Lefkada

 

Lefkada, an island in the Ionian Sea, is a hidden paradise known for its striking blue waters, dramatic cliffs, and lush landscapes. Unlike most Greek islands, it’s connected to the mainland by a floating bridge, making it easily accessible yet still retaining its remote charm. The coastline is breathtaking, with white limestone cliffs dropping into vivid turquoise waters, creating some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Home to some of the most stunning beaches in Europe such as Porto Katsiki, Mylos and Egremni, with dramatic sheer cliffs and white sand and pebbles the island is also full of lively villages, excellent tavernas and traditional local towns. Inland, the island’s rolling hills and dense forests hide charming villages like Karya, where stone houses and shaded squares offer a glimpse of traditional Greek life.

Sailing is a way of life here, and the island’s marinas are filled with yachts heading toward the nearby islets, including Skorpios, once owned by Aristotle Onassis. In Nidri, the waterfront bustles with tavernas serving fresh seafood, while Lefkada Town’s colorful streets reveal a mix of Venetian and Greek influences.

Lefkada is a place where nature and culture blend seamlessly. Days are spent exploring hidden coves, hiking through pine forests, and enjoying long, leisurely meals by the sea. As the sun sets, the island glows with warm hospitality, proving that beyond its stunning landscapes, it’s a place that feels like home.
