I first visited Lefkada with my friends this summer. The island is really pretty. The beautiful landscapes, the array of wild flowers and the dense vegetation everywhere renders a striking and admirable picture.
We stayed at an apartment in Agios Nikitas. It is a lovely fishing village. This village is filled with olive groves and one can literally smell olives sometimes. Since our apartment had a sea facing view, each day we used to enjoy amazing sunrise views. The local taverns make some delicious Greek dishes. The meat dishes were really my favorites. The golden sandy beach of Agios Nikitas is very clean but usually crowded. We enjoyed swimming in the warm turquoise waters. The sun beds were ideal to relax after long hours of swimming. The beach bars cater some fantastic and rejuvenating cocktails.
We also hopped around some touristy places with a car we rented. We visited Agia Mavra Castle, Porto Katsiki beach and Damossari Waterfalls. I would recommend the beach of Porto Katsiki to visit on
Lefkada and the beach of Egremni, which is a bit less crowded. Both have exceptionally charming natural surroundings.
