Within the Ionian group of islands, Lefkada can be described as the “black sheep.” In the beginning, it is linked to the mainland via a causeway and bridge, which means that it doesn’t have to depend on ferry services. Contrary to the other islands in the archipelagos, it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. Its distinct Turkish influences make it more in common with the mainland. Luxury villas on Lefkada take you to something of an under-appreciated–and slightly oddball–gem, with intricate lagoons and marshes, spectacular cliffs, bays, headlands, and some of the best beaches in Greece.
Apart from Lefkada Town and Nidri, Lefkada island’s other resorts are along the eastern coast at Perigiali and Nikiana Regular ferries travel between Lefkada and the islands nearby that include Meganissi, Ithaca, and Kefalonia.
Despite being connected with the Greek mainland via a thin causeway Lefkada is still a true island that is both in style and character – and a timeless location for a villa holiday. From the white sandy beaches to its turquoise waters and its attractiveness is not only its beauty, however, but also its famous beaches.
