: the cruises are **crowded** at peak (large boats); **choose a smaller boat if you can**. ⚠ **Trips can be cancelled in wind.** ✅ **Some cruises continue to Porto Katsiki** — **which is the best deal of all**: two islands and two beaches with no driving and no steps.
