Visiting Lefkada is a must during a trip to Greece. Known as the most beautiful island in Europe, its beaches and small villages await you! Wondering what to do in Lefkada during your stay in the Ionian Islands? Rest assured, its 325 square kilometers are full of beautiful white beaches, picturesque villages, green mountains and other treasures to discover. Its name, Lefkada, means "white", in honor of its chalk cliffs, particularly visible in the south of the island. Located in the west of Greece, close to Italy, it is easily accessible because it is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Its geographical location has also caused it to be tossed between the Ottomans and the Venetians for several centuries. Today, it is particularly known for its turquoise water, its lush nature between sea and mountains and its lenses of Eglouvi. Lefkada, the eponymous capital of the island, welcomes you upon your arrival. Renowned as an anchorage point, it integrates not without difficulty the inescapable with its pretty colored houses. Here, the city invites you to stroll through its streets and enter its churches, true portraits of the Venetian era that characterizes them. Lefkada is a witness of several centuries of history and its architecture has a timelessness about it. To finish on a cultural note, visit the archaeological museum where you will discover the history of the island, from the Paleolithic to the modern era. Located in the southwest of the island Porto Katsiki is one of the most famous beaches of Lefkada. Surrounded by magnificent white chalk cliffs, it is reached by a small winding road and a steep flight of steps. True to its reputation, Porto Katsiki is very crowded: don't hesitate to go there early and to settle down a little away from it to fully enjoy it. This way, you can go to the most remote beach, where there are usually far fewer people. Remember also to bring your picnic and an umbrella, as there is almost no shade.
