Lefkada is great for exploration, cultural sightseeing and water sports. Here are some of the best experiences on the island
The villages of Nydri, Vasiliki and Ligia are great for water sports. There are many water sport centers for surfing, kitesurfing, as well as paragliding, to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the amazing scenery! If you prefer to explore the magical undersea, in Basiliki, Nikiana and Nydri you will find organized diving centers.
From the village of Nydri, you can catch a boat to many little islands around Lefkada. The most familiar daily cruises are to Meganisi and the private islet of Skorpios. The private island once belonged to the famous Greek businessman Aristotle Onassis and it’s a great place with a lush green backdrop and crystal-clear waters.
For those who prefer a more immediate connection with Lefkada’s green landscape, all you have to do is follow one of its fascinating trails.
Ones that especially stand out are those that end in the Gorge of the Bee or the Waterfalls in Nydri. Also, don’t forget to follow the mapped trail that leads to the picturesque villages of Drymonas and Agios Nikitas
