Beaches in Lefkada!

Beaches in Lefkada!

Some of the most famous beaches in Lefkada are:

Porto Katsiki


It is located on the south-western coast of Lefkada. It is is accessed from the car park via 347 steep steps that hug a rugged cliff face. The waters of Porto Katsiki are clear and crystal and the sunsets are frequently dreaming.

Kathisma

It is placed 14 km east away of Lefkada Town. Kathisma offers a long beach, white sand, and crystal clear waters. The sea becomes abruptly deep at some particular spots.

Egremni

It is 30 km south from the Lefkada Town. The long sandy beach is surrounded by impressive cliffs and clear waters and is only accessible via 250 steps away from the car park.

Gialos

It offers to the visitors crystal water, a beach with wild and imposing rocks, that will undoubtedly take your breath away with the blonde sand and the turquoise water.

Nidri

The beach of Nudri is short but very beutiful beach, with blue waters and pebbles.
The visitors can enjoy the beach bars across the beach which are full of life.

The sandy beaches with the crystal clear turquoise water and the dreaming sunsets compose an impressive scene, which constitutes an important reason to rent or buy a property in Lefkada! If you want to check some properties in Lefkada have a look here: Properties in Ionian Islands.

About Lefkada

Let’s start with Lefkada and the ways you can reach it!

There are three ways to arrive to Lefkada.

First by car: Lefkada is the only one that it has access by car, by using the floating bridge connecting the island with Akarnia. Visitors from Athens can arrive here by the Ktel bus or by using their car in 5 hours.

Second by sea: Daily, visitors can reach nearby islands. You can find daily boat services to Meganisi, Kefalonia, Ithaki from Nydri or Vassiliki.

Third by plane: The nearest International airport is in Aktion, only 18km far away from the capital of Lefkada. There are daily flights from Athens to Lefkada, direct flights from Crete and from North Greece. And finally, if you come from a foreign country there are several direct flights to the International airport of Aktion.

If you are looking to rent a house in Lefkada then you could get some advice from a touristic office operating at the main entrance of the island, just passing the bridge or to get some advice online.
