About Lefkada
Lefkada is a green Ionian island joined to the Greek mainland by a short causeway, with white-cliff beaches, windsurfing bays and mountain villages.
Lefkada is reached by a causeway and a floating bridge at the island's northern tip, so, unlike most Ionian islands, it can be reached by road. Lefkada Town sits on a lagoon, with a waterfront of cafés, narrow streets and the old Santa Maura fortress guarding the causeway. Mountains cover much of the interior, and olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees fill the valleys.
