Things to do

Lefkas

Memorable moment...

Watch the colours of the sunset, as they cast their glow across the sea, at the beautiful Agios Ioannis Beach.

Things to do

Catch a catamaran express to neighbouring islands and stroll through the picturesque and sleepy fishing village of Nidri. The scattering of islets off Nidri make the area a haven for exploring by boat. Sail past the island of Scorpios, bought by Aristotle Onassis as his family home. Watch the yachts sail out of the harbour at Lefkas Town.

Beaches

There are many spectacular beaches, including the huge sweeping bay at Vassiliki, a windsurfer's paradise. Try the unspoilt shores of Porto Katsiki and Kathisma, reputed to be some of the best beaches of the Ionians.
