MORE ABOUT LEFKADA GREECE
Also known as the “Caribbean of Greece”, Lefkada Greece stands out for its exotic ambiance and breathtaking natural landscape!
The main reason why Lefkada is wildly famous is its beaches! You might have seen many pictures of the iconic Lefkada beaches, but, trust us, the reality far exceeds any expectations. Sandy and shrine, with mesmerizing turquoise waters, surrounded by wild nature, Lefkada beaches will amaze you!
Let us set the scene… Dramatic cliff backdrops, white sand and pebbles glistening in the Ionian sun, crystal clear, turquoise waters and wild natural landscapes join forces to create some of the best beaches you’ve ever seen! The most popular and most-photographed of them are Porto Katsiki beach, Egremni beach, Milos beach Lefkada and Kathisma beach. If you’re after more isolated beaches, though, head to Mylos, Kalamitsi, and Kaminia, to chill out and relax away from the crowds.
Talking of beaches, water sports is one of the best things to do in Lefkada! Windsurfing, kitesurfing, scuba diving, and every beach-related activity is a must in Lefkada. Alternatively, charter a boat and sail to the little islets around Lefkada, such as the legendary Skorpios islet.
Apart from Lefkada beaches though, Lefkada rewards the visitor with seaside villages, such as Nidri Lefkada and Agios Nikitas Lefkada, natural beauties, such as Dimosari waterfalls, delicious food and a whole heap of exciting activities!
Lefkada Town is where the heart of the island beats! Stroll around its narrow alleys, sit at the traditional taverns to taste the local delicacies, visit the Venetian Agia Mavra Castle, museums and 18th-century churches… Immerse yourself in the island’s culture!
Moving away from Lefkada Town, you’ll discover charming seaside villages, such as Nidri Lefkada and Agios Nikitas Lefkada, the mesmerizing Dimosari waterfalls, the lighthouse at Cape Lefkada, the beautiful Faneromeni monastery (ideal location to watch the sunset) and the lesser-known Melissa gorge.
Exploration of Lefkada island is an unforgettable experience!
