6Porto Katsiki, Lefkada

Literally meaning “Goat Port,” Porto Katsiki was once reachable only by goats scrambling down the cliffs. Today, a steep staircase leads to this dazzling beach, where white cliffs plunge into turquoise waters.

Travellers love the sense of awe that comes from standing at the base of these towering rocks, with the Ionian Sea stretching endlessly ahead. Though it’s popular and often busy, its sheer natural grandeur secures it a place among Greece’s finest beaches.
