Migliori spiagge a Lefkada

Best Beaches

Lefkada’s coastline is defined by the dramatic contrast between its western and eastern shores. The west coast features towering limestone cliffs and deep turquoise waters at spots like Egremni and Kathisma, often requiring steep descents or boat access. In contrast, the southern and eastern coasts, including Mikros Gialos and Vassiliki, offer calmer, shallower waters sheltered from the wind, making them centers for windsurfing and sailing. The island also hosts secluded pebble coves like Mylos and Agiofili, accessible primarily by hiking trails or water taxis.
