Zero stars, if it was an option. Extremely poor customer service. The staff is rude and kept this attitude towards the many customers I observed.

They damaged 34 boats in this past month (damaged keels among other issues), including our boat, and three others next to us. 34 damaged boats, as stated by one of the boatyard repair staff yesterday! The yard manager was not going to fix any damage until we requested him to.

The haulout charge is 475 euros to lift, 175 to prop the boat, and 475 to relaunch. Go to one of the 3 boat yards nearby in Preveza, much less expensive and better service!

It is very expensive to stay in a berth here, 100 per night for a 14m catamaran. You can anchor for free outside the marina or is is a few euros to tie up to the town quay.

Other boats who were quoted to winter here found much better prices in Preveza and in Argostoli there is a FREE marina!

Stay far away from Lefkas marina. Also, do not send packages/mail here. They will refuse any deliveries if you are not paying to stay there. No free WiFi, or restrooms/showers.

You have to pay and any money not used up is not refunded. Do not support these awful business practices and instead patronize another business that has better service. This staff clearly would benefit from customer service training.

We spent a week here in mid-May, Monday to Saturday for repairs. Lefkas is a growing Charter base with companies overflowing the available berthing capacity, so space here is restricted and unlikely to improve.

The marina is still expensive, as noted elsewhere, and we took no interest in it. Our Pilot Book (Greek Waters Pilot – Heikell R&L) mentions being able to anchor between the southern part of the town quay and the northern marina berths.

This can be done but when crowded there is little room to swing and the holding is uncertain on regularly ploughed mud. It doesn’t mention the area between the northern end of the Town Quay and the fairway and we saw a couple of yachts anchor here overnight without being challenged.

The Town Quay east of the wooden Café boat is for Charter Boats only and they can legitimately ask you to move. West of that is public and the Harbour Master will charge for use. Usual Greek harbour fees.

Unfortunately, this quay has become crowded with Charter Boats and this early in the season many are not chartered so reducing available space, perhaps things improve in the season. There are a few water points on the Quay, some coin-operated, although even the HM doesn’t know if they work.

There are taps on the quay edge, just follow the hoses from the charter boats! No electricity. Fuel is available by mini tanker. WiFi can be picked up from local tavernas. A note of caution about the area the pilot Book refers to the ‘west side of the canal just above the road bridge’.

Effectively the causeway from town to the swing bridge. This is also public property although the Harbour Master doesn’t walk that far to collect dues. However; a local charter company has appropriated this space and drilled its own eye bolt and mooring rings into the edge of the causeway.

Midweek, when you’d like to think the Charter Boats would be out it, is possible to tie back here, but come Thursday the Charter Company concerned starts making it very clear indeed that you are not welcome.

Their position, robustly stated, is that the causeway is Public but the mooring rings are not. It was even suggested that they would remove their rings if we didn’t go. An interesting legal and practical proposition.

Happily, on Thursday some space became free on the real Town Quay and we didn’t have to see how that would pan out. On a final note of good news, I was expecting to pay to renew our DEPKA but the Port Police did it for free and there was not even a mention of a Cruising Tax.

Hi, fair points, of course 150% is 50% extra. As you say, many places in the med do charge extra for catamarans regardless of their beam or area. As to the 25% winter discount, I was told this doesn’t apply to catamarans (probably since you don’t charge extra, to begin with).

You are right the showers are cheap, but it’s not something I’ve never come across before throughout Spain or Italy, it is something cruisers will be keen to know. It avoids a surprise on arrival, just as they would the berth prices (which are listed online), and water, electricity, and wifi prices.

Very interesting point about Greek Law and marinas being open to the public. Definitely did not know that. The side gate is now closed so anyone coming and going does have to pass the security booth which is good.

When I asked in the office, I was told there were no laundry facilities in town. It turns out there (as you say), just not self-service. There is a good one very close by that I like.

All the best.

Lefkas Marina will start charging 150% for catamarans from next year regardless of their beam. There aa few catalacs and other narrow beam catamarans here, so I can’t seem them sticking around.

There is a laundrette on site in the marina but it is €10 per wash (and there isn’t one in town). Showers are also charged for (first time I’ve ever seen that), and there is no security i.e.

The marina is open for the public to walk around so don’t forget to lock your boat up. Staff in the office are very helpful, and there is a good liveaboard community, but the marina being over-run with charter boats.

Lacks any real atmosphere or sense of community. If you need time on the hard be sure to book well in advance. I arrived in October was told there is no space on the hard for the next 6 months.
