Excellent team, well organised, brilliant holiday
I’ve been on a few swim holidays in Lefkada and Crete organised by the Big Blue Swim and they have all been excellent. Great locations, well organised, super friendly swim guides, lovely people, reasonably priced. What more could you want.

A swimmers paradise.
Booked the longer swims week and found the format superb. Swims morning and afternoon with fabulous lunches in selected tavernas across the islands and mainland surrounding Lefkada. The guides and the boat were first class. A swimmers paradise.

We had a great swim trip to Lefkada…
We had a great swim trip to Lefkada last September with The Big Blue. So much fun and so many memories. We saw dolphins and thoroughly enjoyed the Greek Night at our accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble and all our swims felt super safe and prepared. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough!

Highly recommend BIg Blue
Highly recommend BIg Blue. Have taken part in Lefkada and going to Crete this year.
Well organised and every detail makes for a wonderful week. Fun, safe with a great boat and superb team and accommodation.
Great to support a smaller business who are clearly passionate about the sea and the enjoyment of guests.

Fantastic Swim Holiday
It was a fantastic experience from start to finish - the staff supporting us were very professional yet friendly and made sure all swimmers, whatever their previous experience, felt confident and enjoyed their swims - even the five kilometre challenge! Every day a different location for the swims and a different place for a lazy lunch and time to look around. The hotel for the Lefkada holiday was great - easy to reach the swim boat and handily close to a range of restaurants for evening meals. The rooms were good sizes and breakfast is included - and a pool for those still keen for more water! We were a mixture of friends, family and single swimmers and I think all of us felt like a group from day one! Highly recommended

Love love love this adventure
Just back from a great week with this lot. Loved loved loved it. Was quite a challenge for a inexperienced newbie but the sea was kind and the scenery breathtaking. Lots of pinch me moments sailing along on Mogli to our next swim/ lunch destination. Can’t rate the team highly enough- super supportive and great company. Highly recommend
