The island is located in western Greece, it is one of the seven Ionian Sea islands. It has the comfortable advantage of being very close to continental Greece and therefore you can easily reach the island by road. The landscape of Lefkada is quite interesting. Calm blue coloured water and unique beaches on the west coast, mountainous and pieceful in the centre. Certainly you won't be bored as there are plenty of places to discover on the island.

 Lefkada owes its name to the island's most southerly tip, Cape Lefkatas, which in ancient times was known by the Greek name 'Leucas akra' of 'Leucas petra' meaning white end or white stone, referring to the white rock there.

VILLAS' LOCATION

The island’s western side, moulded by wonderful rock falls, has a wild grandiose air to it, with its prepitous rocks and wide open seas. The colour green dominates here in the form of pines stretching down to the sea. Cypresses, olive trees and Judas trees are to be found here and also some remaining vineyards, the nostalgic reminder of the wine making tradition, which was once the mainstays of farmers in the area.

Some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe lie along Lefkada’s western shoreline including Kastro beach, Ai Yiannis, Pefkoulia, Mylos, Kathisma, Yialos, Egremni and Porto Katsiki. Here one can find sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, with trees reaching right down to the water’s edge in some cases or in others with rocks violently, yet magnificently slicing the coastline. These are beaches to stir the spirit…

Between April and mid-September westerly and north-westerly winds (maistros and ponentes) blow on Lefkada, and southerfly winds (ostria) to a lesser extent, making  a yacht or dinghy the ideal way to explore its beautiful beaches, many of which are inaccessible from dry land. The shades of the sea, the constant changes in landscape, the satellite islands one meets along the way, the quiet bays with the opportunities for taking on fresh supplies that they offer, make wandering, following the route taken by Odysseus himself, an enchanting affair.
