Things to do in Lefkas

Lefkas is the perfect destination for families. There are plenty of activities to keep kids entertained, and lots of opportunities for adults to relax and unwind.

As Lefkas is a relatively small island, you can easily drive from coast to coast, uncovering a wealth of stunning beaches, jaw-dropping scenery, and colourful Greek villages along the way.

Cape Lefkada is one of the island’s most historical landmarks, where Doukato Lighthouse stands on dramatic white cliffs.

Then there’s the waterfalls in Nidri, not too far away from our villas in Lefkas. Cascading from a height of 15 metres into a natural pool and surrounded by impressive rocks and greenery, the waterfall has become a popular place to go for a swim.

Beaches in Lefkas

Lefkas lays claim to some of the best beaches in all of the Mediterranean, with an array of soft sandy beaches backed by dramatic white cliffs from coast to coast.

Along the eastern coastline you’ll find the majority of Lefkas’ holiday resorts, with beaches within walking distance, and all serviced by a range of tavernas and cafes.

Head west and it’s a different story, with completely secluded stretches of sand facing the azure blue waves. On Lefkas’ south coast, you'll find many picturesque beaches including Agios Ioannis beach, others however are accessible only by boat, making them untouched spots of paradise.

Agios Georgios beach

Agios Georgios is a beach on the west coast with a great view of Lefkas Town and its castle. It’s also famous for its crystal clear waters, which are ideal for snorkeling. The beach is very small and narrow, but it’s just fine if you want to relax in solitude and enjoy a spot of sunbathing.

Glyfada beach

Glyfada is one of the most popular beaches in Lefkas because it has long stretches of sand with shallow water, making it perfect for families with kids, as well as those who want to swim safely without protruding rocks. Glyfada Beach also offers plenty of water sports such as scuba diving lessons and boat hire rentals so you can explore other parts of the island.

Kavalikefta beach

Kavalikefta is the best beach for windsurfing, with strong winds that whip through the area throughout the year. The beach is also great for snorkeling and diving, with lots of underwater life to discover. You can spend hours walking along the shore or just sitting in a chair on its soft sand, watching people come and go.

Egremni Beach

Located in the village of Egremni, this is a sandy beach with shallow waters making it a good place to swim. The beach has been awarded the Blue Flag certification by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and is one of only 10 beaches in Greece to hold this distinction.

Kalami beach

Kalami Beach is located near Koutouloufari village. If you like surfing or paddle boarding then this is the spot for you. If that's not your thing, then you can simply relax and enjoy the panoramic views and beautiful scenery.

Nightlife in Lefkas

Night time in Lefkas is a rather low-key affair, with restaurants and tavernas the main attractions around most resorts such as at the picturesque harbour in Nikiana. Head to Nidri’s main street if you’re looking for bars, or try the cosmopolitan options in Lefkada Town.

If you prefer to stay in, our Lefkas villas offer the perfect home-away-from-home where you can barbecue with friends or take a dip in your private pool.

Food and Drink in Lefkas

You won't be short of delicious food options on Lefkada Island. Seafood is always on the menu on a Lefkas villa holiday and is a reflection of island life, where fresh fish is caught daily and prepared in the many restaurants and tavernas at your disposal.

‘Sour fish’ is an island speciality – but don’t be put off by the name! It’s actually cooked in a vinaigrette, rosemary and garlic sauce and poured over fried red mullet. Another popular local dish is lentil soup, where the lentils are grown in the mountain villages.

History and Culture in Lefkas

Lefkas has been inhabited for more than 3,000 years and in that time it's been settled by different civilisations from the ancient Greeks to Venetians who built fortresses on the coast.

The island also has some very interesting prehistoric sites, including an ancient settlement at Ayios Georgios near Argostoli, as well as Myrtos Beach which was once home to a Greek temple dedicated to Aphrodite (Venus)

We say ‘island’ but in actual fact, Lefkas lays claim to being the only Greek Island which can be accessed via the Greek mainland, by means of a swing bridge. This gives Lefkas a unique appeal, with a fusion of neighbouring islands and the mainland influencing its culture, food and traditions.

If you hire a car during your Lefkas villa holiday, be sure to explore the plentiful ancient monuments and historical sites throughout western Greece. Katouna is a wonderful village to embrace a slower pace of life, with a delightful church, traditional houses and family-run tavernas serving local specialities.
