Lefkada islandThe sparkling gemstone of the Ionian Sea

Noteworthy sights, churches and monasteries, picturesque villages, lush vegetation, idyllic coves of transparent, turquoise waters, busy and secluded beaches of stunning beauty, significant cultural heritage, and hospitable locals: this is Lefkada, the only island accessible by car, connected to the opposite coast via a floating swing bridge.

Lefkada is widely considered one of the best beach destinations in the world, with the likes of Kathisma, Porto Katsiki, and Egremni regularly featuring in the top 10 beach compilations. Its waters are clean and exotic, set against a wild backdrop of white vertiginous cliff faces carpeted in pine, olive, and fir trees.

Although Lefkada is distinguished for some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean, the mountainous hinterland competes with the heavenly magnificence of its coastline. Traditional Lefkadian houses perched on the verdant mountain slopes, monuments of distinctive natural beauty with towering gorges, imposing waterfalls, and colorful valley trails will definitely catch your attention.

Lefkada is not just a destination for nature lovers; it’s also a place of relaxation and tranquility. The island offers a laid-back atmosphere, where you can unwind on secluded beaches, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and savor delicious local delicacies at traditional tavernas.
