Lefkada
Lefkada is the fourth largest island of the Ionian Sea and unique with road access. It has about 23,000 permanent residents and covers an area of 302 square kilometers. The climate of the island is Mediterranean, with warm summers and cold winters.
The vast green areas of Lefkada, the deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea and the brilliant sunshine of the island, create the ideal backdrop for dreamy holidays. This beautiful and idyllic island belongs to the Ionian island complex, only 100 meters from Akarnania, with which you connect with a floating bridge and with the surrounding islets Kalamos, Meganisi, Scorpios, Madouri, Kytro and Thilia, constitute the Prefecture of Lefkada.
Lefkada is an island with endless natural beauties. It has gained worldwide reputation, which it owes a great deal to the love that Aristotle Onassis used to love for this wonderful island. It is no coincidence that the Greek Croesus chose to create his personal paradise in this place. Scorpios, the famous island of Onassis, which hosted some of the greatest personalities of modern history, is located opposite Nydri. Touring the island is a real surprise for every traveler. The traditional villages with their island architecture and the Lefkadians with their warm hospitality create an intimate atmosphere.
The city of Lefkada, both modern and traditional, is ideal for exploration, while its historical center is distinguished by its island color and is ideal for walks. The narrow paved slopes leading to the old neighborhoods reveal the history of the city. The entire island is a natural attraction. It is worth seeing both the seaside settlements and the mountain villages that are built in the green nature. Apart from the country, Nydri is also the focus of Lefkadian tourism. It is a wonderful resort with a host of hotels, bars and restaurants, which gather innumerable tourists. Vassiliki is the second largest tourist center of the island, after Nydri. The area attracts mainly young people and the nightlife is intense.
