The tour around Lefkas begins
from the bridge of Lefkas which links the island with the greek
mainland (free of charge) and is considered to be the road connection
of the island.
A street above the sea level (1800m long ) leads to the town
of Lefkas. On the right hand there is the Lagoon of Lefkas with
its famous beach of Agios Ioannis and Gyra with its characteristic
windmills.
On the left hand the sea path leads the ships to the eastern
side when the bridge rises.
On the eastern part of the town is the modern marina.
Marina can host up to 600 yachts and its building facilities
include a control tower, multi-purpose building, sailing club,

Lefkada is a complex of
24 small islands in the area between her east coast and the
coast of Aitoloakarnania mainland. The lefkadian open sea
resembles a mini archipelago with its green islands lying
nonchalantly on the blue waters.
From the beach of Nydri, looking at the east, right in front
of you there are the Prigiponissia Islands... |

The town of Lefkada is 385 Km far away
from Athens, 420 Km from Thessaloniki and 100 Km from Igoumenitsa.
Lefkada has a bridge (free pass) that connects the island with
the other part of Greece,Aitolokarnania.
The Preveza-Aktio submerged tunnel makes access to the island
easy from Northwest Greece and the port of Igoumenitsa which
is a major gateway to Wastern
and Central Europe.
Opening of the Rio-Antirrio bridge will significantly improve
connections between
Lefkada and the rest of Greece and the port of Patra (170 Km)
which is the second major gateway to Europe...

In the south-east of Lefkada
there is a green, deep gulf inside the cove of Sivota. The cove
closes the gulf and leaves a small entrance to the Ionian Sea.
The boats are naturally protected by the waves, the wind and
the streams.
Inside the gulf we find the village of Sivota with its traditional
houses, the coffee shops, the fish taverns, the small café-bars
along the beautiful quay ( there is a bar inside an old oil
factory).
The gulf of Sivota is a true sailing paradise. In the summer
sailing boats from all over the world anchor in this calm gulf.
Lefkatas Cape or Cavo Dukato or the Lady ’s Cape or Nira
(as the locals call it). It is the biggest and the most south
cape of the island , 5 miles away from Cefalonia. Homer mentions
it in his work. In the Antiquity human sacrifices were taking
place on it. They would also throw criminals for purification.
