Lefkada is said to be the most exotic Greek island and is often compared to the islands of the Caribbean due to the striking blue colors of its white sandy beaches, which are surrounded by abundant vegetation. It is located west of the Greek mainland and is a holiday destination for every taste, presenting impressive landscapes, lovely villages by the sea with tavernas offering fresh fish and traditional local cuisine and a variety of boat excursions are available to explore this beautiful location.
Accommodation mainly consists of traditional holiday apartments and rooms to rent but you may also find a number of luxurious resorts and boutique hotels. The waterfalls of Nidri and the Monastery of Panagia Faneromeni are the most visited spots of the island.
Lefkada is connected to the mainland through a small bridge and can, therefore, be easily accessed by car. The drive from Athens is about 6 hours.
