    Holidays to the Greek island of Lefkas rack up style points with postcard-perfect sea views and pine tree-scented surroundings.

    The laidback island

    An Ionian island floating off mainland Greece's west coast, Lefkas whisks you away from the hustle and bustle – and into a slow-paced way of life. One for the beach lovers, it's full of wow-worthy scenery and standout coastal views.

    Sailboat stops

    If you're keen to get out on the big blue, Nidri should be top of your list. Whether you want decent fishing or calm-water cruising, this popular tourist town has got you sorted. Meanwhile, the beaches of Mylos and Kathisma are untouched havens – ideal spots to relax and unwind.

    Historical heavyweight

    A landmark spot from the 14th century, the Venetian Fortress of Agia Mavra's a good shout for a daytrip. Even better, it's just outside the island's capital of Lefkada. Once you've checked out this historical site, hop in your car and reach a range of top-notch restaurants and bars in only five minutes – perfect if you fancy a refuel after sightseeing.

    Walk this way

    With so many scenic walking spots in Lefkas, it's hard to squeeze them all into one trip. The Nidri and Dimosari waterfalls are jaw-droppers, so be sure to snap a few pics. Skaron Forest's also a great place to take shots of the landscape – head there in the morning to avoid the midday sun.

    Top things to See and Do in Lefkas

    • Ionian treasure

      Beaches in Lefkas are all about turquoise seas and seemingly endless stretches of sand. Keen windsurfers will feel right at home in Vasiliki – thanks to the breeze, there are plenty of rippling waves to hit. Nidri's a top pick if you just fancy sprawling out for a sunbathing session, while the west's as laidback and quiet as it gets.

    • The big beach

      Whether it's chilling out on the pebbly shore or sailing out for some vitamin sea, Nidri Beach is where the action's at. Lots of traditional tavernas and restaurants line the shore, so you're nicely set from brunch until sundown.

    • The secret beach

      Catch a boat out to Porto Katsiki off Lefkas' south-west shore, and you won't be disappointed. With golden sands, rocky cliffs and a calming atmosphere, this hidden gem's well worth a visit if you want to recharge – and sneak in a selfie or two.

    • Bargain Buys

      Deli meats are a staple across Lefkas – they're not the best suitcase travellers, so your best bet's giving them a taste at the stores. Look out for the island's signature product, Delimari salami. Wine's very good value here too, with plenty of sweet and dry varieties to try around Nidri and Lefkada.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      Lefkas is pretty stripped back when it comes to shopping. You might be able to pick up some souvenirs and gifts at the local clothing boutiques and jewellery stores, but your spending spree dosh is best kept for malls on the mainland.

    • Designer Buys

      Vasiliki's where you'll find most of the upmarket shops on the island. Take your pick of designer sunglasses and fancy jewellery pieces, or grab some windsurfing gear from brands like Rip Curl and O'Neill. Finish your day with a slap-up Greek dinner – Vasiliki's known for doing these well.

    • Laid-back evenings

      Catch the best of the island's sunset with drinks on the shores of Agios Ioannis. With loads of authentic tavernas and live music bars, this is just the spot to kick back in the evenings. If you're after a romantic setting, head to Nikiana for proposal-worthy spots to settle in for the night.

    • Lively evenings

      In the main town of Lefkada, sip on a cheeky cocktail or two in a quirky bar or sample some hearty Greek food in a restaurant. There's a nightclub on the north side of Nidri if you feel like dancing the night away. If you're up for a bar crawl, Vasiliki's got you covered.

    • Seafood delicacies

      One of the island's most loved dishes is fried red mullet with sauce – known as 'sour fish'. It's infused with aromatic herbs, spices and vinegar to give it a rich aroma. When exploring boating villages, consider picking the catch of the day for the freshest eats around.

    • Signature stews

      Slow-cooked and steaming, Lefkas' stews definitely live up to the hype. Sofigado's the one to look out for, with herby flavours and a dash of wine vinegar taking beef to the next level.

    • Lentil legend

      Loved by tourists and locals alike, Lefkas' hearty and healthy lentil soup gets its mix of flavours from locally grown lentils, garlic and herbs. It makes a great light lunch before an afternoon swim.

    • Ladopita

      This sweet treat's an age-old favourite on the island. Just a few simple ingredients of sugar, flour, oil and spices are used to bake up this mouth-watering dessert – sample a few around the towns to find the local winner.

    • Gourmet grills

      There's no shortage of Mediterranean restaurants serving up luscious lamb shanks, chicken kebabs and meze platters – with oil-infused veggies on the side. Bite into some honey-soaked baklavas for a sweet finish to the night.
