Discover a special place where you immerse yourself from a windy, tree-lined road to be greeted by 100 steps carved into a rock.
At the bottom of the mountain lies a very long and beautiful beach with an endless view of the turquoise sea near the coastline that changes to a shifting palette of blue until it merges with the sky. It is no wonder that Porto Katsiki, at the southernmost tip of Lefkada, Greece, is often featured in magazine articles as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean Sea.
The beach takes its name from the fact that before the creation of the staircase that leads to the beach only a goat was able to reach it. Porto Katsiki is a white pebble beach, at the foot of an impressive arched cliff, where the sea is a completely opaque turquoise blue.
To spend a day on the beach of Lefkada is to enjoy nature at its most seductive. The small pebbles under your feet and the sound of the waves gently crashing on the shores. To the north of the beach, the cliffs rise to mind-boggling heights before the summer visitors, reducing them to ants.
You won't have a trip to Lefkada if you don't visit Porto Katsiki. Once you arrive, you'll want to explore every possible corner. Beaches with magnificent views from the horizon to the sea with a facade of rocks in front of you and from high up on the cliff.
There are further stairs leading up to a peninsula flanking the beach which is not for the faint of heart. The ideal place to enjoy the sunrise and the view of the cliffs turning orange.
