,, We were mainly on the west coast. The blue of the sea is impressive. However, the waters deepen abruptly, so these beaches are not ideal for families with small children. It is a relatively small island, easy to discover by car. You can find cozy tiny mountain settlements, fishing villages, and constructed beaches." (f.m., 2021)

------------------------

Lefkada is a relatively small, friendly, quiet island with a population of 24,000. You can get around in a few hours by car. The main roads are of good quality but winding. I recommend the sideroads leading to more secluded beaches only to experienced drivers. You have to maneuver on dirt and stony roads with no barriers.
The view makes up for everything; the hilly island has a lot of green plants, including the characteristic giant pine tree towering into the sky. The crystal-clear, eye-catching turquoise sea is visible from everywhere on the road that surrounds the island. (2022)

Background

Destination in brief

Lefkada is an island in the Ionian sea, in western Greece. It covers an area of ​​336 sq. km. Its capital is Lefkada (about 8000 inhabitants).

There is no mass tourism in Lefkada (yet), which is a huge advantage. The island has many natural beauties; therefore, it is strange that relatively few visitors come.  It also has an international airport, and there are flights from many European cities.

There are mostly pebble and rocky beaches, but there are also sandy beaches on the island's west side.

Public safety on the island is excellent.

The ideal timing is June or September (already and still good weather, but not many tourists).

The name of the island in Greek: Λευκάδα
