10Lefkada

Lefkada, in the Ionian Sea, is connected to the mainland by a bridge, making it one of the most accessible and budget-friendly islands to visit. It is known for its dramatic coastline and turquoise waters, with famous beaches like Porto Katsiki and Egremni offering some of the best views in Greece.

Because it’s less isolated, Lefkada offers lower prices for accommodations and food compared to more remote islands.

Budget Tip: Stay in family-run guesthouses or apartments, and use local buses to travel between the island’s stunning beaches.
