Lefkada Reviews -General

Nationality: Holland
Age: 28

The trip: Plane and bus. It was a nice trip and met friendly people.
Reasons for going to Lefkada: I knew it was a really beautiful place with nice people and great weather. I am coming on this island every summer for 5 years.
Idea before arriving: The first time I came I knew just a little about the island. A friend of mine proposed me to follow him for a two week sailing trip. The boat was moored in Lefkada. I saw some pictures on the internet and really looked amazing. It wasn't my first trip to Greece as I went in the Cyclades Islands once but Lefkada looked totally different. It had these many cliffs and incredible beaches and the town looked very colourful.
Expectations and opinions: It really met my expectations. Lefkada is a great island and must say I felt in love with it. That is the reason why I have spent so many holidays on this island. I felt in love with the beaches and must say that I never saw such beautiful beaches and waters elsewhere. I learned some windsurfing and kite surfing and enjoy that much. Lefkada has the particularity to be a windy place but only in particular hours of the day. There are no many villages except from the capital and the few mountain villages. There are some villages/touristy industry/resorts on the est part of the island but not very beautiful place. The capital is really charming and unique.
Favorite thing about Lefkada: The beaches of the island (Porto Katsiki for bathing and Miloi for wind/kite surfing). The walks in town after great dinners and the friendly and helpful local people.
Negative opinion: There is really nothing negative about the island. Maybe that it can be very windy for those who do not enjoy watersports or sailing.
Recommendations: Just to go to Lefkada. It is a great island not yet saturated but mass tourism. Go there in June, July or September.

I will definitely go back there next year again!
