Karia Lefkada: Karia village in the island of Lefkada, Greece, Ionian

Our Impressions:

The beautiful village of Karia sits high, high up in the hills. It is built very much on a slope and the houses here have the wooden shutters and balconies you find on most of the island. There are a few disused houses here that have been overgrown with plants but this only adds to the villages charm. The village’s main street contains quite a few bars a small square and also a very well kept church. Indeed the pale yellow walled church stands out and the bell tower is also worth scrutiny with its blue dome. Outside the bars elderly locals sit and chat and the pace of life seems slow here. The main square has some large trees provide you shade while you take a coffee break. Above the village there is a mass of Cypress trees and from some areas of the village you can also get a good view towards the north.

This is probably the nicest traditional village on the island and if you only visit one it should be here. A longish journey is rewarded with this lovely village and it could also be a good place to stop off for a meal.
