Lefkas

Lying in the heart of the Ionian Islands, just off the west coast of the Greek mainland, is the island of Lefkas. Holidays in Lefkas combine secluded untouched beaches, hidden coves, peaceful rural villages and modern tourist resorts. The island's main tourist resorts are set along the east coast, with its beautiful beaches, pretty offshore islands and excellent sailing conditions. One of the most popular of the island's resorts is Nidri - set at the mouth of Vylcho Bay, Nidri features long, narrow beaches and a good selection of bars, cafes and tavernas. Nearby are the quieter villages of Perigiali, Lygia, and Nikiana with their pebble and shingle beaches surrounded by rolling hillsides. The west coast offers wild scenery with rugged cliffs, rocky outcrops and rougher seas. Along this west coast you’ll discover the attractive resort of Agios Nikitas, Milos with its fine sandy beach and hidden caves and Kathisma with its 1km long sand and pebble beach On the south coastline is the highest point of the island Mount Stavrotas, the resort of Vasiliki with its many water sports and the traditional village of Poros with its charming old houses and narrow streets. A visit to the island's capital, Lefkas Town, is a must with its colourful houses, Venetian churches, museums and Main Square. With so much choice, it’s easy to see why the island of Lefkas is the perfect choice for a relaxing sunshine holiday.

Things To Do
Daytimes in Lefkas revolve around its beaches and the great selection of water sports on offer. Sailing, kite surfing and windsurfing are popular due to the often-windy conditions. Relax over a coffee in Lefkas Town’s main square and visit the 13th-century Santa Mavra fortress. A popular excursion from Nidri is to the spectacular Vafkeri Waterfall or take a boat trip from the harbour to the island of Skorpios.
Food & Drink
The restaurants on Lefkas serve mainly traditional Greek fare with locally caught fish and seafood featuring on many menus. Start your meal with a mezze of appetisers including taramosalata, tzatziki and dolmades and follow with traditional Greek favourites of mousakka or calamari with baklava or Greek yoghurt with honey for dessert. Be sure to try the island’s own ‘Vertzamo’ wines or some ‘ouzo’ – the strong, aniseed-flavoured local liqueur.
In The Evening
The nightlife on the island of Lefkas is generally fairly low key. The busiest bars, clubs and restaurants can be found in Lefkas town and the resort of Nidri. Holidays in Lefkas are perhaps better suited for those who prefer quiet evenings enjoying a meal and a drink in a local beachside taverna.
