The beautiful island of Lefkada is located on the west coast of Greece. It lies in the middle of the Ionian chain of Greek islands. It has an outstanding natural beauty and amazing beaches with clear waters.The natural beauties of Lefkada and its landscape, is impressive.
There are also many fascinating reminders of the interesting history of the island. Ancient mountain villages, Venetian fortresses, archaeological sites, sea caves and waterfalls, rugged cliffs and lush green valleys.
There are so many places to see in the island.
Scorpios, a paradise on earth it's a private islet and belonged to the famous Greek tycoon Aristotelis Onassis (now to his granddaughter Athena) is part of Lefkada.
The popularity of Lefkada is mostly due to its amazing landscape and to its wonderful beaches with endless sand, impressive turquoise waters and majestic vertical rocky cliffs.
Porto Katsiki, the best known beach, is today considered one of the most outstanding in the whole of Europe.
The eastern coast gently slopes down to the sea. The western coast faces the beautiful Mediterranean, and is steep, with stretches of beautiful sandy beaches.
The island is generally rich in history and culture, which is shown in its many monuments and museums. Despite of being one of the most beautiful and popular islands of Greece, it remains unspoiled.
One of the largest islands in Greece and the Ionian.
Some of its wonderful beaches offer ideal conditions for these sports.

Η πανέμορφη Λευκάδα, νησί του Ιονίου, ένα από τα Επτάνησα κερδίζει αμέσως τις εντυπώσεις με τις πλούσιες ομορφιές της.
γράφει από τη Λευκωσία
Η πανέμορφη Λευκάδα, νησί του Ιονίου, ένα από τα Επτάνησα κερδίζει αμέσως τις εντυπώσεις με τις πλούσιες ομορφιές της.
Γαλαζοπράσινα νερά, λευκές παραλίες και γραφικά χωριά σκαρφαλωμένα παράξενα στις βουνοπλαγιές, δίνουν ένα ξεχωριστό χρώμα στο τοπίο.
Η Λευκάδα πήρε το όνομα της από το λευκό ακρωτήρι που βρίσκεται στο νοτιότερο άκρο της, το Λευκάτα. Το ακρωτήρι αυτό αναφέρεται στο μύθο της λυρικής ποιήτριας Σαπφούς. Η Σαπφώ έζησε τον 7ο-6ο αιώνα π.Χ και ήταν από τη Λέσβο, όπως μας αναφέρει η ιστορία έπεσε από ακρωτήρι όταν ο Φαών αρνήθηκε τον έρωτα της.
Το απέραντο γαλάζιο. Το νησί που μαγεύει τον καθένα που το επισκέπτεται.
Παραλίες μοναδικής ομορφιάς όπως το Πόρτο Κατσίκι.
Όλο το νησί είναι γεμάτο φυσικά αξιοθέατα.
Το πράσινο κυριαρχεί παντού και σε συνδιασμό με το γαλάζιο της θάλασσας δημιουργούν ειδυλλιακές εικόνες.
Οι ομορφιές του τόπου είναι ατέλειωτες.
Τα ψαροκάικα προμηθεύουν το ψάρι κι ομορφαίνουν το τοπίο.
Εντυπωσιακοί βράχοι και προκλητικά όμορφη θάλασσα. Ιδανικό σκηνικό για ονειρεμένες διακοπές.
Λουσμένη στο φως, στις μυρωδιές και την αλμύρα της θάλασσας.
Το μεγαλείο της φύσης με τα βαθυγάλαζα νερά του Ιονίου και τον λαμπερός ήλιο που λούζει με τις αχτίνες του το Ιούνιο Πέλαγος.
