Frequently Asked Questions

Why Visit Lefkada?

Your first visit to Lefkada certainly won’t be your last. An island of emerald-green mountains and chalk-faced cliffs that plunge into translucent water, its beauty is seemingly effortless. Come for the sailing, the windsurfing at Vassiliki or the local wine; stay for the stillness and the sense that, despite being connected to the mainland, the island feels like a world entirely its own. Our divine villas in Lefkada place you at the heart of it.

Where Should You Stay in Lefkada?

Our luxury villas in Lefkada are handpicked for their prime locations. Placing you within touching distance of breathtaking views, manicured beaches and a wealth of culture. The east coast, from the main town south towards Nydri and Sivota, offers the island's most sheltered waters and easiest access to the ferry connections for Meganissi, Kastos and Kefalonia. The west coast is more dramatic but less developed. The north of the island, around Kalamitsi and Agios Nikitas, sports fine beaches and a quieter character. Our skilled Villa Specialists can advise on the best region for your stay.

What Is There to Do in Lefkada?

Lefkada has something for every pace and preference. The west coast beaches, accessible by boat from Nydri or Vassiliki, are known for exceptional swimming in water of an extraordinary clarity. Vassiliki is a celebrated windsurfing destination, drawing enthusiasts from across Europe, while a boat trip through the Lefkada straits and around the smaller islands of Meganissi, Sparti and Scorpios makes for a memorable day on the water. Back on land, Lefkada Town's Saturday market, local honey and olive oil producers and the traditional inland villages all deserve a closer look. Browse our experiences and get in touch to plan an unforgettable itinerary.

How to Get to Lefkada

You can get to Lefkada by road from the Greek mainland via a short causeway, making it one of the few Ionian islands accessible without a ferry crossing. The nearest airport is Preveza Aktion, around 20 kilometres away, with direct flights from London and European cities in summer. Kefalonia and Corfu airports, both around 90 minutes to two hours by road and ferry, are additional options. Car hire is recommended for getting around the island's coastline and interior.

From our local specialist

Tree Doorway

"The archaeological site of Nicopolis, a town built by Emperor Augustus, is just a short drive from Lefkada. It is packed with fascinating, often extremely well-preserved ruins that include an odeon, an aqueduct, mosaics, and Roman baths."
