Lefkas Holidays

Lefkas, or Lefkada to some, is one of the seven Ionian Islands. Connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, it’s one of the few Greek hotspots which you can access via road. With a name which translates to white, don’t be surprised when you come across milk-coloured cliffs.

Breathtakingly beautiful beaches, hidden hilltop villages and must-see ruined monasteries – It’s a place of traditional charms. In fact, part of the island remains undeveloped, particularly in the south and west. Other lures include its fantastic windsurfing conditions and a fascinating history which dates back to 4,000 BC.
