Lefkada

Lefkas or, as the locals call it, Lefkada lies in the centre of the Ionian Islands off the Western Coast of Greece. It is the only Ionian island linked to mainland Greece. A swing bridge gives easy access by road, with the newly extended and refurbished airport of Preveza about a 30 minute drive.

Lefkada is within easy reach due to the direct flights to the airport of Preveza from several airports such as Manchester and London (UK) and Amsterdam (Holland).

The island and the surrounding area has a lot to offer - anything from sailing, windsurfing, cycling, scuba-diving, walking, exploring ancient archaeological sites or just that lazy beach holiday.

On the east coast with its pebble beaches, you will probably find some of the most picturesque views around.

On the West coast you will find some of the most beautiful sandy beaches and stunning sunsets.

Lefkada maintains its charm because of the strict building laws which do not allow multi storey blocks. Although less commercialized then its neighboring islands, Lefkada offers a wide choice of facilities.

Off the beaten track you will still find old mountain villages or lovely little fishing villages.

In contrast, as well as the fishing villages and smaller coastal retreats there are two main resorts on the island, Nidri and Vassiliki offering just about everything for the holiday maker and where ferry and boat trips leave to go to the other islands.
