6Lefkada: Cliffs, Beaches, and Local Culture
Lefkada is unique among the Ionian Islands because it is connected to the mainland by a bridge. This accessibility allows travelers to explore its dramatic beaches and mountainous interior without relying on ferries.
The island is known for stunning beaches like Porto Katsiki and Egremni, but Lefkada offers much more than sunbathing. Traditional villages such as Agios Nikitas provide charming streets, local tavernas, and authentic Greek hospitality. Hike inland to discover olive groves, waterfalls, and quiet trails that reveal the island’s lush natural beauty. Lefkada’s combination of scenery, culture, and accessibility makes it a standout in the quieter Ionian.
