Holidays in Lefkada

Holidays in Lefkada, the drive-to Ionian paradise

Lefkada is the one Ionian island you can reach by car: a short causeway and floating bridge connect it to the mainland, so there is no ferry and no wait. That easy access leads to some of the most photographed beaches in the Mediterranean, where white cliffs drop into turquoise water at Porto Katsiki, Egremni and Kathisma. The pretty resort of Agios Nikitas, the waterfalls and boat trips around Nidri, and the world-class windsurfing at Vasiliki give the island a character all of its own.

For your holidays in Lefkada we list villas with private pools, comfortable apartments and even yachts for exploring the nearby islets of Meganisi and Skorpios. Every booking is made directly with the owner, with flexible cancellation and no booking fees, so you deal with the people who actually know the property and the area. From beach days to sailing to quiet mountain villages, Lefkada packs an extraordinary amount into a small, welcoming island.
