Beaches: The best beach ever

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:19:40 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

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

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...

Villages: Lefkada is very scenic and lush

We picked up our car right after our flight and drove straight to the island, as a result it seemed long (about 6 hours with stops), but it was VERY easy to get to the island and the drive was pleasureable -- beautiful scenery, many clean rest stops along the way. The island is beautiful. It is very scenic and lush. Any pictures that you have seen in brochures or on the Internet really do n...

Tours: We liked the ambiance very much

We've been to many countries and usually we take a guided tour to the places we visit in order to get to know the best of them. So this tour was proposed to us by a travel agency on Lefkada Island. We had a difficulty finding the departure point, but thankfully we got there on time! The trip in the caique was comfortable and we liked the ambiance very much. We had a relaxing time, swimming and ...

Tours: Super Holiday

We visited Lefkada for 3 weeks in June and stayed in the fantastic resort of Vass. We were greatly suprised by the friendly people and the great atmosphere of the place, we felt at home at once. The windsurfing although being our first time was really good fun and so easy to learn, we had lessons with Mateus at Happy surf club and within a few hours we were on our boards even though we are old...

General: Gem of Europe

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:19:40 GMT

It is a perfect family getaway, very romantic place, great marina, one of the best surfing in Europe. The best beach was by far Porto Kachiki. Don't miss visiting the town of Lefkada, Nidri and Vasiliki, and get a boat for a day from Nidri, you won't regret it! The food was great, the restourants were well maintained with very polite and quick stuff, the bakeries were amazing, of course the gyr...

I am from Sweden and I've been to many countries and in almost every place I visit I like to take a guided tour to get to know the sites. This particular tour was proposed to us by a travel agency on the island of Lefkada. We received a warm welcome at the departure point and we left on a caique for a 9-hour tour around the small islands near Lefkada. The trip was very comfortable, we were offe...

General: A lot of places to visit and see

"I chose Greece and Lefkada in particular because of the easy access there by car, without the need of traveling by boat to get there. It was not the first time visiting Lefkada and it is famous for the great Mediterranean landscapes and the wonderful beaches. I enjoyed a lot my stay there. The island was beautiful, full of trees, picturesque villages, amazing beaches, everything was perfect. I...
