General: Meet the neighbor

If you travel to Lefkada, make sure you visit the beautiful neighboring island of Meganisi. The access is very easy, you will go to Nydri and from there you will take the ferry boat that gets you there in 25 minutes. The route with a ferry is lovely. We saw many small islets scattered around the island. In Meganisi...

General: View of a lovely place

Meganisi is still a lovely place to stay, great out of the way beaches, laid back style and I would visit again, however I would not stay in Vathi again unless out of the main area. We stayed right next to the Rose Garden and the noise from the flotilla yachts was too much. We moved to the hotel in Katomeri where the rooms were bigger and cleaner and much quieter. My biggest disappointment ...

General: Wonderful small island

I regret we didn't stay in Meganisi for more than a day. We go to Lefkada every summer for the last three days and only last summer did we discover this small paradise opposite Nydri!!! I feel unforgivable not to go to Meganisi sooner and I also feel sad that I didn't know how beautiful it was to book some nights there...

General: Ban cars and permit only buses

It is a bit difficult to go to Meganisi because you have to change many means. We landed in Athens, then took the bus to Lefkada, then the bus to Nidri and then the ferry to Meganisi. This trip took us a whole day, which means two days less in our vacations, but the island was worth it!! Small and beautiful, with very ...

General: Clean beaches and fresh fish

You don't need many days to see Meganisi, as the island is so tiny you can trek around it. We went there from Nydri, Lefkada, and I believe this is the only way to go. The island is very beautiful, the top is the green beaches with small pebbles and crystal sea. These are some of the cleanest beaches I have seen in Greece (I generally think the Ionian has better beaches than the Aegean sea). Va...

General: Smell the fresh air

I was not expecting much from Meganisi as I thought it would be a cool, boring island. However, at the end of the weekend, I didn't want to leave. I had gone to Meganisi only for three days but I found a pretty island with gorgeous beaches and lovely people. Take the boat from Vathi, make the tour of the island and step out in the most secluded beach. You can find beautiful beches everywhere, b...

General: A daily excursion from Lefkada

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

We went to Meganisi only for a day from Nydri Lefkada. I personally liked it a lot. Picturesque villages, great beaches, delicious seafood. We didn't see a lot of the island, just Vathi and the nearest beach, but I felt it would be a cool weekend destination. In winter, though, things must be pretty tough for the permanent residents. I was also amazed that there was so much greenery on such a t...
