Lefkada, or Lefkas as it is otherwise known, is a beautiful green Ionian Island floating off mainland Greece's west coast connected by a long causeway and floating bridge.
Known for stunning, soft-sand beaches and rich, blue waters, Lefkada is also home to interesting museums and traditional villages. There are many noteworthy sights, churches and monasteries, small picturesque villages, lush vegetation, beautiful coves of transparent, turquoise waters, busy and secluded beaches of stunning beauty.
Lefkada is the island’s capital and port town. There are picturesque alleys, small squares, traditional houses and paved pedestrian zones that give this town its character. The city is surrounded by a canal and a lagoon, farther north lies Gyra, a thin stretch of a sandy beach forming a circle, dotted with windmills and scant vegetation.
Lefkada is one of the masters of Greek wine production and has a welcoming selection of vineyards and wineries across the island.
Apart from the attractive countless beaches, Lefkada is the perfect place for any kind of water sports, to chill in the charming fishing and mountain villages, or just enjoy the local Greek culture.
