Best Islands in the Ionian for Swimming & Snorkeling

Connected to the mainland by a bridge, Lefkada offers some of the most dazzling swimming beaches in Greece. Porto Katsiki and Egremni are famous for their bright turquoise waters and towering white cliffs.

For snorkeling, head to Agiofili Beach near Vasiliki. The rocky seabed and calm conditions create excellent visibility. Early morning is best before winds pick up along the western coast.

Why swimmers love Lefkada:

• Intense turquoise shades

• Clean, deep waters

• Easy accessibility
