You’re bound to have seen photographs of Lefkada’s world-renowned beaches. But when you arrive, you’ll quickly realise that the reality is even better than the fantasy. Lefkada – or Lefkas – is  easily accessible, hospitable and lively – a recipe for the perfect summer holiday in the Ionian Sea.

Kathisma, Egremni, Porto Katsiki – the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean – have won international acclaim and are awarded annually with Blue Flags (symbolising cleanliness and quality).

Windsurfing, kitesurfing, paragliding, scuba diving, flights in a prop plane, horseback riding, mountain biking, sailing the surrounding islets like Skorpios: there is no end to the activities and sports on offer here. You’ll explore the island, stay at luxurious or quaint and traditional hotels, eat at restaurants on the water. The welcoming Lefkada town will invite you to savour its culture: walks in the alleyways, folk songs, the famous bouranelous (anglers), plates of Englouvi lentils on Agios Donatos’ feast day. Immerse yourself in Lefkada’s magical world.
