TOWN

❤ Our recommendations:
• Allure • Bohèmian • The Secret Boutique Hotel

Lefkada Town is the perfect place for those seeking a central location.
The island's capital town has a lively atmosphere, offering at the same time, cafes, shops, restaurants, bars and other facilities. There are so many things to see and do in this area, while some organized tours and activities also start downtown. In addition, Lefkada Town is a good option for those who do not have a car, since a bus station is located there, allowing you to visit other parts of the island. Various types of units can be found in the town and the only negative thing about choosing to stay there is that there are no beaches within walking distance.

Nidri is a touristically developed coastal settlement on the eastern side of the island, offering some of the most popular seaside resorts in Lefkada.
Situated in a lovely setting, the village combines mountain views with sea views and overlooks the tiny nearby islets of Madouri, Scorpios, Skorpidi, Sparti and Meganisi among others.
