Lefkada Reviews -General

Lefkada was a good experience for us and we had a lot of fun.
We arrived in Greece by plane, in Athens and took the bus to Lefkada. We arrived in the capital of the island.
The town is really original, a bit bizarre: it mainly has wooden houses covered with coloured metal sheet. We asked the reason of this strange architecture and they told us that the entire town had been reconstructed after a great earthquake and that the new way of building it was in order to protect it from eventual earthquakes. We slept in various accommodations and we used the bus for our transportation; bus was okay for the east coast of the island but things got difficult for the western part because there, the bus was really infrequent;
We visited a lot of picturesque villages (the best was Kalamitsi, the oldest village of Lefkada) and went to incredibly beautiful beaches like Kathisma, Porto Katsiki and more. They were endless, with soft white or golden sand and superb turquoise waters; it was as if we were in a tropical place but without the palm trees. Real heaven.
