One of the largest islands in Greece, Lefkada is particularly popular with travellers for its impressive beaches and gorgeous panoramic views. The city of Lefkada is home to a delightful lake and some unusual varieties of wild life. At the local archaeological museum, you can take in designs from the Ionian colleges between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The Bailiki bay is another gorgeous example of Greek scenery.
The proximity of other village including Dragamo and Athani, which is situated approximately forty kilometres from Lefkada town by car, means that hiring a car will make a great difference to your stay here and for fun and relaxing day trips. Recommended restaurants include the Barrel, which is located on the Marina in the Nyari area and serves authentic Greek cuisine, and also the Trata, which specializes in largely vegetarian traditional fare. To get to Lefkada, one suggestion is driving from Athens which takes approximately six hours of driving time but allows for beautiful views of the countryside and is more convenient than the bus |
