Lefkada Reviews -General

Nationality: Netherlands
Age: 41

The trip: We went to Ancona (Italy) by car and then took the ferry to Igoumenitsa and then car again to Lefkada Island.
Reasons for going to Lefkada: Because it wasn't our first time in Greece and more specificaly on Lefkas Island. A few years ago we went sailing in Greece. The owner of the boat was in Lefkas so Lefkas was the starting point for our boat trip. We found that Lefkas was a great place with extraordinary beaches and many things to do.
Idea before arriving: That Lefkas was an interestingn island only by the fact that it is connected to the mainland by a bridge and that made the island easely reachable.
Expectations and opinions: Yes, the island of Lefkas met our expectations. It is a really beautiful island and you don't get bored here. I like this place much and could go there every year. The beaches of Kalamitsi and Kathisma are incredible. The village of Lefkas is also unique. I like it much even if very different that one can imagine of a greek village. The village of Nidri is too touristy.
Favorite thing about Lefkada: Hotel Adriatica and Kathisma beach.
Negative opinion: I really don't like the village of Nidri and its lack of authenticity. If you like fake greece, fake food and accommodation then Nidri is the perfect place for you. It is too touristy. Everything there is made for the tourists. Similar food, similar shops.
Recommendations: Just visit it all. There are many incredible places. Go to Vassiliki try windsurfing and to Agios Ioannis for Kitesurfing.

Yes, I hope that we will return next year.
