This tranquil village may seem small and understated, but it actually has a surprisingly varied array of things to do, see and enjoy. With just a short walk, you can marvel at the natural beauty of a canyon that leads to Nidri Waterfalls.
Nikiana is a peaceful village on the north-east coast of Lefkas. Holidays here are based around the quiet coastline, where you’ll find a small strip of sand at the resort’s nearest beach.
This lovely village is all about the location. It’s perfectly placed for beach holidays as it’s close to some of the best shores in Lefkas.

The island’s east coast is home to countless sleepy bays. You may even find a spot all to yourself. When it comes to resorts, fun-ready Nidri delivers on the fish front, thanks to bustling tavernas watching over the waterfront. Over to the west, the shoreline is cliffy and dramatic – don’t miss pin-up Porto Katsiki – and Agios Ioannis boasts a “life’s a beach” ethos through its laidback ways.
How do pine forests full of waterfalls and walking trails sound? Inland, you’ll enjoy all this alongside dinky villages where time stands still. Surfers should head south, as action-packed Vasiliki is known for its epic waves. The island’s linked to the western Greek mainland too, so it’s easy to explore places such as Preveza if you’re up for it. Sailing's big news here as well.
Peel yourself away from the beach and a world of prize-winning wine awaits. Some say Lefkas’ wine is the best Greek vino you’ll get. Red-wise, there are full-bodied barzamino varieties to tantalise your taste buds. Quite the contrasts are the crisp dry whites made from local grape vardea – the perfect partners for seafood. Take a vineyard tour then fill your glass at Lefkas Earth Winery.
One thing Lefkas has lots of is beaches. And white ones at that. Big, small, bustling, deserted – there are all sorts. But what they have in common is their unspoilt nature. Hit the east coast for forest-backed bays, bluer-than-blue horizons and tavernas on tap or go west for cliff-backed sands that look like something from Robinson Crusoe.

What do you get when you cross waterfalls, woodland and sacred monasteries? Luscious Lefkas, that’s what. Although it can be argued that the biggest draw here is the roll call of knockout beaches – which are sights in themselves – the island has a fair few musts to seek out when you want to stretch your legs and take some snaps.

Isles always guarantee the freshest fish and Lefkas is no exception. Tuck into the so-called ‘sour’ fish (that’s vinaigrette-dressed red mullet to us) with salads and bread before your main is up. Locally-made lentil soup is another fave, alongside sofigado – a slow-cooked beef stew. Wash it all down with an earthy vertzami red and a slice of spiced ladopita cake.

Unless you’re looking for souvenirs or simple essentials, you’ll have to hit Lefkada Town for proper shops. Lefkas has lots of local products to be proud of, ranging from sweet treats like thyme-infused honey and sticky nougat to olive oil, lentils and lace made in the mountains. But Delimari salami is the island’s pride and joy, so pick some up to take home.

Nights out in Nidri are full of fun, so make your way along Main Street if you’re looking for a few sundowners. Or Lefkada Town for some more cosmopolitan options. Everywhere else, the evening drinks scene is more low-key than on the tiles and mainly centres around the tavernas. After a long, lazy dinner, a glass of cinnamon liqueur with the locals goes down well after dark..
