Lefkada is an island surrounded by 24 islets and is accessible by a floating swing bridge. It offers visitors a range of sights, churches, villages, beaches, and a rich cultural heritage.
Lefkada is the capital and port town of the island, known for its unique “fish backbone” town planning with picturesque alleys, small squares, and traditional houses. It is surrounded by a canal and a lagoon, and to the north, there is a thin stretch of sandy beach called Gyra with windmills and little vegetation.
