By AURA Private Yachting ·
AURA offers half-day private boat cruises to Lefkada, Paxos and Ithaca — the same private vessel, the same captain, in a shorter timeframe. Ideal for short visits, families with young children, or combining with other activities.
The Ionian Sea, Fitted to Your Schedule
Not every trip to Greece comes with endless time — and not every day allows for a full-day cruise. We know that. Which is why AURA now offers half-day private boat tours alongside our classic full-day experiences.
Same yacht. Same captain. Same crystalline Ionian water. A shorter window on the sea.
Which Destinations Offer a Half-Day Option?
Half-day departures are available for three of our most iconic routes:
- Lefkada — white cliffs, turquoise bays, and the dramatic coastline that earned Lefkada the nickname “The Caribbean of Greece”
- Paxos & Antipaxos — emerald sea caves, secret beaches, and a harbour village that feels untouched by time
- Ithaca, Meganisi & Atokos — uninhabited islands, hidden coves, and the mythical home of Odysseus
Preveza and our Sunset Cruise remain their own standalone experiences, perfectly sized as they are.
Who Is the Half-Day Option For?
Half-day cruises work especially well for:
Short-break travellers. If you’re spending just two or three nights in the Ionian, a half-day cruise lets you experience the sea without sacrificing an entire day to travel.
Families with young children. A few hours on the water can be perfect for younger guests — long enough for a memorable swim stop, short enough to keep energy levels happy.
Guests combining experiences. Want to do a morning cruise and spend the afternoon in Lefkada Town, or an evening on the water and dinner ashore? The half-day format makes that possible.
First-timers who want a taste. Not ready to commit to a full day at sea? A half-day cruise is the perfect introduction to private yachting — and a reason to come back.
Same Quality, No Compromise
We want to be clear about one thing: a half-day cruise is not a lesser version of the AURA experience. The yacht is the same. The captain is the same. The attention to every detail — the cleanliness of the water, the timing of the light, the stillness of the anchorage — is the same.
What changes is the window of time. What does not change is what happens inside it.
