Lefkada

For those of you visiting Lefkada soon or being already there, I would like to write a post for places that might be difficult for you to aware of.

Of course there are many things that you could write about Lefkada, a small island of Ionian Islands with so long and interesting history. Worth reading this article: Lefkada History . In this post though, I will just recommend you some places for you be.

Regarding food:
  • Stavrakas Patisserie in the main town of Lefkada, just opposite to the church of Agios Minas (a church built at the beginning of the 17th century if I am right) is an excellent shop. Their ice cream varieties are pretty good.
  • In the main town, is worth trying to find Fragoulis shop and buy the traditional salami of Lefkada. Lefkada's salami is a brilliant delicatessen, quite famous for its taste.
  • In the main town please try to find shops selling mandolata and pastelia. Italian influenced sweets, quite traditional and different.
  • Sivota is a good place for fish food. A small, very traditional village of Lefkada.
  • Xaradiatika just before Vlixo. Xaradiatika a north located village with very good taverns mainly offering Greek meat dishes.
  • Lygia, a small port and village towards to Nydri, has quite well fish restaurants.
Regarding spots:
  • You have to visit Agios Nikitas! A unique village, near to the sea, with a beautiful port. Agios Nikitas is protected by international organizations for its nature.
