General: Striking nature and beaches

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

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 apartmen...

Beaches: One of the most beautiful in the world

The Egremni beach was absolutely breathtaking... Blue crystalclear water, mountains behind you and the best barman I have ever met (He gives you drinks for free)... I spent 10 day on the island and I saw a lot of beautiful beaches and I was overwhelmed by the contrast between the mountains and the sea... I know for sure where will I spent my next holiday... You should rent a motorbike and trav...

General: Unspoiled and charming

We are just arrived from an amazing holiday in Lefkada and Myrto Apartments was our home on the island. The hotel was one of the best in our holidays in Greece and we travel for many years in this country.The word that define this place is warm and peace and Myrto is a gift for everyone who spend holiday in Lefkada. ...

Villages: Hear the waves at night

Vassiliki is a good location to stay in Lefkada. We stayed in Dimitris Studios as we needed a small, average priced place to spend a week. In general, we prefer family-run studios to big hotels, as we like our vacations to be cozy and quiet. The beach was in a walking distance from out hotel but we also went to other beaches by car. Buses are horrible in Lefkada and in most Greek islands, t...

General: Gorgeous in true sense

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

Gorgeous... just that! This is the only way to describe Lefkada... Excellent beaches (Kathisma, Porto Katsiki) and nice hidden coves only accessible by boat. Rent a boat and make the tour of the island. Scorpios island has the best but it is a private property and you are allowed to swim only in one or two of them. Food was great. Most romantic restaurant was the House of Kofolonus in Nikian...

Beaches: Keep those fantastic beaches clean

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

The beaches on Lefkada are FANTASTIC, especially Egremni, Porto Katsiki, Kalamitsi... Even Thailand doesn't have such beautiful beaches!! Just one thing bothered me, that some people leave trash behind. OK, there are not many bins, but nobody should leave rubbish on the beach. The locals must pay attention on that. If there is nobody who could clean these wonderful beaches, then I will come...)...

General: Most about good beaches

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

Most of all, Lefkada has great beaches. Porto Katsiki and Egremni are the best. Vasiliki beach was not so good, just nice for windsurfing. To my mind, the best beaches are on the western part. The eastern part is less developed and picturesque. Food was also very good on Lefkada and at very reasonable prices. The only bad on the island were the roads, which were too dangerous and with no lights.

Beaches: Great beach

Porto Katsiki is soooooo beautiful. It is definetely one of my top5 favourite beaches in Greece that I went to. Maybe even top3.

General: Drive and see all of the island

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

Lefkada is a gorgeous island with amazing beaches. Egremni and Kathisma are a dream! Apart from the famous beaches, it is also worth seeing other, more remore shores. Drive around the island and see all of it. Rentals are expensive on the island but if you book early, you can save almost half the price. My hotel was in Vasiliki, opposite the port. Every Sunday morning, there was a Mass in a chu...

Beaches: Crystal water

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

I believe Egremni is the best beach on Lefkada. Porto Katsiki was also fine, but too crowded. Egemni though is equally well-organized and as popular as other known beaches on Lefkada. We had some difficulty to find it because the roads were not well-signed but at the end we saw from a turn a gorgeous, long beach. You have to park the car at the road and then you climb down some stairs to reach...

Beaches: Lefkada beaches

Porto katsiki, egkremnoi and kathisma beaches were magnificent. Breathtaking view from above. Egkremnoi beach needs some transportation in order to avoid the numerous stairs, but it rewards you when you are in that wonderful clean water!

General: Breathtaking beaches on the west

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

Lefdaka is a beautiful, amazing island. The beaches of west coast are breathtaking. I recommend visitors to see tha beaches of Porto Katsiki, Egremni and also the beach of Milos, the most isolated I saw. A very good place to stay is Agios Nikitas, a small village near the beaches of Milos and Kathisma. I enjoyed the restaurans in Vassiliki, in the south of the island. The food is very good an...

Beaches: The best beach ever

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

The best beach ever!! Going there was difficult but it was worth it 100% percent!! Very blue water, scenic landscape, great view from the beach bar on top!! I can't descibe you the feeling there, I never thought there was a beach like that in Greece. I believed you could find such beaches only in the Carribean.

General: Nice for windsurfing

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

Lefkada was recommended by friends as having the best beaches in Greece. Indeed, they were lovely and extremely clean. I recommend it especially for family vacations and couples. Everything was very traditional. The island was perfect, with amazing landscapes. You can windsurf on most beaches. The best beach we visited was Porto Katsiki along with Gremni. As for nightlife, there isn't much, but...

General: A very good suggestion

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:21:07 GMT

I have friends on the island, so I decided to visit them combining it with my summer vacations. I already knew about Porto Katsiki Beach, the mountains and the landscapes, but seeing them was fantastic! The island is covered with trees, the beaches are amazing with crystal waters; my favourite activity was swimming. You shouldn't miss the beaches of Porto Katsiki, Nikiana and Myli. However, the...
