ABOUT LEFKADA
Discover Ionian
During your stay at Stavros Boutique Apartments you will have the opportunity to discover the beautiful island of Lefkada. You can wander around the cobbled streets of the city, see the wonderful, picturesque houses and make a stop for cool drinks and sweets at the square, where children can play safely. Lefkada has several public playgrounds, for the beneficial entertainment of little visitors. The most popular ones are those on the beach of Lefkada, the marina and the Laki Santa Square.
The undisputed protagonists of the summer may be the beaches of western Lefkada (Kathisma, Porto Katsiki, Egremni, etc.), but you should pay special attention as the sea in them is deep, somewhat steep and not recommended for days when there are waves. Many of the beaches of Lefkada are organized with umbrellas, sunbeds and canteens equipped with small snacks and juices.
Lefkada is the only island you can visit by car without taking a ferry. A floating, continuous flow bridge connects Lefkada with Acarnania. At the entrance of Lefkada, near Ammoglossa, rises the impressive castle of Agia Mavra, a model of fortified architecture of the Middle Ages with a central core in the shape of an irregular heptagon, reinforced at the corners by seven bastions and three external walls. It protected the capital from the first decade of the 14th century until 1684. According to indications, the sanctuary of the Aeneid Aphrodite existed in the place where it was built in antiquity.
The windless golden beach of Agios Nikitas could not be missing from your choices. Dive fearlessly into the turquoise waters of the beaches around the city of Lefkada, Kastro (Castle), Gyra and Agios Ioannis, where the sea is not very deep and usually not very crowded, especially during morning hours.
