Welcome to Lefkada!
Lefkada is a breathtaking Greek island located in the Ionian sea, on the west coast of Greece, connected with the mainland by a small bridge. Lefkada, also known as the "Caribbean of Greece", is famous for its exotic beaches with the crystal clear turquoise waters surrounded by wild natural landscapes.
The most popular and photographed beach of Lefkada is Porto Katsiki beach, while Egremni, Milos and Kathisma will also be some of the most breathtaking beaches you will have ever seen. For more information, check our detailed guide to the 12 most popular and beautiful beaches of Lefkada.
Lefkada island has definitely more to offer than exotic waters! It is probably one of the few greek islands where the visitor can find a unique combination of natural, historical and architectural sights, such as waterfalls and natural lakes, pittoresque villages, monuments and beautiful green-filled hiking trails, combined with delicious food and a whole heap of exciting activities! Windsurfing, paragliding, kitesurfing and scuba diving, are just a few of the activities you will find in Lefkada.
Boat or sailing trips are also a must in Lefkada. It is one of the best ways to explore inaccessible beaches and the surrounding islets, like Kalamos, Kastos and the legendary private islet of Skoprios.
As far as entertainment and culture are concerned, Lefkada Town, with its narrow alleys, the museums, the 18th-century churches, and the vibrant bars and restaurants, is where the heart of the island beats! Moving away from Lefkada Town, you’ll discover charming seaside villages, such as Nidri, Agios Nikitas and Vassiliki, the mesmerizing Dimosari waterfalls, the Cape Lefkatas' lighthouse, and the lesser-known Melissa canyon.
