Lefkada island

It is one of the most beautiful Greek islands easy accessible by car, increasingly discovered by tourists in the recent years. It belongs to the Ionian Islands group and you will be amazed by its unique beaches. The island’s capital is by itself an attraction, with quaint narrow alleys and a beautiful harbor. Enjoy a stroll through! Do not forget to visit the archaeological museum, the castle of Santa Maura and the park of poets! Make sure you explore walking around and take a picture of yourself on the wooden bridge of the harbor!

Porto Katsiki beach

One of the most famous beaches in Greece due to its incredible natural beauty. It is this unique beauty that has classified it as one of the six most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Up to the 90s, the visitors could approach the island only by boat but ever since access became possible by road too. Remember that it is a crowded beach, so it is advisable to visit it early in the morning or afternoon. Keep in mind that you have to climb down about 90 steps to reach the beach but the unique view will reward you. The light emerald color of the sea blends harmoniously with the rock, giving the visitor a truly unique view. We also highly recommend you to enjoy the sunset, watching the sun sink in the crystal waters of the Ionian Sea!

Agios Nikitas beach

A small picturesque village which has one of the most beautiful beaches of the island and is about 14 kilometres from the capital. The area in recent years has become well known and the beach every summer is filled with people, of course, not unfairly, as the natural beauty will astonish you.
