EXPLORE THE HIDDEN GEMS OF LEFKADA: STUNNING BEACHES, WATERSPORTS AND NATURE
LEFKADA BOASTS AN ARRAY OF WORLD-FAMOUS BEACHES AND LUSH FORESTS. YOU’VE SEEN THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS BUT VISITING IN PERSON WILL LEAVE YOU IN AWE.
Experience the beauty of Lefkada with a different beach every day! To the west, bask in the sun at Avali, Megali Petra, Kavalikefta, or cozy Agios Nikitas—a family favorite. Closest to Lefkada town, catch waves with wind- and kite-surfers at Ai Giannis or soak in the stunning bay of Agiofylli. Don’t miss Vassiliki, loved by windsurfers and considered an international water sports festival spot.
The most stunning beach in Lefkada is Porto Katsiki. From the cliff-side view of the expansive sea to the 100 steps etched into the rock, every aspect of getting here is a highlight. Or you can take a boat from Nydri or Vassiliki, feeling like a jetsetter on a photoshoot.
Discover the stunning Egremni beach with its 2km stretch of crystal-clear turquoise water and white sand. Boasting a Caribbean feel, this Mediterranean gem is a must-visit for beach-lovers. Accessible by boat, it’s no surprise that Egremni is a popular destination. The breathtaking backdrop of the cliff only adds to the beauty.
HIKE TO THE FAIRYTALE NYDRI WATERFALLS
Discover Lefkada’s stunning greenery and cascading waterfalls that flow from the island’s high mountains. The abundant underground water storage is what makes this possible. Notable among the waterfalls is the breathtaking Dimossari waterfall located on the outskirts of Nydri. It ends in a stunning gorge filled with white rocks.
Don’t miss the 16th-century Monastery of Agios Ioannis tou Prodromou and the charming village of Exanthia, just 15 minutes away. Located amphitheatrically on the slopes of Mt Elati, Exanthia boasts breathtaking sea views and delicious dining options, making it a hidden gem.
Experience the cosmopolitan vibe of Kathisma, Lefkada’s most beloved beach with restaurants, bars, and even a water sports center. The wild and unspoiled beauty is coupled with occasional paragliders floating overhead, thanks to the hills behind the beach.
Beyond the beaches, Lefkada has much more to offer. As you cross the floating bridge, take a peek at the enchanting remains of the castle on an islet known as Agia Mavra to the Venetians. Explore the 13th-century fortress architecture and later enjoy a swim in Amoglossa—the perfect spot for a dip after your cultural adventure.
SAVOR THE FLAVORS OF LEFKADA’S SEAFOOD SCENE AND MORE
There is a huge variety of food options in the island of Lefkada ranging from traditional taverns, cozy ouzeri and grills for delicious greek mezedes, to alternative restaurants serving ethnic cuisine. Lefkada’s cuisine is all about the sea, and the local tavernas serving up delicious dishes featuring cod, squid, cuttlefish, eel, crab, and the much-loved sardines. But that’s not all – you can try avgotaracho, a delightful delicacy made from cod roe, or sample air-dried salami. Venture up to the mountain village of Eglouvi to taste the lentils, still produced in the same traditional way for their unmatched flavor and quick-cooking properties. Don’t miss out on the local olive oil and wine, both of which are top-notch and can be savored at the region’s wineries.
THE SHOPPING Heaven
Browse through a variety of stores lining the pedestrian street that stretches from the town centre to the harbour’s north. You’ll also find an impressive selection of authentic local products in Lefkada Town and surrounding villages and resorts.
